Mole_Toonfan Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 So why did he drop Gayle? That's probably real confidence boost for him. I suspect because we are away to Arsenal and he expects to be without the ball for long periods and thus picked Joselu as a horses for courses thing. I wouldn't have done it but the reasoning is understandable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistle17 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 So why did he drop Gayle? That's probably real confidence boost for him. Rafa has a rationale for everything. I don't think he would have named the team and simply blanked Gayle without giving him a reason. Imo he chose Joselu for set pieces defending and a target man for us from set pieces.

r0cafella Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Simple he dropped Gayle because he can’t outrun Kosclenly and he can’t hold the ball up rendering him even more limited than Joselu in this sort of game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darn that logic, always spoils a good chance for a rant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Wish people would stop treating Hardy like he's any different to any other Journo tbh, just because he wrote a book doesn't make him special. He's no different to Balague in that regard, before he wrote the book he was as clueless as any other journo and now we are supposed to take him seriously? nah he's a moron. Unless it comes from Caulkin ignore it. Did you read the book he wrote? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robster Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 If this takeover falls apart, say in the next two weeks, and we're stuck with Ashley, do we assume that he sacks Rafa immediately and brings in a Pulis type manager? Nope. Ashley will never pay him off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Rafa is doing a good job. The job of a manager is to get the most potential out of his team and he does that very well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Good to hear. Even if anyone genuinely thinks he's doing an absolutely shit job right now, giving him grief (or worse, sacking him) is literally the last thing we need at the moment.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Sorry, but when you write growing movement... he can fuck off. He’s backtracking because he’s been called out on his shit and although he understands Rafa and his methods like Balague did and has wrote a book, I seriously doubt he has his ear etc. Another gobshite!

Are they? Don't see much on their very rough report on today's game. I have noticed they've been very miserable and pessimistic in regards to the takeover though.
