    I'm a Rafa fan. I think he was very much hindered by what he was allowed to spend in the summer and so filled the squad with what he could. I don't agree with all his selections but I can understand in a different way...

    I'm not involved with football, but I have managed various establishments all over the world for 15 years or so.

    I'm going to Base this anology on my current pub in London.

    Quality not quantity. I have 10 front of house staff. Only myself, my supervisor and my team leader are any good. We have to compensate for the others whilst doing our own jobs.

    If I could bring in two more supervisors that did their job perfectly to get rid of the rest of the idiots, would I do it? No! Because that would leave me low on bodies!

    Manquillo, was never supposed to play so much I'm sure! But he's been needed!

    Mbemba instead you say? Mitrovic instead of Joselu! Yes footballing wise, simply what I see on the pitch I agree!

    But I have members if staff loved by my customers, "you've got a good one there, Paul! " But they don't see how lazy they are, how unreliable they are, how they cause myself and the rest of the team to work harder/more often/ longer hours! How I can't get the most simplistic instruction to stick in their head!

    I can't pay my servers/ barstaff a lot so I get what I pay for and have to do my best!

    That's what Rafa is doing!

    Kind of!
