Stottie Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Didn't mention the Young handball in his interview, which he had a right to, but otherwise took it on the chin. Just mentioned our missed chances. Didn't rise to the "you were more attacking than in other matches" bait either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Rafa, how many defeats will it take for you to actually think.....you know what, this team can't keep a clean sheet, maybe we shouldn't just park the bus and bore the fans to death......Maybe, just maybe we should go out and attack a bit more? Just a thought........still love ya......but its getting a bit boring.......spice it up did you watch the game at all? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AY Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I think he should have brought a 3rd cb or Hayden to help defence at hour mark. We were getting badly overrun and didnt have a threat on the counter. Atsu was a horrible sub. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimpy474 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 How about the ref giving us the stonewall penalty he wasn't even looking at, literally the one thing he's meant to do which would have killed the game at 3-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 From what I saw of the first half we played really well, but I predicted what would happen after the break and was sadly right, in how we would play and them coming back and going on to win.

Nah. We would have just lost 4-3 then and it would have been even more desperate today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsprillasShinPad Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Have to be 100% behind him like. From a constructive viewpoint alone, who else would improve our situation? No one would. He is absolutely the best we could hope for with the FCB in charge. If/when he goes we can fully expect some thundercunt like Wise replacing him, so don't wish him away. The problem is with our squad. Trying to get a functioning PL team with the players we have is impossible. It's like trying to make a car with only one wheel and no engine. He's on a hiding to nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought........still love ya......but its getting a bit boring.......spice it up did you watch the game at all? Actually no but I imagine in the 2nd half, we dropped deeper and deeper and defended for our lives. We were so galant but unfortunately they scored 3 goals and we came away with no points.........again. Just saying, Rafa instinct is to hit on the break, get a goal and shut up shop. Unfortunately the team can shut up shop and so what happens is we end of losing. Now the double trouble for Rafa is that he no strikers that can get a goal back. I think that means that NUFC is screwed! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said it before but not having Kenedy was huge, we had no release basically. We weren't any deeper in the second half than the first, they just massively overwhelmed us. I don't think bringing on a CB changes that this is how i saw it as well, i think a lot of people default to the deeper option when one team gets massively overwhelmed as happened yesterday - both things can be true of course but in this instance we didn't intentionally sit back, and that's the point really...if we had we might have prevented them scoring 3 goals as very few teams put 3 past us under rafa captain hindsight and all that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 He's a known fan of the mackems, but on the Guardian podcast, when asked what Aston Villa should do now, Barry Glendenning's answer was "go all out to get Rafa Benitez". Wind-up or not, I'm sure the idea will have occurred or will soon be occurring to people with better-funded football "projects" to give him. Re: the Man U game, Alex Hurst on the tf podcast said that he thought Shelvey and Diame looked knackered at the end of the first half. I didn't notice it myself, but that's the kind of thing you would pick up more in the ground than watching on tv. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I'm at the stage now where I would be fine with Rafa leaving us for a lower league, under performing, stand closing, cabbage throwing club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
