That Liverpool team he took to 2 Champions league finals had no business being there, they were sh!te but his brand of football is proven to work, even if it ain't pretty.

Make no mistake, we are a Championship team that didn't invest in the summer properly. What do you expect from us at this level? Do you think the other promoted teams are any less defensive? His hands are tied behind his back because of idiots upstairs. If he was allowed to get the striker and midfielder he wanted, we would have put that game to bed by half time.

I'll agree with you that he is headstrong which is annoying because Mitrovic should have played, he made a mistake there, but at the same time I'm happy that he is sending a message......'if you are indisciplined and untrustworthy you don't play'. Obviously Mitrovic has toffee for brains because what does he go and do when Rafa gave him a chance again.......well i think you watched the West Ham game.

Absolute mistake to want Rafa out. The word Self-harm comes to mind.
he hasnt made any team perform above their expectations
