Norseman Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 “Other managers have said, ‘You’re with the ‘keepers, get on with it’, but Rafa’s knowledge of the position, what he expects, has been great Great article. Love Rafa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainhaircut Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Poor Rafa, far far too good for this shit tip. Are our players much worse than Huddersfields? Some coaching on how to keep and pass the ball might be nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackandWhite Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 This man goes and we are 1,000,000% gone. He is strictly the only reason I believe we'll stay up. He goes that belief goes with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
U2 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I wouldn't begrudge him leaving. I'd happily reel-in my support of the club then until Ashley dies of that massive heart attack that must be around the corner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some coaching on how to keep and pass the ball might be nice. The passing and control was exceptionally bad. Needing to take those extra touches gave them so much time to close down. It was ridiculous. Too static. To what extent we can blame Rafa for it I don't know. It needs worked on. And has for about 15 years tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merino was the only one today i was comfortable with controlling the ball under pressure, i feel like some tough decisions need to be made around players who were reasons for our promotion last year.

Nonsense. Their three behind the striker was Ince, van la Parra and kachunga. Average as anything. Mooy was playing in Australia 2 years ago. They are coached to keep the ball and press when they don't have it. We are coached to sit off and I have no idea what we're coached to do when we have it. It would seem to be kick it away as soon as someone comes near us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafa's teams have never historically been bad on the ball. Don't get me wrong, the coaching plays a huge part, the way Hudds play takes a lot of work in training. That's just not the manager Rafa is though he never will be, he's not going to turn into a Klopp-lite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 It's the same issues as last year, the compact formation isn't necessarily a bad idea, but these players aren't good enough to make it work. The football was dreadful and the only time we got the ball wide for a cross was when Manquillo broke forward a couple of times. I don't like this playing with three centre backs for just that reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
