Darth Crooks Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 He can't weed many people out either, because he doesn't have anyone of any quality to replace them with. This is it. 'Sissoko man, ye shite. Needs dropping' Well on merit yes but who does he have that will vastly improve De jong? Obertan? Marveux? Rafa's problem is a team that has been recruited poorly and seldom devleoped. Unless they come out now and say you're getting this....etc etc. Keep us up (unlikely) I have no faith the club will do the right thing. Instead it's can kicking talk of inquests and bullshit interviews playing pontius pilate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

De Jong is not an athlete but you can tell he knows what should happen next and can execute. Problem is his legs will likely fall off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Sissoko and Janmaat have gone to pot since Rafa arrived. They weren't up to much beforehand but those 2 in particular have regressed. People do get caught up the passion, fight side of things that they overlook how s*** the squad is in my opinion. I see a lot of truth in that. Passion and fighting is still the opposite of melting. However you describe it - they dn't have the mental fortitude for the fight. Georginio. Are you suggesting that Rafa has made them worse? I'm suggesting their performances have deteriorated. The few positive things they used to do have stopped. Do you disagree with that? I'm not blaming Rafa. But obviously we haven't gotten any better since he arrived. He's by far the best out of the 4 managers we've had over the last 2 years and he hasn't elicited a response from the group. The common thread is the group of players. I do blame the players but can't remember many positives pre Rafa. Neither can I. But Janmaat & Sissoko down the right from an attacking perspective... well chance creation perspective where better than they are now. That's all I wanted to say.

I was just demonstrating that people saying drop these players who aren't showing fight need to temper that with the fact that there just as many problems with those in reserve. It was just an example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a decent partnership down that side. Now Sissoko is playing left wing where he is worse than useless and Janmaat has Townsend in front of him who is cutting inside every time he gets it.

That's the one thing I just haven't been able to get my head around. Janmaat and Sissoko were our only attacking outlet that actually produced service for the strikers and he got rid of it.

Dave Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 If the brainless wankers running the club had brought Benitez in straight after the Chelsea game, he'd have had loads more time to work with and assess the squad, followed by a game against Stoke to get a first look at the players ahead of the crucial home game against Bournemouth. Had we won that it could have really done wonders for our confidence. But that would have been far too fucking sensible of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty66 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Sounds weird but would rather he did that if when we go down. Allows a full season for him to rebuild while still remaining competitive. Doing in the Premier League could backfire considering how bad every single thing at the club is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's just hope to God he stays regardless. I still think he might if given the backing of the owner and I don't really see where Mike Ashley can go. He's tried every cheapskate trick in the book and that has proved disastrous. Rafa would provide a real inside football knowledge that has been missing since Keegan was here. If you had the choice between giving Rafa complete control of football matters or Charnley which way would you go? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
