    He and Alf Ramsey got a different footballer out of Jack Charlton though.

    to be fare i would say proabaly only 1 maybe two players have shown an increase in performance
    lascelles and elliott

    now some will then say that what he is working with isnt all that ,
    he has fizzy players (clearly over 70 % of the team are prem players or players brought for the prem )

    well to that i would say even if they were fizzy players surely we should see a major increase in players performances under a world class manager such as rafa (if that is what you think he is)

    now someone like jose ,goes into manure where the players are of a higher level and performing at an already high level
    to try an get more out of them is hard yet he has done it

    yet rafa cant get a consitent performance out of any of his players and certainly not a major increase in performance

    like tuning a racing car

    a good mechanic will struggle to get more out of a mclaren than he would a mondeo

    purely because you have more to work on to get more performance

    so if rafa is that good why are we still making excuses for him in saying the players he has are fizzy standard

    im not saying the mondeo will ever be as quick as the mclaren

    but you would certainly see a significant differance
    seriously can't be ar$ed to read that block of text. Do you seriously have this much time on your hands? Nothing better to do with your time other than push this Anti-Rafa agenda with essay after essay? I haven't even read the above as I know general contents and formula.

    Give it a rest man.

    What are you comparing the performance against?

    Last year we were facing Championship opposition, this year we are facing Prem teams... even the other teams that have been promoted have spent money that they would not have, on players that might have turned down a Fizzy team.

    I don’t think you can compare a season the Prem with a season in the Championship, and the fact we are sitting mid table is a pretty good start as far as I am concerned.
