joeyt Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Spent a helluva lot of time berating the 4th official tonight. Even went straight up to after half time before ko to make a point about something he must have reviewed on screen at half time. Think it was the targetting of Woodman from their corners Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest covmag Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Interesting https://www.transfermarkt.com/rafael-benitez/spielertransfers/trainer/1522/plus/0?station_id=2386 Excluding Torres and Higuiain Pretty crap really, tab on to us and fuck me what a load of shite. Not only are you completely wrong about his Liverpool signings, have you even bothered to see who he signed for Napoli? Do some research ffs. Rafa took a title winning Napoli side and got them to 5th , spending fortunes. Did you think he did a good job there? When did Napoli win the title? Apologies, meant Milan, treble winning side, how did that fair? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 He took Napoli to third in his first season, and the squad they have now, is basically his. So yeah I reckon he did a good job. Won trophies under him in '14 and '15. What a fraud. Even better when you think he did it with their title winning squad of 1990 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasper Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 So many great arguments in this thread tonight. Not. Fair enough. I get that some people might not like him or his style of play but I dont understand why you're trying to validate your opinion with some really dimwitted stuff.

Are you just going to cherry pick everything to suit your 'argument'? Your argument that he didn't achieve stuff at Inter, despite winning stuff at Napoli, Chelsea, Liverpool and Valencia. Your argument that apart from Torres and Higuain he's bought bad players, despite him signing literally loads of fantastic players. Your argument that there were some better players that were bought for less than Murphy but not listing plenty of signings which were more expensive than Murphy who have been poor players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Inter. Half a season. Didn't do great in the league. Won cup. Didn't appear to have backing. Balotelli sold in the summer. Asked his chairman to "back or sack" him. Got his wish. I'm curious as to the exact pattern of misfiring neurons that makes you think this is relevant to the current situation.

Guest neesy111 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Like all managers he signed some duffers but he wins trophies if he's given the tools, and right now he's trying to dig a tunnel to France with his bare hands. He is a fairly defensive manager, not sure why that's a surprise that's how he's always been, maybe defensive is the wrong word, cautious is probably better. But better player in his chosen system brings better football and better results. Aye sometimes he gets it wrong, again what manager doesn't, yet with the money he's been given or should that be money he's been denied ? He's gone beyond what i would have thought he could with this lot. He's not faultless but only one man is to blame for the shambles that we call our club now. I don't have an issue with how we are setup in the league etc, but when we play so bad against a team that's struggled in the last few months in the championship then I feel he has to take a chunk of responsibility for that.

wormy Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Is this the internet message board version of when the AIDS is no longer treatable? This fucking section these days. To think, I felt a bit bad for covmag when he was deemed the worst poster on the board in the match thread. Sums it up that ShinPad was the knight in shitey armour that jumped in to defend him.

Guest reefatoon Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 We all love the thought of Rafa and his pedigree, but it is all absolutely pointless with the watered down handicapped version we have. It’s not enjoyable for anyone on any sort of level. The football is as bad and dull as the shit churned out by prior twats like fat Sam and Souness but we all hang in hope that it’s Rafa and we will be ok. But what’s the point of having him when he can’t remotely do his job to the best of his ability. What it has resorted to is the dullest football we have had to witness in god knows how long. Starting to think we would be better off with some other duffer as at least then we would know we would be shit and not hoping for more. Like hoying a boxer in the ring with his arms tied behind his back. He needs to go so we can get back to being furious at the shit that is churned up.

Guest firetotheworks Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 You do all realise that Rafa doesn't have the same team that Allardyce and Souness had aye? You realise that with the amount of money that those two had he won the Champions League and the FA Cup? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You realise that with the amount of money that those two had he won the Champions League and the FA Cup? That’s exactly what I was saying. He hasn’t had anywhere near that kind of money to spend, so we have a watered down version of Rafa, which results in awful players and awful football. There is no point in having a manger with his pedigree to then handicap him. The whole thing is just depressing, including the utter shit football he resorts to having to play.

KaKa Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I don't understand how people can watch our current team and deem this to be Rafa's style of play. It is not his style of play. It is the players at his disposal. In order to stay in this league we have to be a more pragmatic side due to the the players we have. It shouldn't be so hard to understand this at all.
