Bimpy474 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 He's not at the highest level anymore and his tactics aren't working at the moment. What do you do? You mix it up, try something new. I don't give a fuck about his former success tbh. All that matter is here and now. I mentioned it in the other thread, but his stubbornness is so annoying. So the answer is change your philosophy and start from scratch because a few people on NO feel it isn't working? Personally I'm not sure we have the players to implement any system particularly well, certainly not at a level which this forum seems to expect. Now you know that's utterly over the top, as is most discussions on here at times. Tweak it, mix it up a tad that's all i'd like him to do. Oh and fuck that 4-2-3-1 shit off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, no need to start from scratch, but just do something different. He could certainly be more attacking. We can't defend atm, why not go all out attack?

To protect our less than stellar defence and to control the game. I understand the sentiment but it seems based on emotion not pragmatism, what managers tear up the way they do things based on a tricky patch?

Chris Banaloona Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Squad is shite. Rafa assembled the squad. Way of playing is shite. Rafa has us playing this way. No wonder the powers that be don't trust him anymore. I think I'll be proved correct with my predication from early on this season that this team won't be promoted.

joeyt Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Conceding from set pieces again is frustrating the life out of me. We don't have anyone on either post and don't leave anyone up the field so the ball comes straight back to us. I've said it all season but every time we have a corner our coach Mikel Antia comes haring out of the dug out and pointing ferociously to people about where they should stand, which surely should have been sorted out before kickoff. It's been a problem all season and shown bo sign of change Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 The guy is being paid probably 4x more than other managers are in this division and I don't think he's justifying that at present along with members of his squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm. That'd worry me if I were you lot. Though looking at what some of you lot are saying here, I'm not sure you are worried as you want him half lynched. I watched that second half and you should have scored another one or two easy. He's fucking Rafa man. It's never easy. It's always a ride. But it'll be fine.
