Is Rafa softening?
Some of the noises coming out of Liverpool boss Rafael Beneitz have been, well, very un Rafa like
Take for example his reaction to the beach ball scoring the winner at the Stadium of Light. Old skool Rafa would have been ranting and raving for days after about the injustice of beach toys invading the pitch in the north east.
But the current Rafa just rolls over, kicks his kegs in the air and says oh you know, these things happen.
What's that all about? He should at least be blaming Sir Alex Ferguson but oh no. The Spanish waiter has gone all meek and mild.
And then we have the dodgy penalty (what, Liverpool and dodgy pens? Never, I won't have it) against Birmingham when David 'Who are ya' Ngog auditioned for the 2012 Olympics.
Instead of coming out all guns blazing our goateed hero just says 'yeah, maybe it wasn't a pen.'
This is the guy who can go on TV straight faced and say yep, he was fouled even when replays showed otherwise.
It ain't natural I tell thee and I fear portends doom. Has Rafa truly lost heart in his job? Has the behind the scenes crap at Anfield pissed on his fire once and for all and now he's just going thrugh the motions?
Is he actively, in a passive way, looking for the old tin tack and a golden pay off before returning to Spain?
