Hard to remember major occasions but used to frequently talk about how Rafa would fix things in game. We’d often improve in the second half. A random example that springs to mind was West Ham at home. Antonio was a winger then and was free all game in the first 30 mins or so right in front of where we were sat - Rafa was on the touchline waving his arms around and after than spell he never got in again. I still think he’s got unfinished business here despite loving Howe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted Tuesday at 17:37 Share Posted Tuesday at 17:37 Quote Isak has consistently been linked with other clubs, including Arsenal, Liverpool, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain. “We have that ambition to be a top club, so there is a sense of annoyance because we’re almost seen as that next category down, so it’s free game to talk about our players.” What if those players express a desire to leave? “The reality is all of our players are under long-term deals,” he repeated. “They’re committed to the club. We’re not looking to move any player on.” My fucking chairman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
