    nope i have said if we tried to play against them and lost by 6 i wouldnt have complained

    what i am complaining about is we didnt try and could easily have been 3-4 down at half time
    and then i would have moaned as we simply didnt try

    i praised the effort for the west ham game and the attacking we did

    we arent that bad going forward
    we have taken the lead in several games

    what we cant do is what everyone keeps telling me rafa is great at sorting which is defend

    im honestly beginning to feel rfa cant sort the defence out without 11 behind the ball

    and cant get a team to play some kind of offensive footy whilst defending

    if we had lost 6-0 giving it a go and contributing something to the game i would not have moaned many have been taken apart by them and teams a lot better than us
    there would be no embarrassment in that

    what was embarrasing is the way we played from the start

    if it had been a boxing match the ref would have stopped the fight as we offered no punches

    if we had thrown a few he would have let the fight go on

    many of our fans made their minds up on the outcome and went long before the end

    You complain about everything Pboro.

    So 100% you'd of complained about us losing 0-6. No chance at all you'd of praised trying.

    One thing's for sure-we have to attack Brighton. We can't afford not to win this one.

    So if we had lost 6-0 giving it a go then got relegated on goal difference you would feel justified in accepting that.

    On the other hand had Rafa saved us from relegation by that result then by nature of your post you would be unhappy.

    Whats Saivet done to upset Benitez ? he had a great game after his early mistake against West ham yet nowhere to be seen v man city and now today, Oh maybe he has got a bad back as well Mbemba was our best defender on boxing day but dropped again what a shock.

    if we have rafa in position and we go down i wouldnt blame him for conceding 6 against city
    i would blame him for not winning games at home to the klikes of brighton
