Rafa Benítez (now unemployed)


Recommended Posts

Question for the Rafa haters.......given our spend in the Summer, and the 'quality' of our squad, where did you expect us to finish in the league this season?

 

I did expect us to be around the bottom 6 granted but its the nature of the tactics and performances that is the main gripe and dislike of the situation. Wagner and Hughton at least have a go at teams. Its as if we are s*** scared of the teams in this division

 

Eh? Brighton were set up to defend against us and hit on the break. :lol:

Did you see how Brighton set up today? :lol:

 

Like f*** is Hughton "having a go" at teams this season.

 

They’re the away team you expect that though. You don’t expect that from the home team but we are every single time.

Brighton have won 2 of their last 11 and scored 3 on only 2 occasion this season (West Ham and West Brom). Really having a go.

and yet look at us vs Man United and West Ham away, hitting teams on the counter. If teams sit back, like Brighton did today, they've got the beating of us because, you guessed it, our players aren't good enough. Attack us and we have more of a chance.

The way they set up is similar to us and has been all season. I'm refuting his point that Hughton is "having a go" at teams this season, when he just isn't.

At home they certainly have more of a go than we do though or they certainly have in the games I have seen.

Brighton were more progressive than us in the first half and must have had more possesion than us. We got deeper and deeper as the first half went on.

They set up like this in the game at the Amex when they beat us 1-0. Have struggled past Watford at home 1-0 and Burnley 0-0 in recent weeks. Must've "had a go" at Liverpool though, seeing as they got dicked 1-5.

But at least it was probably an honour to be dicked 1-5.

Could say the same for us in the second half. They came for a point today. They got it due to our lack of quality.

Was this the 0-0 at home to Palace? Or the 0-0 at home to Burnley? The 1-1 with Soton maybe? Ah no it'll be the 1-1 with Everton and if not that, surely the 2-2 with Stoke.

Brighton 0-2 Man City Match Report

 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40835422

 

Cautious Brighton unable to shine

A rousing atmosphere greeted the Brighton players at a packed stadium but Chris Hughton's side, which included five new signings, had little opportunity to show what they could do.

 

It was just their discipline and work-rate on show for the first hour or so, when they often had 10 men behind the ball.

 

Up front, Tomer Hemed and Pascal Gross had a thankless task of chasing and harrying, without a sight of goal.

 

That second-half spell, when City wobbled but held out under pressure, brought an amazing response from the home fans and perhaps demonstrated what might have been possible had Brighton showed more ambition on their big day against a side playing a new system.

 

Chris Hughton's cautious approach came within 20 minutes of earning a point against a team with much greater talent and resources but could not quite get the job done - in the end, it was City who did that.

 

If ever there's was a time to 'have a go' it's after the new promotion bounce against a newly assembled team in a new system...we had an excuse in that we were trying to stop a team who'd been thumping everyone left, right & centre.

Define 'progressive'. They kept the ball nicely but created nothing through open play. As poor as we were going forward, we had the better of the chances in either half.
