TRon Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Worth trying him out as a central midfielder? We don't seem to have to many options at the moment when Hayden's out, and he did well in the AFCON by all accounts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Want him to play alongside Clark, only one game but from what I saw on my terrible stream Hanley didn't look much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I know he was shite against Wolves which got him dropped to begin with but Lascelles has had multiple poor performances at this point and Hanley definitely isn't the answer long term. I wouldn't mind giving Mbemba and Clark a go, lets see if Rafa agrees. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnufc Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 He can't follow instructions, apparently http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/chancel-mbemba-inside-story-how-12576509 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Like how that article tries make him the reason his teammates also didn't play well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Could have a role yet on a rotation with Lascelles, Clark and Hayden. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Only learnt about the 75 points thing recently. Reinforces my perspective that Rafa isn't a great league manager. Much mor suited to one-off games and therefore cup competitions. By the sounds of it he's only got more than 82 league points twice in his top level manager career.

Ronaldo Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Had that great season with Liverpool when they nearly won the title in '09. 86 points is pretty impressive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valencia La Liga: 2001–02, 2003–04 In a time when Real Madrid had Zidane,Figo and Ronaldo. 1 of which was won with 75 points. With a top scorer of 7 goals. That's an anomalous year imo. Real finished 3rd with 66 points. Barca 4th. La Coruna finished 2nd. Just looked, the second league win was with 78 points. So correct me if i'm wrong but Benitez has only finished a league season with more than 80 points once in his career. Deportivo won a league title with 69 points a few years earlier.... jheeze. Anyway, it's not to diminish Rafa's achievement. You win the league, you win the league - great. But it just shows, in his best seasons his teams have lost and drawn a number of games which puts this season in some perspective. 1 of his title wins contained 12 defeats. The other 7 defeats and 8 draws. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbnufc Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Pretty annoying that we havent tried him in midfield ahead of colback. Remember on total sport just after the African cup of nations they asked Rafa how he thought Mbemba did in midfield. Rafa replied with something along the lines of "he did well but it's not his position", so I don't think we'll ever see it here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ElCid Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Pretty annoying that we havent tried him in midfield ahead of colback. It's pretty annoying we haven't tried a tortoise in midfield in place of Colback as the tortoise would be more effective Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Was decent apart from one air shot and his poor understanding of communication. Can see this being an issue for Rafa like longer term. It's a shame like cause he is probably our best defender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Did OK 1st half but tbf we were never under any real pressure. Started panicking towards the end of the match and ended up in a mix up with Darlow. Noticed Rafa lost his temper with him a couple of times near the end.
