Problem is we have average defenders. Hyppia past it, Riise overrated. If he dont score he offers little. Finnan ok but going forward not great and lacks pace.

Rafa Benitez must be watching something different to me. Yes we have posession but whats the point if u dont create anything with that possession. He seems to think we played well tonight and were unlucky. His mad!!!

Rafa needs to realise that clean sheets and trying not to concede does not win u games. Goals do. In control is being in posession and going forward. Teams dont mind giving us possession as asking us to break them down as its something we cant do!!

Think i might send a diagram to rafa about the tactic overloading the box cos thast what we are missing people in the box looking to score.

Great, that will help our plight.

rafa's now saying we controlled the game and were unlucky cos we had loads of shots on goal. shame the only strikers we have who are capable of actually finding the target were either a) injured or b) sat on the bench until 85 mins. sort it out rafa, you've gotta play crouch more

Do you think that the result was due to:

1) Rotation
2) Not playing Crouch
3) Pako having left
4) The players did not perform

Sorry Sabre.. but he has lost the plot... you need tosee the interview he has just given.. its madness

by **LegBarnes** » Wed Oct 24, 2007 10:00 pm

rafa interview he also thinks team played well.

is it me or when rafa and team finaly admit they are playing bad they might find some problems to fix but how can a team improve when they cant admit they need improving. :Oo:

I have to agree this point of criticism of Rafa Woollyback mate.

I know Crouch is not world class, but tactically and positionally he's very useful, and using him less than 90 minutes is something I don't agree nor understand from where I sit.

Rafa can say whatever he wants in the press, but he has to know and tell the lads we've scored another goal in a set pieces situation and that must be trained and sorted out. I trust the man, but it's obvious we have to improve.
