That's Norwich who are now 15 points behind us. We're definitely doomed though, now we're only 2nd with 63 points left to play for. You dont think we should try to look at the potential defeat we have turned into one positive,and the 7 we have not. Just carry on, dont question anything. And be happy when we look utter shit vs weak opponents.?? The point is that we haven't been 'shite' and that Rafa's stubborness actually has us in 2nd place. We're overreacting to a bad run of form like we were back then. He's identified areas we need to strengthen so he sees the problems. Him not changing up the formation is just something we're going to have to live with knowing that his record suggests he knows what he's doing. http://img.picturequotes.com/2/545/544795/giving-up-quote-1.jpg Unless you mean 'expecting him to know what he's doing'? He's a manager who consistently wins trophies, he obviously knows what he's doing. Him not making subs until whenever he fancies isn't bad management because some FM experts wanted to bring Murphy on 10 minute earlier. I'm not saying he got tonight right, or the Wednesday game right. It's fine to disagree with his decisions. But he obviously has a reason for what he's doing, he's not just winging it like Carver. People are acting like he's fucking clueless, it's absurd. No they aren't. Frustrated fans are kicking off at the lack of plan B when we go behind. Lack of trying something new/Different. Over thinking this league and the competition we are up against is ridiculous. I would be interested to see us when we lose these player's to ACN and if we lost some to injury just what personel we would throw together to continue to salvage 4231. Me personally would just shove my best 11 out in their favoured positions, and not be forcing players that cant play number 10 to play it. Just out of curiosity how would you like to see us set up. Whats your best 11. Forget Rafa for a minute.

Not that late. Had 26 minutes to do something. But yeah i can understand freaking out at the then top rival side at home 3-1down.

Ah of course. The game where subs were made sooner rather than later and we were forced to play two strikers. Amost makes sense to try this more when we are behind. We were losing when we made the first sub. Freakish 6 mins added. Two early changes from 70 mins went 442 and won. Mitro & Hayden. For Diame & Colback. Atsu came on for the last 6 mins. Its better than trying an extra attacker with a couple of minutes left.

Have we come from behind to win yet?

I could see Benitez using him. He did weird shit like that with turd like Babel and Biscan

That is exactly it. Hes getting paid thousands pw for this.

At least Taylor had some decent games for us. This cunt is just shit week in week out. He will be one of them we struggle to shift. Have to wait until contract expires or he gets ran over on his way to training

The new cult prick/Steven Taylor.

Give yourself a pat on the back. Not about being right or wrong tho. But the petty little fairies who freak if Rafa gets slight criticism. Best team in the division best manager. No question. Sticking religiously to the same tactics is ludicrous. Surley that is obvious. The same tactic that has us the most wins and league goals in the country? I dont believe that its just down to that, The best players perhaps. Without Shelvey we could be one of the worst sides atm. The tactics need looking at when you go behind.1 up top away from home i dont mind so much. Probably why our away form is so good. 1 up top at home is bollox pal. Cmon stop being in denial. We should spunk this league not be losing this many. A manager of this calibre and players to match,and now we look like we might have to spend even more to buy the title or promotion?

Love how some of us get smashed for pointing out flaws and stubborn tactics from Rafa late subs poor selections. Finally the penny drops for some and its ok to be critical ?. So fickle.

This run of results just proves Shelvey is instrumental to our play. We have been crap without him

Always too late with the subs.......

Losing a fair few this past few months. Seriously need to reinvest in more players this window. The best manager & players in this league yet still will have to buy promotion or the title. Hard to believe.

Serves Rafa right for keep picking him. Has no purpose on the pitch. Except cocking thins up.

Fuck off Colback

Fancy murphy to come off the bench and score. Cmon Rafa call some subs

Absolutely i agree. Drop Diame back in to CM and throw murphy up with Gayle & remove Colsack

Can't blame Colback for that Colback gets blamed for just playing ?

Was handled to be fair. But colback should have been all over that.

Hayden doing well.
