Figures 1-0 Football Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 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. Gayle, Joselu and Shelvey are supposedly 3 of our better players and they are all rejects from other relegation threatened sides ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I sometimes wonder if and when he takes us down if people will be banging on about how great the relegation was under Rafa, and that we should be over the moon we got relegated on 37 points and not 33 points because of his footballing acumen. Some people are so desperate to believe our big name manager is working miracles that they can't see whats in front of their eyes, bloke can do no wrong. I love the bloke and what his arrival did to reunite the club but I don't think its out of turn to say his managerial performance has been a bit underwhelming this season, and that hes not done too well with the 45 million he spent in the summer.

Some people are so desperate to believe our big name manager is working miracles that they can't see whats in front of their eyes, bloke can do no wrong. I’d imagine people will bemoan the lack of investment, which would ultimately be the cause of our relegation. Which miss from the games against Palace, Brighton, Swansea, Burnley etc. were the fault of Rafa? If we had a credible striker in, we’d easily have 5-8 more points and be comfortably safe - we’ve dominated games and had enough chances to win them two times over, it’s not Rafa’s fault he’s been left to mow a lawn with a pair of tweezers.

HaydnNUFC Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 We should've also won at Southampton. Had numerous chances, hit the post, had a goal wrongly disallowed against Bournemouth. Had golden opportunities against Swansea, Burnley, Everton. Should've really gotten a point at Huddersfield. Say we actually had invested in a striker that Rafa wanted who took those chances. That's 13 points we've missed out on. Blaming Rafa is f***ing daft, man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the bloke and what his arrival did to reunite the club but I don't think its out of turn to say his managerial performance has been a bit underwhelming this season, and that hes not done too well with the 45 million he spent in the summer. He isn't infallible in footballing terms by any means. He makes mistakes and he's the first to know when he's made a mistake. He is infallible however in terms of his leadership, character and integrity. I'd sooner go down with him in charge, get bought out in the summer and kick on from there than replacing him now with some run-of-the-mill mug on a short term appointment that keeps us up. Also, we needed a squad in the summer and 45M is nothing these days when you need to bring 6 or 7 in. I'm sure he was promised more money anyway and never got it (keeper, striker, 10). I think people are still reeling from the Kinnear/Pardew/Carver/McLaren debacle, and to have a man of his stature leading the club is some kind of elixir on healing wounds, especially that he's pretty much the only positive selling point we have at the moment.

Guest firetotheworks Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I sometimes wonder if and when he takes us down if people will be banging on about how great the relegation was under Rafa, and that we should be over the moon we got relegated on 37 points and not 33 points because of his footballing acumen. More likely that people will sympathise that he fought the good fight, because it doesn't take a great deal of footballing acumen to understand that the quality of the players we've got is nowhere near good enough for this league. Some people are so desperate to believe our big name manager is working miracles that they can't see whats in front of their eyes, bloke can do no wrong. What makes you think people are desperate, rather than just seeing things as they see them? I love the bloke and what his arrival did to reunite the club but I don't think its out of turn to say his managerial performance has been a bit underwhelming this season, and that hes not done too well with the 45 million he spent in the summer. The £45m? Could have sworn it was around £37m gross and £20m net, like. Also could have sworn that his targets, Abraham, Caballero, among others were all not signed because the club sat on its arse and did fuck all after he'd given them the list. If Manquillo, Joselu etc were high up his list of wanted players, I'd say that it's a fair point to criticise the signings, but I very much doubt that that's the case.

Kanj Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Had to settle to buy Joselu, Manquillo, no new GK after the club fucked about with this lined up targets well within MA's shit budget. Forced to literally only spend what was physically in the bank account while other teams used whatever means necessary to spend the TV money, using whatever bank/cash facilities they had access to like normal run football clubs, lied to about budget over and over and over....and HE's doing an underwhelming job? Get a fucking grip dude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 According to transfermarkt, only one of our players in our entire squad is worth more than £10m in the current market. That player? Islam Slimani who arrived less than a week ago, hasn’t played a game for us and isn’t even owned by us. We’re going through a PL season with a pitiful squad, Rafa has done a remarkable job so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
