I really don't know why Rafa chooses to almost defend and sit back in the beginning, and then attack towards the very end of the game. We should have come out attacking and with a not so defensive-minded team. That's how "big" teams play. They come out trying to get a goal and push upfield, and when they have done so..they make more defensive-minded changes and see out the game. If you see you're having obvious trouble, fine. Make some changes and pack the midfield. But, don't start off like that. Not against a team like Birmingham. We don't have the quality to play an effective 4-5-1. Sure, we might retain possesion a hell of alot more playing that way. Make us harder to break down etc. But, we don't create many clear chances on goal. We don't have those type of skillfull wingers that can easily go past a man or two and cause trouble every time they get the ball. That's what we would need to play that system. It's not there!! Choose that formation and team against the top 3, but other than that...come on. We need to score goals and win games.
On another note - Reina was terrible apart from that one save in the first half. Like I said a bunch a times on here already, I've seen him play numerous times...he's not TOP quality. He can be a great keeper at times, but other times...he's mediocre at best. Notice how many times he comes out wrong and miscalculates where the ball is going to end up on corners or set pieces. His decision making isn't great. He was to blame for both goals. I'm not blaming Warnock so much. He barely grazed the ball, if it all. That ball still shouldn't have ended up in the back of the net. He has to be attent. It's funny how everyone was slagging me off when I questioned Reina's abilities etc fromthe moment we signed him. What do you people have to say now...

I feel like sending Reina to play basketball 6 hrs a day!! Wtf !!
Even teenagers can catch the ball better than he does!!

Kid a wrote:I support our players. I thought Reina came into the game playing well previously, it's just that I don't rate him as being "class". And while he might be an "improvement" over Dudek, in the long run...I don't think he will make much of a difference. Like TOP keepers do. Just my opnion, though.

Lynds U have evey right to criticise Raffa! He sets the team out wrong too many times! I cant be bothered typing what i think he did wrong today and anyone with half a brain wiill know what i mean! Raffa is a fantastic manager in europe when more tactics are required and was in Spain!
But sometimes i doubt he will ever make it in the prem!
Also not too sure if he should have signed Reina looking at him flapping in nearly every game!
Today was a shambles and birmingham were there for the taking!
RAFFA WASTED THE CHANCE BY HAVING NO BALLS
