TRon Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Tactically spot on imo. Should have been something like 4-2 on big chances. He knows how to spot a defender and get a lot out of them as well like, Christ. Lejeune, Schar, Fernandez would walk into most of the NUFC teams I've seen over the years. Aye, he's picked up three top defenders there for virtually nowt in today's market. Merino would have been some player as well this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 He’s so fucking calm. Never panics, even when we’re absolutely shite. Throw him all the cash he wants you fat cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Made some great decisions today I thought. Three subs were spot on in personnel and timing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robster Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Love the glasses removal. does he just not care about seeing properly once the match is over or summit? I'm mesmerized by that tweet. The movement from glasses in pocket to hand shake is so seamless, it's like a magicians slight of hand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Was worried about his subs but bringing Atsu on really helped stretch them back again. Don’t change the winning team, Rafa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgk_lfc Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 The champions league winning team was mainly houllier's team tbh with a few additions like Luis Garcia. That CL is singularly the greatest managerial achievement I had the privilege of following in the last 20 years. Everyone focuses on the final but he was pulling rabbits out the hat every single game. Look at the Juve vs LFC squad in the quarter-final. Look at our subs and Juve was managed by Capello (who is no mug). Juventus: 1-Gianluigi Buffon; 21-Lilian Thuram, 4-Paolo Montero, 28-Fabio Cannavaro; 16-Mauro Camoranesi, 8-Emerson, 11-Pavel Nedved, 24-Ruben Olivera, 19-Gianluca Zambrotta; 9-Zlatan Ibrahimovic, 10-Alessandro Del Piero © Liverpool: 1-Jerzy Dudek; 3-Steve Finnan, 4-Sami Hyypia ©, 23-Jamie Carragher, 21-Djimi Traore; 18-Antonio Nunez, 25-Igor Biscan, 14-Xabi Alonso, 6-John Arne Riise; 10-Luis Garcia, 5-Milan Baros. Subs: Carson, Cisse, Smicer, Le Tallec, Warnock, Welsh, Potter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Don't really want to dwell on negatives after a positive performance but I hate how every defending corner seems to be absolute panic stations at the back. I know Antia has a lot of input with them but any corner that passes our man at the front post just seems an absolute free-for all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgk_lfc Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Having said that, I think if he manages to keep Newcastle up ( which I am confident he will) this season, it will probably be his greatest achievement. He has pulled out magical victories at other clubs but this is the first where the owner is actively trying to sabotage progress made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
