Mattoon Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Once we are mathematically safe, can we put a dunce avatar on a few of the telling-it-how-it-is posters?

samptime29 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 In the 13 games since Arsenal loss, only Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham and Liverpool have taken more points than our 20. Rafa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 You’ve got to hand it to him like. He’s managing this season, the players and the opposition like the great manager that he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Deserve massive credit for the recent displays. Our team looks fucking solid in every department. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 It still amuses me how unused to the concept of a manager actually improving his players I still am. It really shouldn't be this much of a surprise Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Rafa is the poster boy if you like of just what a good manager brings to a club, even a relegated one which we pretty much were when he took over or a newly promoted one which is what we are, a Championship team basically. He’s the glue that keeps us from cracking/breaking at every level on and off the stands. I’ve been critical at times this season and stupidly even wondered whether he was the man for us briefly (keeping us up (was mortal that night in my defence and immediately felt a complete tit not long after)), but again you have to hand it to him. He is the man. Now if only Ashley would sell up to someone who can match his ambition and give him the tools to truly turn us into something akin to what he has shown constantly he can build - a top and successful team.

samptime29 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 The response to our shite run has been absolute class. The Brighton, Swansea, Burnley home games were annoying at that time - but we kept picking up points. Then we win our next 3 homes games, and we're unbeaten at home in 6. Rafa's clearly done really well this season. Hope we finish the season strong! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 They were talking about Huddersfield and about to move on, but one of em jumped in, saying that Benitez securing our survival in the second half of the season (in the context of having gone nine without a win, takeover collapse, no money in January), is one of the best managerial achievements of the season.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Following on from my Pardle posts on the Monday Night Club, they quickly discussed us just before it finished at 9. For all the shite Sutton and Wright spouted beforehand, they backed Rory Smith from the New York Times who said we're where we are because of Rafa. Smith's obviously watched us and gave mention to dropping Diame back which has helped Shelvey and also the fact Dummett and Lascelles have progressed because of Rafa. Smith was also massively sympathetic towards Rafa being shafted by Ashley re: Abraham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Someone at the weekend said taking NUFC up and keeping us up would be huge on Rafa’s CV, despite what he has done and won in the past, basically saying intelligent football people be it other managers or pundits etc. would look at that and think aye, that’s a huge achievement. Who was it? It be gutted if it was Merson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Aye I remember hearing someone say that. Think it might have been on football focus. Maybe even Lawro? Or Osman? I genuinely think him making Lascelles our skipper is arguably one of his best ever managerial decisions, certainly long term one's. Likewise, Lascelles decision to boot off with our lot has made his career. Think it's a valuable lesson for any young bairn. Stand up for yourself and what you believe in, show respect and you can make the world a better place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Really complimentary about him on The Ramble's latest episode. Basically said that other managers should use Rafa's tactics as a blueprint to keep a team in the Premier Legaue Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
