Scotty66 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Yeah forgot about Tiote. The impression from Rafa is that they've definitely said they want out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I thought he said 2 or 3 more to come in. He did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 The squad's absolutely enormous at the minute, tbh I'd be surprised if it's not more than that out the door, at least on loan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Really good interview that, was expecting the worst with Holloway but they both came across fine. Enjoyed Rafa's stuff about controlling games and saying that possession doesn't always mean you're in control, which quite a few pundits and fans seem to think, and is more about organisation. Nice stuff about his family too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Cracking interview. Rafa Benitez man, honest, focused and very knowledgeable. Onwards and upwards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Saivet, Sissoko, Tiote out with a winger in, probably. Nobody will touch Riviere or Gouffran. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Very surprised he decided to play safe and negative in the fucking championship, we need to be attacking teams and putting them on the back foot. what the fuck was that with Anita on the right side of midfield.

Flip Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Very surprised he decided to play safe and negative in the f***ing championship, we need to be attacking teams and putting them on the back foot. what the f*** was that with Anita on the right side of midfield. Rafa isn't the right manager if you want attacking team. We'll be promoted easily, but not because we play great attacking football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElDiablo Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Did the same against Villa. Kept it tight early on and they gained encouragement. This Anita on the wing rubbish needs to stop too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Shades of Villa away. Hopefully it's a lesson learned (and best to do it now before it becomes costly). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I love Rafa but Christ did he get that all wrong. Not too worried though, its a 46 game season and hopefully he's already seen the problems that need rectifying Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I think Diame solves one area. Mitrovic coming back helps another. Left-back. Should be priority imo we can't rely on it all coming from Janmaat again this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Think he failed tonight, he's got to pick a better line up and has to work out how to beat the crap teams we'll be facing all season. He's good enough to do that, but not beating the crap teams was highlighted as a major weakness when he was at Liverpool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I love Rafa but Christ did he get that all wrong. Not too worried though, its a 46 game season and hopefully he's already seen the problems that need rectifying Let down by the ones he trusted + he got it wrong. Regardless some of those idiots need to not miss hit 2 yard passes or fluff shots from the 6 or lose the mongoloid giant up top on a corner. He's going to get ruthless with these guys this week. Fully expect and believe we will run the table - just need to make sure we fix this quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 He has to fix a completely different mentality now. Last season he had to get the team to work for each other because they were expected to lose. This season they're expected to win. The players have to do more than turn up. They have to make the better decisions going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 If he's going to make mistakes and learn from them, better it be now than later in the season. Hope he learned that: 1. Anita is never a right winger. 2. Colback was, is and will forever be shit. 3. Hanley is Williamson Mk2. Play Mbemba when available. 4. Don't throw on Shelvey when we're down. Never going to help. 5. Two minions up front won't work. Need a goalscoring Mitrovic/Carrol type up front. 6. Get Ayoze off set pieces and fucking sort out both offensive and defensive set pieces. 7. Ritchie is great. Keep him on the right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
