They'll back him with money though, and he feels he owes them after agreeing to takeover there and then asking if it was OK to take the Real Madrid job instead. They apparently to their credit said of course, the Real Madrid job is something Rafa couldn't turn down and they didn't stand in his way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Rafa is not working miracles man, if anything his performance this season has been underwhelming, our team isn't THAT much worse than most in the bottom half yet we should all be really grateful we're deeply embroiled in a relegation battle while the bulk of the money he spent in the summer is sat on the bench because they aren't good enough or he doesn't trust them. I want the bloke to succeed here but regardless of not being fully backed he should still be doing a bit better IMO, particularly in how we approach games at home and when we're 1-0 ahead. Would be happy for him to prove me wrong and would happily take the pelters that come with this but I don't have the faith he has it in him to keep us up or that having a capable goalscorer in Slimani will make a big enough difference to outweigh the negative tactics he uses in most games.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 It’s almost as if he’s not one of the best managers in the world working with a bunch of random championship players. I don’t see how he should be doing better. No respectable GK, no decent striker, no #10, maybe one acceptable PL midfielder. Paul Dummett is our best LB. I’d love to know where this team would be expected to finish under another manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Thought experiment; Rafa with the 11-12 squad, where would we have ended up? Probably the same, maybe even a place or two lower. We'd have also been top 8-10 the following season though rather than fighting relegation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pardew always used the EL as an excuse for embarrassing performances in the Premier League which Ashley presumably bought, despite the joke summer window we had. Bringing in only Anita, Amalfitano and Bigirimana for an extra 12 games in the season man. Love European nights man, so hope we're back there under Rafa soon.

This is Mike Ashley's thought pattern. If we open up with this team we'll get destroyed every week. Hard to comprehend people can't see this properly like. We've been good enough and made enough chances to win plenty of games this season but we've been let down by our strikers and keepers so often it's incredible.

Someone else says it on here as well, the fact our goal difference is as good as it is shows the long game Rafa is playing this season, he's known all along how tight it was likely to be and getting dicked 4-0 every week would have killed us on numerous levels.

We've been good enough and made enough chances to win plenty of games this season but we've been let down by our strikers and keepers so often it's incredible. That's why the complaints are generally quite vague and the ones making the argument can never walk you through how it would work. Throwing people forward would be great if they could still be in defensive shape when we inevitably get caught on the break. Then you'd have to score with the shit strikers when we pile forward as well obviously. That's the logic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
