Ronaldo Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I really don't think it's all about intensity, like. Though I know what you mean. I just think - t'other night notwithstanding - we're far too susceptible to getting dragged into the whole compact, keep your shape mentality when actually against shit like this, and let's be honest Wolves are utterly fucking shit, we should be playing a far more expansive form of football with wingers and strikers than teams can't negate by limiting time on the ball.

huss9 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 yeah should have been diame/perez off rather than hayden/ritchie. think he was right to keep shelvey on as at least he was trying to get things going. subs should have been much earlier though.

cp40 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Ritchie was going off either as a sub or a red card imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Ritchie was going off either as a sub or a red card imo. think when he got his final warning off the ref it was due some horrendous overacting by the wolves player - it really was a nothing challenge.

joeyt Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Yeah Ritchie had completely lost it in the 2nd half. Maybe if Atsu was brought on at HT to be on the other wing to take the pressure away from Ritchie then it might have made a difference 2nd half, but Ritchie looked like he was going to get sent off. Ayoze is really poor on the left wing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ujpest doza Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Ritchie was going off either as a sub or a red card imo. Yip, he'd lost his discipline and the ref got Lascelles over and warned him he was going off if he didn't shut up and calm down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Well, Bobby trusted him. But that isn't the point, none of the players find out his team until 2 hours or less before KO. It's just the way he is, anyway. It ties in with the rest of his style. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 There's no way of doing it that won't bother some players, let them know day before some will just get in a strop from then. In a team with a settled starting 11 it may make sense to let know changes further in advance but I don't think that Benitez thinks of his team in the sense of a strongest 11 and then players coming in and out to patch up injuries etc, I think Benitez thinks of a plan then chops and changes the players to fit that. I can understand why it may be infuriating for players but Rafa is entitled to say the onus is on the players to get used to it, and that being dropped for a game doesn't mean you won't play the next.

Wallsendmag Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 There's not a single player in that squad who should be guaranteed a place so that's fair enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Well, Bobby trusted him. But that isn't the point, none of the players find out his team until 2 hours or less before KO. It's just the way he is, anyway. It ties in with the rest of his style. IMO, the longer he has with the squad, the less of an issue this will become. He wants all the squad to be able to play together interchangeably with similar effectiveness and cohesity. This will be shown up at its weakest early in his tenure, as fringe players get used more than they did before, and 'first teamers' rotated more. Everyone's on edge as it will be a big change, especially for our squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimpy474 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Can't say i'm a massive fan of some of the things Rafa does with the team selections, yet it's won him multiple trophies in different countries. It's something we have to get used to, it's just him and why he's so successful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
