Guest neesy111 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 I said it a week ago but it's a fucking disgrace, like. Middle of August and still excuses being made about needing 2 or 3 more players. It's a fucking joke. We've made something like £50m on player sales. This tbh. Midfield is awful.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Yeah, the team was pretty much perfect given Richie being not fit enough to start. What I'm more concerned about is that 'be solid and our quality will show' isn't going to be enough, because we don't have enough quality. Hopefully a win or two will get the players believing, but at the moment they look just as nervous and static as before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 For what it's worth I was happy with the starting line and the idea behind the tactics today. The players executed it horrendously however. You're happy with multiple defensive midfielders and a single striker up front on the end of long balls at home to fucking Huddersfield? Honestly.

Crumpy Gunt Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Only 132 points to play for we're doomed. Bloke knows what he is doing, some of the comments... To be fair in 180 minutes so far this season he's looked like he hasn't a clue. We've looked toothless, clueless and poorly coached. How much has he spent?

huss9 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 these arent even average championship teams that we have played so far, yet the defensive team set up has been mind-boggling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 If we had a defensive midfielder playing as a RW that doesn't negate the issue, it fucking compounds it. Why do people fail to acknowledge this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minhosa Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Just a 'wake up call' tbh. Same if we get turned over again next game and the one after that. No big issues here, just wake up calls. Fucking load of shite. Good job nobody is saying that. They did after Fulham and plenty of people went along with it when it was very clearly cliched Shite tbqh.

Stifler Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Ok Rafa got some things wrong today and against Fulham. Sometimes thats going to happen, no manager is going to get it right 100% of the time and in both games he has made changes in areas where we have identified weaknesses where he can, think Colback being taken off last week and Aarons this week as examples. This is what sets him apart from our previous managers, he's not making the same mistakes and is prepared to admit he is wrong and change things even during games. If people want a team where everything is going to fall into place with a manager who can make mistakes and don't get punished by it then Barcelona and Real Madrid are there support guys. Honestly man the comments of 'Change it or piss off', 'Things are not going to work out' are cringeworthy and I'm sick of hearing them already. Either get behind the best manager we have had and one who has changed so much about the club already and give him a fair chance or piss off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaus Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 If he's persisting with Anita then him and Janmaat need to switch round I imagine that is his thinking during general play tbh. He obviously doesnt trust Janmaat bombing forward all the time, so wants somebody who can cover for him when needed. I did not watch today so cant comment, but Anita was diabolical last week.

Be nice if the people who bought it actually admitted it was a load of old gash that, if trotted out by SMc and Colo they'd have been slated. A total nonsense and that's been proven this week.

brummie Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Benitez is one of the best managers in Europe. Getting him to hang around and work in this league for you was a coup, no doubt about it.

Guest neesy111 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 People are forgetting Rafa has been a failure at other club's, hugely as well. He needs to wake up to what we need in this division and soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 He'll get it right I'm confident of that, but I think he needs to fundamentally change the way he approaches games and sets his team up. I know he's used 4-2-3-1 throughout his career but I'm not sure if this cautious, slow approach to negating the opposition is going to work. Needs horses for courses and that means playing higher, quicker with 2 up top, width and getting after teams from the first whistle. I trust him but something needs to change.

He needs to wake up to what we need in this division and soon. What clubs was he a failure at? Real Madrid where they hound out every manager?, Napoli where he won stuff with them and was building a squad and only left to join Real Madrid? Inter? Liverpool? Valencia?, the clubs he managed before that which got him the Valencia job? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
