Ronaldo Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Poor starting line-up, poor subs, dreadful result. Not much else you can say. I'm fed up of it now, like. Failing to score twice against this absolute shit, man. We're an embarrassment and he's got to take his share of the blame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEEJ Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Yes we had enough chances to put the game to bed by half time, but we didn't manage it. His continued use of Colback has to be questioned, as does his refusal to change tact and personnel until it's too late. Rafa's fantastic but he needs to shake things up and sort it out.

Hanshithispantz Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Said it at half time but we're basically Roy Hodgson's England, we play the ball well in the opponents half but when they turtle up we have no answers. The stats look good which gives the illusion of 'it's only a matter of time'. I don't think we have any attacking options on the bench that Rafa trusts for whatever reason and we desperately need to bring in some players with creativity. Without Shelvey we're basically hopeless. It's a definite negative of Rafa but he'll sort us out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I'm not going to complain about the performance at all really, we created enough to win comfortably. I will however say Rafa is fucking mental in the head for picking Colback, despite watching what we all see week in week out. Something he should surely have seen himself by now ffs. It's ridiculous to pick him and he's an awful footballer, and i don't think i've seen a player give away so many thick as fuck fouls in my entire life. Rafa deserves all the stick he'll get for picking him. Still not that worried but i wish Rafa would stop over worrying about changing his preferred system every now and again, especially when we need to chase a game or spot when we need a change earlier in a game.

TRon Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 You could see for a good 10 mins before Colback gave them the game that was coming. Same against Wednesday. If it's not working that's what the subs are for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 First time I've felt a tinge of disappointment with Benitez. I know he doesn't like to make reactionary decisions, but it must be absolutely clear to him now that we need at least 2 signings if not 3 in strategic positions, if we are going to not fuck this up. Colback simply must be binned. We need a left back if Lazaar isn't up to it. We need a winger, and we need someone to link up the play in the final third. I know he sees it, but it simply HAS to be done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hog Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I want to believe that this is just a slow start to what Rafa's overall plan is and that it takes time to build from the bottom up... it's fucking soul-destroying though when we aren't beating wank teams in the Championship. We ARE better than this, whether our players don't believe in themselves or they're just losing motivation though is something that needs addressing, we shouldn't have to 'buy' the league via the January transfer window with the squad we have.

Gallowgate Toon Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I don't usually subscribe to the subs stuff but I do today - that was far too late. Not going to berate him for us not finishing chances, though. I know his mantra is usually around staying cool but I think today might spur him into some quicker transfer action. We do need some faces in in midfield, and quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's not working that's what the subs are for. The subs are largely poor too, though. People who think we're gonna win this league without investment this month need a wake-up slap.

nufcjb Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Hope if he has plans to sell Mitrovic, he rethinks it wisely because there is no way we can rely on Gayle to score every game. Rafa has to try and play two strikers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
