Im tired of Rafa. I really am. He is predictable now down to a tee. His 60 odd minute subs, his ludicrous selections, his overall planning of games. Im tired of it. His stubbornness of sticking with one striker (Torres), his spending of the money we have on players that havent solved our problems. Johnson, and as everyone has said, great going forward but lets look at him for what he is. A £17 million pound full back who isnt that great a defender. His man management skills are just awful. For every one player he signs he will lose two as is his style, and what makes it worse, is the second player he loses is the player he has spent a small fortune on. Im tired of having to watch us struggle through so many key matches, then come good when it doesnt matter. Everytime, when we lose through the same ole rotation, not creating enough, and generally not being good enough. Rafas interviews are always the same, we have them by heart now, "We have to improve", "We have to cut out the mistakes" and the constant one "Lets look to the next game".
We are predictable. Any half-decent side can stop our play, its so simple. 2 Defenders on Torres and plant their midfield and attackers in defence. Thats it, we are in trouble. We cant cross, and unless gerrard or torres are on form we cant bloody attack well. The chelsea performance summed it all up for me. For all the time Rafa has been here. He is predictable. He should stop looking at the technology available to him and just use the old fashioned methods. Look for yourself and learn. How many times do you see rafa at other matches? Hardly ever. Scrap the tapes and go back to the old times rafa of using your own eyes to see for yourself.
Im tired of watching the same thing now. Every season during the league campaign. In 5 years, last year rafa did better. This season, another 2 steps back. He has signed a new contract and so will be here a few more years. Many will jump on my back and say its not over yet, yeah it is. We just dont look capable of putting in a constant run. I have run out of faith with rafa. He will not win us number 19 in any time soon. He is too stubborn in his ways to put the club first above his own opinions.
Bill Shankly: “I was the best manager in Britain because I was never devious or cheated anyone. I’d break my wife’s legs if I played against her, but I’d never cheat her.”
As I dodge to the side and the blanket flutters harmlessly to the ground I'm going to give it an "Ole!".
with Lucas. He should be out of the starting line up. Lucas as a back-up for Masch and Babel as a back-up for Reira. Nothing more nothing less.
