timeEd32 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 When I watched the first 15-20 mins I just felt that if we got the 1st goal the flood gates would open. We really looked so much more organised. Just wasn't our night EVERY 50:50 went their way. Leicester forces 50-50s to go their way. It's amazing how hard they work in an intelligent, controlled way.

Carlito Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I know its been said but itll be heartbreaking in the summer if we go down and he leaves. He's the man who could lead us to far bigger and better things if we stay up. I'm shitting myself over this. We may have to wait another 10-15 years just to get this kind of chance again.

Me too, it actually made me far more nervous when he was appointed because we now actually have something to hope for, which means something to lose lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kaz1983_Liverpool Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 How will Rafa set the midfield up? Will he stick with a 5 man midfield, 2-3 midfield? Two deeper midfielders - an energetic, ball winning type and more create deep playmaking type. Three attack minded players - two attacking midfielders, that can create/press and one wide forward looking to support the lone forward. Newcastle's midfield options: Moussa Sissoko Georginio Wijnaldum Jack Colback Vurnon Anita? Siem de Jong Jonjo Shelvey Henri Saivet? Andros Townsend? Cheick Tiote Ayoze Perez? I think Moussa Sissoko/Jonjo Shelvy/Georginio Wijnaldum CM/AM set up might be the go. 1. CM with a physical presence, an energetic and put himself about. 2. CM with a good range of passing and can use that start attacks from deep or who can circulate the ball. 3. AM who can drop deep when possession is lost, supporting the CM's but has the pace to make runs into the box and link up with the CF - a creative type.

SUPERTOON Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Supposedly he has met with Armstrong at the training ground. Assuming that he hasn't been recalled, can we look into this as Benitez possibly staying on regardless of whether or not we stay up? Seems a little pointless in meeting Armstrong at this point otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peppe Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 What are the lyrics to that Rafa song they were singing last night? Tune's been in me head all day. Rafa Benitez, Rafa Benitez Chancel Mbemba, Gini Wijnaldum, Shelvey and Perez Rafa Benitez, Rafa Benitez. To what tune? https://twitter.com/FBAwayDays/status/709470519628795906 God, I'm starting to hate mobile phones. There's always some moron holding a phone filming everything that is happening, it's like they live their life through their cell phones.

The thing with this that I don't get is, even if you're someone who wants to film the experience so that you can watch it later, 1. The quality is nothing like real life. 2. You're stopping yourself from watching it in the moment and 3. There are hundreds of other people doing the same, so all you have to do is go on YT afterwards if you want to relive the experience.

Figures 1-0 Football Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 He's been very poor recently, but then again so has the whole team. He's not been particularly worse than anyone else really, think he and Sissoko can strive under Rafa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
