Not being able to beat Barnsley at home is just embarassing, total disgrace, when will Rafa take the hint and feck off.
BTW Why does everyone assume DIC will back Rafa, they don't seem like the kind of organisation that supports mediocrity, they'll bring in Maureen and give him loads of cash and we'll win the league within 2 years.
Sorry Hiemdell but that team on the pitch yesterday was not a weakend team it was more than capable of beating most teams in the prem never mind the first division. How many internationals were on that pitch yesterday?
And on a side note Raffa Benitez is not an idiot thank you
Without Torres and Gerrard we are hardly "capable of beating most teams in the prem" Nanny, capable of drawing against most teams in the prem maybe![]()
Whats upset me the most about our "cup run" is that we have played 3 teams from lower divisions and each time they have passed the ball better than we have. We have been the team pumping the long ball upfield. Yesterday again Barnsley they were the team stringing 6 and 7 passes together while we were humping the ball up to Crouch hoping for a miracle.
So how can we compete Saint if we keep having to rely on them two players
Sell the cr@p, and bring in a few top quality players. A creative second striker , and a winger for starters, with maybe another main striker as well.
Diego or Aguero CREATIVE SECOND STRIKER
Eto'o or Villa - MAIN STRIKER
Silva or Bentley - WINGER
