@@Sigmamale1289 I’m more a believer that Stevie carried that team than Rafa, Rafa was a decent coach but he inherited Houllier’s squad with a captain fantastic. Rafa picked the wrong side in the Athens final and it showed. He even binned out Alonso, our most reliable and consistently creative player after SG for Barry.

RAFA deserves so much credit for winning the CL especially with apart from Alonso,Gerrard and a few other key players that year we had some limited player's in our squad and team that year and others but he got everything out of the group he had especially winning LIVERPOOL'S 5the European cup RESPECT.
15 years on and I've seen it a million times and I still expect Gudjohnsen to equalise

Rafa the gaffer forever a red❤️ unbelievable memories!
The sheer improbability of Liverpool's 2005 run cannot be exaggerated. One giant after another. And the names...Ibrahimovich, Robben, Drogba, Pirlo, Kaka, Seedorf, Shevchenko and of course, Mourinho. All notches in LFC's belt en route to the Miracle of Istanbul.
Looking back it seems such along time ago but the warm feeling you get never really goes away we are so lucky to have these times has Liverpool fans
So much nostalgia. It's one of the few things in life I don't feel the need to compare with Klopp. I knew I chose the right club decades ago despite Man Utd being in the ascendancy.
what a manager!
Fell in love with football and LFC in 2005. Always liked Liverpool but it was 2005 that really changed me. Now I have witnessed us win Premier league, CL and other cups under Klopp. Without a doubt Rafa is total legend and Klopp is total legend. But Gerrard… he is the Knight of Liverpool, the eternal warrior. Through all the highs and lows, he entertained and fought for us. What a hero.
That's a very flattering picture of Raffa!
Anfield crowd and noises was soooo crazy!

Check the tickets in my wallet Then swig a cup of tea 7.30 in the morning One game from Wembley Out the door and on the street Off to meet the boys To sing the songs we love to sing And fill the ground with noise The coach pulls up and we all pile on Belly full of butterflies Then off to sheffield we all go The FA cup our prize 9.00am and the songs have started I talk about the game To a young lad thats sat next to me I didn't catch his name The journeys taking hours And we cross the pennine hills But my mind drifts off to hillsborough As i dream of beardsleys skills "My favourite players Aldo" Says the boy sat next to me His eyes full of excitement And his words are filled with glee "I'm meeting me mate when i get to the ground" "He's travelling up by train" "I'll see you back here on the coach" "When we've beaten forest again" The coach pulled up and off he went Going to meet his friend I check my ticket once again THE LEPPINGS LANE END Its getting near to kick off And i'm getting close to the ground But nobody seems to be moving I'm stuck tight in this crowd I'm just starting to panic And a bizzie opens the gate A red tide moves down the tunnel Moving closer to thier fate I remember clearly that tunnel And the light shone at the end And as i think back to that fatefull day I still cant comprehend That the coppers called us vandals And drunken loutish liars And the media fed us spite and hate When compassion was required But back to that day and the things i saw Unfold before my eyes The sight of grown men screaming And the air was full of cries But i was one of the lucky ones Because i came home alive I watched heroes in scarves on the pitch Trying helplessly to revive- Their friends their family and strangers Who'd all come to watch a game But their lives were crushed that fatefull day On a terrace called Leppings Lane The memories still haunt me Every time i go to sleep But theres one memory that gets me And always makes me weep Back on the coach with my head on the glass I remember my heart it skipped a beat When i turned to the young lad next to me And noticed his empty seat There were 96 empty seats that day 96 friends that we lost And while Kelvin counted the pennies The families counted the loss So next time you're at Anfield Visit the eternal flame Feel the stone cold marble And touch a persons name And while you say a silent prayer And your dreams are tossed and blown Remember those 96 empty seats That must never walk alone
