Yesterday was an all-too familiar story. Trying to keep it tight, trying to stay in the game, hoping our front 'two' can get something. It's not working, mainly because our players aren't good enough, particularly the ones tasked with scoring. So what do we do? Do we stick to Rafa's tried and tested formula and hope it comes good? I think, with this group of players, it might be a bridge too far. We need to be more adventurous, get more players forward to either try and create more chances for our strikers who need a larger number of chances to score such is their poor chance conversion rate or to allow the midfield to be on the end of chances.

I read a good analogy on F365 which compared Rafa with "a Michelin-starred chef who has gone onto Ready Steady Cook with a specific plan and opted to follow through with it despite getting none of the ingredients he had hoped for."

If we get nothing at Man U then it'll be a fifth of the season gone without a win and with only two points. Something has to change.

I know a couple (well, 3 I can think of) on here want that change to be the manager. I don't-if anyone can get us out of this it's Rafa. What I would like to see is him being a bit more flexible in his approach to games. Maybe not Man U away but Brighton at home is one where we need to start taking the game to teams (to the best of our limited players' abilities, obviously). Unless, of course, you believe that the players we have are so bad that not even a change in style/formation/tactics would make a difference.

7 games in and winless...something has to change-does part of this include Rafa's approach?

Thoughts?
