They do it on purpose. Ignore them.

 

It's the radio equivalent of clickbait. Adrian Durham is an utter w***** though so it's only to be expected.

 

adrian durham is a wanker, but to his credit he did side with the fans during the sackpardew days.

They don't really have any opinions. It'll have been that because whoever else was on will have been against sackpardew.

Rafa actually should be credited to be able to build a solid defence line within very limited budget.  We just give Huddersfield one clear chance and get punished.  Other than that we are fine.  Yedlin Clark both come at very cheap cost and Lejuene looks like a gem.  And we still have Dummett Lascelles and Manquillos that all can do a job.  It is fair to say we have the best defence among our relegation rivals, even if our gk is s***.  Rafa deserves huge credit for this.

 

The other side of the story, however, is that the players aren't good at building up plays in top level.  They are good at counters.  We look a lot more dangerous vs Spurs because that's what we are good at.  We aren't a team that is good at building up plays because we lack good attacking full backs, Hayden aren't technically good enough and most importantly, Gayle is not this type of forward.  However, Rafa is brave / arrogant enough to try to play like a technically superior team, away versus Huddersfield, and that's when the no.10 problem got exposed.  In a way, Rafa should be praised to try to have a go, but it is a failed experiment.  However, to play like a strong team and dominate the game is not his priority.  Solid defence and counter is.  That's why he didn't spend his money on no.10 because at worst we can just go defensive every game from now on and no.10 is useless.

 

In a way, Rafa is similar to Jose.  Defensive first, attack second.  Full back has to be pacy and not get exposed, and there must be two defensive midfielder to cover the space in the middle.

 

Eh? He didn't have a go! He sat 10 behind the ball and we hoofed it.

No, he did try to have a go by playing on the deck at first half.  That's why it is a complete failure.  Those aren't hoof, those are clearance under pressure, which is even worse.

Been criticized by Carragher for the leaking of behind the scenes discontent news to press which has removed the buzz about what is usually around a newly promoted club, and that is gone.

 

It's Ashley that needs to be criticized; Rafa feels that he has to leak stuff to the press to get s*** done. He's leaking it because he's been lied to: by Ashley, and he wants those promises kept.

 

Carragher should've just replaced 'Rafa' with 'Ashley' and he would've been bang on the money.

Looks like the media have sided with Ashley, I wonder if "Craigy" had out to do with it.

 

Or Keith Bishop.  Wouldn't surprise me if some people are being paid backhanders to put across Ashley's propaganda.

Carra can f*** off.

Thought he was alright tbh despite the made up funny language he speaks as he's called out Ashley before. Can fuck off now, though.
