Tsunami Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 We went more route one after Joselu went off, very strange. They were a big side defensively and the changes played straight into their hands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinitely Content Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 have him manage the team on matchday from a bunker on the Wirral imo I really love the guy, but I think he should stay at home on matchdays. Is this because of his subs or something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
persy Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Yeah, I just felt really frustrated after the game.. but i really dont like his subs. Ofcourse i want him to manage our team at games.. I just cant understand why he persists with playing Joselu when he clearly needs some rest or something.. I get that he doesnt trust mitro, but he really need to put him on in games like this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that he doesnt trust mitro, but he really need to put him on in games like this I mostly agree with all of that mate, and I was very frustrated after the game too. He's certainly not immune from criticism and I'm sure he wouldn't claim to be so. He'll get it right I think, but little things like persisting with favourites is always going to backfire when you have a squad so limited in quality as we have.

persy Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Exactly, and I feel that if his "stubborness" (is that even a word? Im not english) with playing his "favourites" players make us lose games. We have all the right in the world to critisise his desicions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonjam88 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 We were going route one before Joselu went off. I just couldn't understand sticking 2 small blokes up front with the subs. Mitro was ideal for this game to come on. It was a terrible game between 2 terrible teams today. First half they were there for the taking. We need this takeover to happen otherwise we are in deep shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't get everything right, but ffs we're midtable with easily one of the worst squads in the league. People need to realise how bad we are and how little Rafa has to work with (and how insanely lucky we are to have him) He's been let down with funds that's without a doubt but 8 of the starters he bought, and two who came on he also bought. Not his first choices obviously but still players he identified. I think what frustrates more is the lack of real fluidity, it's boils down to whether that bothers you. I mean Brighton and Huddersfield play more attractive football imo but I'm not sure they'll finish above us (we need a striker badly next window or we're in for very tough time going into the new year). To be honest i don't really care as long as we have 3 teams below us by the end, and we are bought out in the meantime and the new owners go on to fund Rafa properly. Give him proper money and we'll be much better and play much better stuff, saying that though he's made some baffling choices tactically and in team selections, then again don't all managers though.

toontenacity Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Rafa is a genius and the best thing to happen to this club in years. Could and should be managing a champions league club.

steve_69 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 The game should’ve been out of sight in the first half. Rafa got his tactics and game plan spot-on as usual but the players weren’t clinical enough and then the officials robbed us of a legitimate goal. To criticise Rafa after that is bullshit! It’s typical knee jerk stuff to say he should’ve done this or he should’ve played this guy. We have a world class manager who knows better than the lot of us. He was just as let down as we were by the players he selected and I’m sure he’ll react. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonjam88 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I'm not criticising Rafa far from it without him here we would be in a much worse poisition. I just couldn't understand taking Joselu off and replacing him with Perez. I thought it played into their hands a bit. We are all human even Rafa. I think he has been getting 110% out of the current squad of players but even Rafa isn't a magician and without investment in January I think we will struggle. Only way I see investment happening is if Ashley is gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was just as let down as we were by the players he selected and I’m sure he’ll react. He was talking about a reaction from the Burnley game. Either the players don't have it in them or the manager isn't reacting enough with his team selection. Major concern now in what he spent in the last window. Joselu, Manqullio & Murphy have been pointless signings bringing nothing to the table. We could have had one player who made a difference, instead we've now got another 3 players we need to shift if we are to move forward. (I'll include Murphy in that as no one would pay half what we did right now and it will be loans out before we see anything back on him as i don't think he will be ready in the next 2 seasons for a place in this dire team) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
