Rafael after beating Blackburn
"I think it is a model for all the managers around the world, their style of football, his behaviour," he said of Rovers tactics and their manager.
"The style of football, I think, Barcelona are thinking of copying."
As an Evertonian I am made up that he keeps on putting himself up to be shot down but you would think a RS would have a quiet word. Shankley could get away with it because when he was cracking jokes they weren't hugely in the [Poor language removed].
Also would any neutral football fan associate anything about Liverpool's playing style this year with that of Barcelona? Its not a controversial point to say that out of the 'so called top 4' they play by far the most least attractive football. It was tedious watching them against city. After they beat us last month the ****er said he was looking forward to playing Arsenal as they at least played football unlike us. If you want to sum up the shites performance at the Emirates it was 'in your face and hard to beat.' They were set up all over the park for the point just like city.
The thing is Jon in Oxford, Ben in Swindon and James in East Anglia all lap his constant bollox up. If you constantly play Lucas and the Argentinean rat in the centre how do you expect to be creative? If they wanted to make an effort at being creative against us, Arsenal, city or Wigan all they had to do was play Aquilani. Or alternatively deploy the wingers sat on the bench as they had zero width. Instead the way they set up screamed out they wanted a kicking contest. And then the Spanish tool beats a Blackburn team costing 1/5 of his own and says they are anti-football. The man is special needs.
I like him. I hope he stays.
