And there was me worrying about posting too negatively today.
last season was a bore we crawled over the line ...just after spending millions and having a supposably world class manager in the fizzy
this season has been a bore
rafa is meant to be world class and working to a master plan
and for those that have the ability to copy and paste actally think they know what his master plan is
he will sort the defence out they say
really !!!!!!!!!
he cant even defend agains the likes of burnley and other so called small teams
today he was given a lesson by a world class manager
last game he was gien a lesson by a young pup
rafa world class
my arse
if we loose to watford
which im hoping we wont
i just cant wait to hear the geordie nation turn on him
they will be turning the flags around and using them a badly spelt banners
im just gladthere are 3 worst teams (just ) than us
if i was spending 350 mill on a club id want a manager showing more progression than rafa
And there was me worrying about posting too negatively today.
what positives under rafa do we have
apart from a few flags and hoodwinked geordies trying to tellme he is what the club need really????
why
he had the biggest spend in the fizzy and prem players from the season before and we failed to impress
he had full rign of players in the last window and we look completly disjointed
in fact i have never seen our squad look so poor
and its his squad
we cant defend
we cant score we cant create
he has had 2 seasons with most of thes eplayers
he has lost the ability to manage in this modern game
he is getting seriously out witted by the majority of managers
what he needs is a magicians cape instead of his fat waiters suit and a wand in his hand in replacement of his finger that he seems to point around the pitch
because he isnt producing any magic what so ever
Perspective: Paul Pogba alone (£89m) cost more than our entire starting XI today! (£75m)
We held our own in the first half.
First team to score there in the league this season.
5 shots on target.... they had two more...
Typical of you to just see the negatives...
OK, I watched that game today expecting to be blown off the park by MU, but I was pleasantly surprised by the effort we put in before the break, had we gone in at 0 - 1 I would have been amazed. After they took us apart in the second half I was looking for someone to pin the blame on but I really couldn't think of anyone who had played particularly badly enough to have lost us the game. We are what we are, a team that has been grossly under invested in over the last decade by an owner and back room boys who don't know their arses from their elbows. F*ck me, what else could Rafa have done today apart from maybe starting Mitro but I don't think that would have made much difference. I think if Rafa is given the funds in January we will be fine come the end of the season then forge on to better things next season.
That's a very good post- no-one was horrendous and as GED pointed out, Pogba cost more than our entire starting 11.
Different playing field never mind not a level one.
Lejuenne and Manquillo were poor.
lascelles and merino were badly missed.
Yedlin and Shelvey were superb.
I wasn't too down afterwards.
pogba and lukaku cost the same as the sum total of our last 23 signings (every player from the last 5 transfer windows)
Watching MotD and some of the quality on display is frightening.
Gonna take Amanda a couple of transfer windows to catch up with that, like.
