Ive not been on here for a while, due to idiotic posts but i'll not go into that ... Old ground n'all
But, to see a lot of people moaning about Rafa, then lovingvhim etc, has got me posting this. In my my mind Rafa is a terrific coach and i'm over the moon we have him and don't want him to go but in a case of contradicting my self a number of times in a post here it goes:
At times his team selection is baffling, his subs are awful, his man-management of certain players '' looks '' atrocious with dropping keepers, messing mitro about, dropping players after a mistake .. Seems like its going to hinder a player not being shown trust etc ... Surely some of the players cant enjoy playing for him.
I understand he hasn't been able to get the players he wanted in etc but my god come on, this is a results business and if this was Pardew, Mclaren, Carver or any body else we'd all be baying for blood fr the type of football being played. Lots of people say no footballers are bigger than a football club ... So why should a manager ?
Lets be honest the football isnt great is it ? Its terrible to watch, and at the start of the season was prepared for that, i was prepared to eventually have a team that was hard to break to down ... Which seen teams such as West Brom, Stoke, etc win plaudits.
But we cant even do that now.
He been a top manager at other clubs because he had the players ... hes got about 5 players here the rest just are not good enough
I'm just stuck at the minute, because i know having Rafa as manager is for the best of the club, i just feel he is doing some really strange things. Given a bit of money and his players in that he has faith in i'm sure we will/should be ok.
Im merely just saying i understand why the people not happy with him are on about, as i feel the same ... but also feel that hes the best man for us and given him what he needs/wants etc will be benefitcial for the club and things will be ok.
