I don't think a players meeting is something nice under Rafa.

I think the question should be why he decided to spend the money in this way. It is not a question that 1. He being fucked up by the fat cunt 2. He shouldn't be responsible for buying his 27th choice etc. However assuming that what he spent was what he have and he has "the right to choose", then I think it is valid to question why pay 10m for bench warmers.

I am missing Leon Best

I think this is legit. In fact Staveley one was also legit. Just "couldn't agree the price".

Loser will get sacked

He isn't rough. His ball control is more than decent. If you really pay attention to his ball control and build up plays you should notice he actually contributes a lot to the team even outside the penalty area. He is getting the basics right, for a target man.

I genuinely don't think we would play better football (or more entertaining football to be precise) if Rafa is backed. You are talking about something that he has never done throughout his career, no matter in Valencia and Liverpool.

Sir Bobby Robson is better. Rafa isn't too faraway though. Just my opinion. Look back the pressing tactics deployed by Sir Bobby, despite having an aging Shearer and the pairs of Obrien and Dabizas, were pure magical stuff. I know Rafa is excellent at forming a solid defense even if the players are shit but that's in expense of our attacking abilities and the quality of the match. That's the thing he can never catch Sr Bobby imo. We had been Klopps Liverpool about 20 years ago.

he sanctioned the deal because he needs to maximize Newcastle's profit asap.

he should be dropped. We have Muto who appear to be in better shape. no excuse to keep Perez in our starting eleven.

We just need a goal to start a terrible shitstorm.

So the accusation that he didn't get into decent position is rubbished.

I thought both Milano have been sold recently?

"Rafa is always right" is different from "Rafa makes mistakes but he is absolutely blameless". What I see is some posters simply point out what Rafa did wrong and then immediately get rinsed for "how dare you criticise Rafa". He always got my support doesn't I mean I can agree with starting Hayden for the last game. I could never understand nor agree with this decision.

It's nearly two months into the season now, you would like to think someone like Muto can offer a bit more than Perez or Joselu. They might press the defenders as per Rafa's instructions, but they just don't offer enough threat in the penalty area. Bearing in mind most of them didn't really get a pre-season with us it doesn't surprise me in the least. They may be better players who can offer more individually but Rafa's all about the collective. He probably wants to have coached them for longer, hence all his comments at the beginning of the window about getting players in ASAP. So is Murphy "settled" now?

If Rafa doesn't want to play a player, you should take him away from the equation. Aarons, Mitrovic, Lazaar, Mbemba, in a way Gamaz etc. So in this perspective the number of players that we "would" and "could" play definitely improves. Our squad massively overachieved last season imo. Merino didn't play much in our 2nd half of the season and it's Shelvey Diame and Perez trio that really shined in our midfield. I ain't that concerned about the results so far. Any point is a bonus. What I concern is the signings. I don't understand why but it seems Rafa doesn't trust them.

We are stronger in terms of squad depth but our starting eleven is more or less the same.

It's normal to lose to Arsenal imo.

What the fuck is Hayden doing

Hardly surprising under Rafa. Even if we lose we could still get a favourable goal difference at the end of the season, calm down guys. Rafa style.

Base on his performance this season I really can't agree that "he is too good for us"

Why question Rafa rather than Mitro? If he'd rather run around for Jokanovic wearing a Fulham shirt then he can f*** off anyway. Right, Rafa shouldn't be questioned for the handling of Mitro, so Rafa basically did nothing wrong in relation to the whole saga. Then explain to me why people above are suggesting Rafa messed up this one? As I said you shouldn't keep a bad egg in your refrigerator so Rafa was right to get rid of Mitro even if we got no one in return. Why should Rafa care for our next season when his only mission left is to survive this one? You still don't get what type of manager Rafa is?

Lascelles?! I'm sick of this thread already and it's only September At this moment I am pretty sure Mitrovic could get a higher transfer fee from the market.

I watched every Fulham games this season and honestly Mitrovic did run around and gave pressures to opponent defenders, except for the final few minutes where he looked knackered. His statement was strange imo. Rather than "his style not fit under Rafa", I would say it's "he doesn't wanna run for Rafa". Their relationship was broken down a long time ago, i think it's pretty clear. Rafa was right to get rid of someone who doesn't want to work under him. Rafa, however, should be questioned why the relationship with our most valuable asset (sadly) has worsened to the point of no return.

I want to ask for long. What means buy trust Rafa 100%?
