when will rafas plan start to work

[pboromag]

some armchairs seem to think that rafa is working to a plan
sorting the defence out blah de blah

some even think they are great tacticians and number threads from the kronikle

and try and tell us how the great rafa is working on the defencce
hence the dire negative footy

well isnt it about time it started to wrork
this great master plan that some think rafa has

im sure we have conceded in more games than we have kept a clean sheet
in fact from memory im sure we have only kept 2 maybe 3 clean sheets this season

yet again rafa was out thought by a young manager who doesnt get invited to best pals does and get voted in the top 10 influential managers awards

first half was 50 -50 second half they out thought us out witted us out played us and showed they could change as the game went on
under rafa

nothing


once they had worked us out they changed
at no point from then did rafa have the noce to get back on top

the boos at the ed of the game proved my point

are the match going fans turning ?????


the reason we have a negative goal differance is because we play negative footy
and we aint very good at doing that

I can't argue with any of that.
I know people will think it's a wind up but if Rafa carries this on I'm confident that many fans will simply turn.
The only thing Rafa has in his favour is the excuse that he didn't have the cash to spend. This is his get out of jail free card....but I'm not buying into it.

He bought attack minded players mostly and left out players that have potential to effect games in Mitro, etc.
Mitro might not be Aguero or the likes but he can win you games if played to his strengths.
Rafa doesn't do attacking strengths and in fact seems to clearly use attack as an after thought.


It's almost as if he played Gayle with Joselu as a sort of one fingered salute to the fans and pundits who's been calling him negative, as much as to say " tehre you go, look what attacking set ups get you."

Maybe he didn't but it frigging seems like he'd do that.

I honestly want him gone.

he did have cash and he had top fizzy players and a fair few prem players from the season before and player brought for the prem

so i aint going with that excuse
he may not have had the cash the top 7-8 teams had but he had cash

he just wasted it

he phecked up getting rid of carr so quick

when he got rid of ashlys man ash cut him adrift and will let him sink

it wont be long before the fans turn and ash will have little smile at that

In what way would any of this be good for NUFC ?

LOL we didn't put any of our 16 shots in the back of the net, we hit the post, had a goal ruled out for offside and lost 1-0. Our 2nd 1-0 loss in 2 games. We could have been 4-0 up in that first half!

Blame him for not playing Mitrovic and not sorting things out in 2nd half but anything else is just overkill. So we booed after losing at home; no big club in Europe has ever done that before LOL. Don't equate that to majority of SJP holding your views and wanting Rafa gone.

Can't believe you 2 want him gone.

The ones that go the away games aren´t.

You spend half your time saying that our team, players and manager are sh*t and the other half complaining that we aren´t winning in style. For a frequent match goer, you don´t know much about football.

[toptoon]

I honestly want him gone.

....and there it is.

No, we're not.

The boos-from those who did-I, for one, didn't- were on the final whistle and lasted...well, as long as it takes to say 'boooooo' It was an expression of frustration at how shite we'd been in the second half; don't think you can read any more into it than that.

But it's anti Rafa and anti the team so it's bound to be twisted to support the views of those "loyal" moaning dissenters.

It's working, mate. And you can't argue against it. We're 11th in the league and the aim is to not go down this season. So far it's working. End of.
