IRWT! Is that true ? However only was any good (townsend), one I'd have given time (Wijnaldum), Two I'd like to have been given more of a chance for me to see for myself (Saivet and Thauvin), the rest, meh!

IRWT! ..... and they were most of the senior players too. Last promotion season the dressing room was full of older experienced players (Nolan, Harper, Shola, Barton, Smith, Colo etc etc) and whatever their playing impact they were strong characters to have around when the pressure was on. Rafa's achievement in getting this squad together after the upheaval and putting us where we are in the table is quite brilliant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He spent £55 million, we should be walking the league and should have won every single game 10-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I wish Rafa would try two strikers against the 'lesser' teams. The upcoming two home games are must wins. Good performances wouldn't go amiss either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I've said before, Rafa could keep the same formation if he must but play Murphy as the number 10 with Gayle up front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkzter Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Has us playing terribly at the moment, let's face it, been poor To watch most of the season but he's been getting the results, scraping a good few of them. People are right to ask questions or criticise without being flamed. Hiwever, We really needed to strengthen in January, would have made his job a whole lot easier and pretty much guaranteed promotion, but never that simple at nufc when ran by the Idiots in top. You just know Ashley and co won't think it's good enough for the squad we have. Trouble ahead no doubt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinho lad Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 He's getting pretty much the max out of the squad available. Those people that are moaning their heads off are probably the same people who were at the start of the season predicting something ridiculous like remaining the whole season unbeaten, Mitrovic raping the league, blah blah blah! They clearly misjudged the league due to their lack of knowledge about it. He's doing the job expected, imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is the case and we are promoted we're totally fucked next season without major surgery to the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm disappointed in this squad, no doubt about it, they have struggled to rise above this shitty level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone honestly have think Benitez would be happy in the prem with the current squad I tell you what I wish we'd got someone in with proper knowhow of the championship like Nigel Pearson haha It's not perfect but we are currently top and very likely to go up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Mitro, Diame, Perez and a few others have been a massive disappointment this season. I'm sure Rafa expected a lot better from them. That's 3 of the main players in the squad who aren't really cutting it. That leaves a void for Rafa to try to fill with 'lesser' players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
