Spot on tactics by Rafa benitez

We gave them a match and we could have snuck a draw. We tried to attack; unfortunately most of our players are shyte.

Attack for 90 mins? With Ki in midfield?

I'm not talking about attacking for 90 minutes.
I'm talking about having a go for 90 plus minutes instead of just spending most of the game just sitting back and being cannon fodder.
Only Dubravka and last gasp interventions kept the score down.

It's embarrassing.

Empty words from you again. Having a go? Part of having a go is to be well-structured and organised in defence, and to attack when the chance is there. If we hadn't spent a large chunk of the game working on keeping them from scoring, we would have been beaten 9-2. But I suppose you'd prefer that cause that would mean 'having a go'?

Have you ever played football, or managed a football side in your life.

[ex_pat_magpie]

Agreed.

And bar a 30 yard screamer i think we'd of got something.

Once the Arsenal game is over we can at least start our season properly.

If we play as well against Arsenal as we did against Citeh then we will deserve to come away with something from that game.

Good grief. . . Ghost disagrees.

I'm shocked, absolutely shocked.

His tactics would have been to get howked 6 - 0 !

.. Those days have faded tbh. But you can cling on to them; I won't judge you on that .. I'm not bitter in the slightest. I tell it as I see it even if that, unfortunately, means that I have to give you lot a complement on occasion ..
