Deuce Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Going forward, we look like a much better team away from home. Just like last year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Well this has papered over the Brighton game quite nicely. Enjoy the gloating lads But seriously, from my own perspective, I don't want Rafa out. I think he's a great manager, the best we could get today and probably for a long time to come. And people shouldn't overreact when posters take issue with his mistakes or when the team plays terribly - which they did versus Brighton. ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Loved that camera shot of him walking out from the tunnel after HT and then the camera zooming in on a woman behind him with a Rafa scarf, belting out his song Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Well this has papered over the Brighton game quite nicely.

And people shouldn't overreact when posters take issue with his mistakes or when the team plays terribly - which they did versus Brighton. It's all about context and works both ways. Both sides on here (myself included) go to the extreme. Given we had 5 straight home defeats before Brighton, the more I think about it the more I think Rafa just didn't want us to get beat. In most circumstances that's normally not really acceptable at SJP but this has set the base for today. I just hope we can push on now and beat Swansea at home next time out in the league.

Hanshithispantz Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 In all seriousness we've won 2 and drew 1 of the last 4. It was pretty obvious that the Brighton reaction was massively over the top and it wasn't a bad result at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 3 points off the top 10 with that squad. 4 points off a relegatuon olace (in the interests of balance) ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Ridiculous return so far with that squad. Just goes to show what he is capable of if he is backed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionOfGosforth Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Genius, pure genius. What we all think we think we know is bollocks to what he actually knows. Only 1 goal conceded in the past 3 games as well. Probably has a lot to do with Lascelles returning but I think it's safe to say the bloke has a clue like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 The man is a colossus. He clearly retains the confidence of all these players. It's a poor squad and the youngest in the division too. His reaction when we were denied a penalty was to calmly instruct the players back into position. In the circumstances that shows just how experienced and in control he is. So fortunate to have him at the club during this dire period of ownership.

Pilko Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Working miracles with a pile of what is largely very good Championship players and a few bottom half PL players. Great result. Brave to go with just Perez up top but clearly worked out that the pace of Atsu and Murphy, along with Ayoze's pressing would worry them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 We’ve not spent much time in the bottom three which is great psychologically for the team imo. Last 2 relegations we had spent a number of weeks in the bottom 3. The last time - it felt like we spent the whole season in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
