TheDonis Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Too late, he's already done the damage. Yeah, got you promoted at the first opportunity and really fucked you over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimpy474 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Reason there is lack of trust between him and the hierarchy is because of the money he wasted 2 summers ago. Last summer he wasted money too. This team is getting relegated. We went up, I'd say he wasted not a lot. I get we bought some dross but the aim was to go up and we did, this league is where the money is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 There are questions on recruitment, but it wouldn't surprise me if there is significantly less infrastructure in place to properly scout, and then some mad rules about what agents to use etc and then on top of that a dimwit negotiating that puts off all the other players who may sign anyway. Lot of cooks in our awful transfer policy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 He's f***ed us. I don't care how restricted we were, the money he spent, he f***ing wasted. Awful in the market. And now playing some desperate defensive stuff at home. Working with absolute scraps, not given the money he was told he would have and club wouldn't pay agents fees or wages. He's made some awful signings, but there is some context to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 We've bought some rubbish players but we'd have to see him under a real owner before we say it's his fault that we got some duds. I doubt these were his first, second or even third choices in a lot of cases. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 If he'd been allowed to sign Townsend, Mccarthy, Caballero, Abraham and whoever else he had sorted - I feel like we'd be in a slightly better position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 No idea why he's not been packing our midfield for weeks. Ever since Burnley we've been atrociously open, largely playing 4-4-2. Why would you bother doing it against a very good counter-attacking side? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, he clearly didn't get who he wanted. Still he has been having a poor run of tactics. Really baffled by his tactics of late, needs to change, but should have changed weeks and weeks ago.

Big Geordie Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Deserves some criticism today, by continually picking players who just aren't performing (for whatever reason) That said, there is only so much he can do with what he has. Ashley fucked him over good and proper in the summer - and it's laid bare for all to see. 1 win in 11 games now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 The players have to take full responsibility for that. No instruction Rafa can give them to stop them being so bereft of confidence in themselves and making silly fucking mistakes. Really feel for the manager and coaches more than ever toay. Some serious work needs to be done by a lot of those players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 There's no doubting his accountability for the rot, but he isn't the reason we don't have a squad fit for purpose. Tactical mishaps are amplified when there's such a lack of quality in the side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Yeah he's in a tough spot, there's no B-team in reserve that can fill the gaps. But they need to step up seriously. Rafa needs to change tack because his usual has stopped working. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I ts always someone elses fault. When's he taking some responsibility for what he does all week? The fact he doesn't have a PL squad to work with? Correct. Is he making the most of it what he's got? Probably not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
