madras Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Rafa spends the entire game in the technical area, until we are defending set pieces then he sits down and the taller dark haired bloke get up. Today not so much, the technical area was often empty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Thought tactically he played it spot on, much more expansive. My one worry is that he wasn't in the technical area as much, almost as if to say "there you go, that's what you want, I want nowt to do with it" Nah.

I haven't seen the technical box empty so much since he came here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Is that not down to the fact that we absolutely bossed and controlled the game, there was no need to come out, shout instructions? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Is that not down to the fact that we absolutely bossed and controlled the game, there was no need to come out, shout instructions? That's what I think, he didn't have any reason to come out and try to manage the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

loki679 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Nar, Mick, he read a few posts on NO and decided to change his gameplan just to shut us up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was up most of the time towards the end of the game, he wasn't when we were all over them and had no reason to be. Even when we are all over teams, he's in that box.

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 As every week goes by I'm more baffled by some of his decisions, we have the strongest team in the league on paper and we consistently look poor, and when we don't like last night we can't kill teams off and we go negative and concede. Seems to be more interested in complaining to the fourth official most of the time. Hope to god he makes better decisions for us as a premier league manager.
