Dead Manager Walking

Rafa has guided Liverpool to the Champions League twice and won it once.

Apart from that, he’s done nothing to improve Liverpool in the league and their inability to put together any sort of a winning run is going to see them fight it out for 3rd or 4th place  - yet again….

They’ve scraped through the Champions League group stages this season and should they end up with nothing, he’ll be out on his ear and rightly so. Liverpool should be challenging for the league first and foremost.

You get the impressions Benetiz is only in the job because he’s the man that won the Champions League. A lucky manager? His luck can only last so long.
