Some wider comments from him after the weekend:

 

“We have to improve in defence because we are making mistakes, we have to improve in the middle and move the ball quicker, and we have to improve in the final third because we were not precise.

 

“We didn’t have enough good movement and the right patterns to our play.

 

“We didn’t do what we’ve been doing in training sessions during the game.”

How do those quotes directly relate to playing Vurnon Anita on the wing? Where is the explanation for that? f***ing useless Rafa.

I think Anita is supposed to alter the patterns of play, dropping inside and allowing Janmaat to overlap while playing triangles with 2 defensive mids and attacking mid, with out and out winger the other side and also covering Janmaat runs.

 

Not that I like the idea, but I kind of get it.

i said this myself in a couple of threads, anita clearly isn't being told to play wide at all...in his time with us we've seen he's able to get up and down and put a quality ball in from wide, but he's not even trying to do that, he's consistently coming inside and facing up for the ball into his feet

 

or at least that's what he did the entire time he was on the pitch saturday

“It’s not just about the division, you know that when we play at home teams will be organised and play deep. They will play counter-attack.

 

“It’s nothing new that we should expect. It’s just more that we need to play with confidence to break down these teams.

 

“We need to do what we do in training sessions that we aren’t doing in the games.”

 

“We were nervous and we gave the other team the belief they could do something. Obviously, the two goals are something that’s difficult to explain.

 

“But the team still have to better. The second half was much better but still not enough to win this type of game.”

 

“Now we have to start again. We can blame each other or anyone but it doesn’t matter, we have to work harder and play better and be sure we don’t make the same mistakes in the next game.”

 

:thup:

He says it so diplomatically but I see veiled threats to his starting 11 in almost every sentence.

The start we've had seems to be a mixture of nerves, adjustment to the Champ and Rafas tactics for the new players, maybe even the weight of expectation imo.  I don't think the squad is that deficient, plus I can see us bringing in 2-3 more, the early season loss of Mitro is having an impact also. 

 

The one thing we should be reassured about is having this bloke as manager, he's a winner.  His record shows that his teams win matches and he will be working very very hard to put it right as I'm sure the players will be.  Having quality in the dugout and on the pitch usually shows through and I think it will sooner rather than later.

Imagine if after the years of our club sticking by the dross of Pardew, Carver and McClaren, despite their awful form, they sacked Rafa after just a few loses :lol: I'd go ballistic. But some on here (inc other threads) are talking about Rafa being sacked/should be sacked. Mental.

 

We're getting promoted this season and he'll win us a trophy, of some sort, during his time here. I'm confident of this...despite the online bed-wetting I'm seeing.

 

He relegated us. He's overseen two inept displays in the Championship, too. Time to move for Bruce while he's available. Knows the league inside out and will get the best out of Diame. It's a no brainer.

 

lol

Anyone who wants Rafa sacked basically has no clue about football.

:thup: Yet you can guarantee there'll always be a selection of our fan base that was happy with how things were going under Pardew. It really does baffle me.

Has anyone said they want him sacked ? Credit where it's due, criticism likewise.

All I've seen is people giving him a bit of criticism, as much as we all love him he does deserve a bit for some strange decisions.

 

Nobody wants rid of him and there's no need for any ridiculous over the top statements about his management or his future.

 

He is the best manager we'll get any time soon and I still have full faith he'll deliver to us what we want, but everyone makes mistakes and its OK to voice that, it doesn't mean I or anyone else who does wants him gone or hates him.

Can't be arsed to search but that knacka in here was talking about getting rid for someone 'more suited' and then there's this type of s***:

 

Benitez will be gone before the end of October.

 

It's just laughable after the s**** we've endured that people can get so dismissive of the best we've had/can ever hope for.

 

Rafa is definitely due criticism...but nothing more.

 

Exactly! After all these years of watching absolute rubbush, throwing cup games, going months without a win under Pardew, John Carver reading out letters allegedly written by the club captain, Steve McClaren laughing after getting thumped 5-1 at Chelsea and so on, it's going to take more than a couple of defeats to dent my enthusiasm too much.

 

The managers I've mentioned weren't capable of getting things right, they simply weren't good enough. We now have one of the world's best managers at the helm. We need to give him our trust and our time safe in the knowledge rhat he will get it right.
