Sho Time Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Rafa urgently needs to sort out his team selection and particularly needs to stop playing Colback, Anita and also Hayden who I feel are all to lightweight to regularly play CM in this league. Tiote should be starting if fit alongside Diame. Also I don't think you can go into this league playing 1 up top - particularly a small striker in Gayle - up against 4 big bruisers. When Mitro gets back he needs to be starting every game with a strike partner, Gayle and Ayoze can compete for that role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovejoy Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 We've got a superb manager, the best we're ever likely to get. He's trying to turn around a loser club from top to bottom. He'll fix it, have faith in that. Things obviously need to change, and I'm sure they will, he'll be ruthless in his quest to get it right, the bloke will do anything within his power to ensure he doesn't have egg on his face, make no mistake about it.

Yorkie Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 We need loads more players for what? To win the league or to be good enough to beat Huddersfield? Whatever, we've got enough quality in the squad, not that it isn't a bit imbalanced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Banaloona Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Too many clouded by who Rafa is rather than what he is serving up. What he has achieved in the past has no bearing what he isn't achieving today. He's recruited poorly by still not addressing the areas of the team that still need attention - LB, Winger, Centre Fwd and judging by today we need a creative midfielder too. Finally he's setting the team up far too negatively..... If this was Pardew he would be ran out of town, yet it's okay for Rafa to do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

louistoon Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 we can blame tactics all we want I think what we've learnt so far is that without Colo, Sissoko, Wiji and Townsend we have a very average team. I think even Rafa may have been a little suprised with some of them but combine an average team with a large amount of expectation and teams that will see us as one of the teams to beat and we're in quite a dodgy situation. We haven't bought enough quality in. Gayle is decent but he's never scored more than 10 goals in a league season. Without quality in other areas we need a target man up front and without mitrovic we don't have that. The team needs time to gel and performances will improve, but we've been trying to build a squad ignoring the fact that our starting XI are not good enough to win this league. We need a goalscorer and a winger and our defense needs to improve. We can blame Anita, Colback, Dummett etc... all we want they are not the problem, the problem is that there are no players in our squad who look like they will stand out in this division.

joeyt Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Aarons was poor today and probably rightly taken off but it doesn't help him when Anita offers nowt on the other wing. When Ritchie came on they put 3 or 4 players on him and Janmaat which often left Dummett on his own down the left. Really think we need to start with Aarons and Ritchie on either side so defenders can't just crowd one winger because they know Anita will do nothing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GavMcEl Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Didn't see the game today cus I was working ? And I'm not gonna watch that monstrosity of a highlight show on channel 5 because it's absolute balls....2 defeats in 2 games is dreadful... What I will say is I gave every faith in Rafa ! He is a genius and I can tell you now we will go up and go up as champions ! The 2nd game of the season last year I said that we where going down on here and got laughed at ! So trust my judgement we will be grand ! And any one even doubting Rafa needs to sort their fucking life's out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 still trust rafa but feel he needs to go back to the drawing board and think again about tactics and recruitment. both been lacking. remember its fulham and huddersfield we lost to - relegation strugglers from last year.

Mattoon Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 He'll get it right, just hope it's sooner rather than later, before daylight starts appearing between us and the top. Definitely needs to get some premiership quality in the team. As much as I hate the bloke for what he's been doing I think Sissoko, if he stays, can make a huge difference in this league. Mitro can't come back quick enough either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
