Spot on tactics by Rafa benitez

[ex_pat_magpie]

Tell me why other teams get something from games by having a go.
Football players are paid millions of pounds per year on top of their cost to buy.

No paying fan should be treated to that garbage no matter what excuses are made for supposed lack of quality.
The squad is capable of having a go but Rafa chooses to allow the elites to use us as cannon fodder.

There's no excuse for it at all.

If we were in league one in a cup against Man City I'd understand the tactics of yesterday.
It's a disgrace.

I feel sorry for the players having to play that sickening garbage football.

I'll put is simply for you Ghost. Just look at Chelsea's, Citeh's and Spuds results this season against other teams.

It's not rocket science. They all have top players and we do not and never will with this owner.

wolves attacked and got a point
rafa didnt get it right as we lost
rafa is afraid of loosing

he is worried about his own reputation
well he is now by a long waty our worst prem manager

52 games and about an 18 % win ration

he is ****e
his players play in handcuffs
the opposition know they can attack at will

they all know what rafa will do

there are no surprises from this rafa side

he has no plan b

he has no other tactic than defend

so no he didnt get the tactics right

AS Shearer said on MOTD Rafa hasn't changed from last season, his tactics will be the same as last season. He will set the team up depending on who the opposition are, and that's the sensible way to do it. Hes a world class manager who miraculously got a very average team to 10th last season, using the very same philosophy, so I am happy with that. Trust in Rafa HE KNOWS WHAT HES DOING

A manager makes top players, if he's decent.
A decent manager can set up a team to take on anybody and give them a game if he's got the balls to do that.

There's no excuse for the negative way we play against any team.
There is no reason why we can't play a balanced set up that affords everything required to win a game or lose trying because that's the game in itself, win lose and draw...but playing the right way.


Hand Rafa as much money as you want and he'll still isolate a striker.

Like he did with Torres? Try and talk some sense, man. You're rambling.

It's just the standard have a go at Rafa.

Had we attacked like they apparently want and got hammered 6-0, we'd have threads up about how Rafa is suppose to be a defensive manager but look at the way his defensive tactics didn't work.
