  1. 2019-2020 Edition. Schar for me.
  2. I thought he did ok, especially with his lack of game time.
  3. Here we go again. I am going to go for Perez, think this will be his season.
  4. Bump. Going back through the thread was interesting. Maybe a poll was needed.
  5. I am delighted to have Rafa as manager, our best since Sir Bobby (I know that isn't too much of a statement). But....... I understand the way that he has the team set up, to control games and to see them through when we are winning, but, boy we are shite to watch. I have only enjoyed one performance this season, and that was v Birmingham. Not one other game have I left the ground thinking 'fucking hell, what a good game of football!', not one! Yes, we have played canny, but I was fortunate enough to be a season ticket holder in the Keegan days, when we were in the second tier, and we were fantastic. Now, we are predictable and boring, and that only comes from the manager. I hate the way the ball is played forever across the back four time and time again with no urgency to get the ball forward, I hate the way he doesn't have a plan B (see last night), and I hate the way he won't try a different formation, particularly at home, unless we are getting beat. I thought Sheff Wed were by far the better team last night, and if we have ambition to win the league, that shouldn't be happening. The daft thing is, I wouldn't want any other manager, so I will have to put up with it. Yes, he his changing the whole club, and this is the transition period, and long term he may take us places, but his style of football leaves a lot to be desired in my eyes. But he certainly isn't King Kevin, or Sir Bobby. I have been spoiled I suppose. I doubt anyone will look back to when Rafa took over in the way I/we do to when KK took over.
  6. I would be willing to put money on it
  7. By fuck, the refereeing/linesmaning in this league is bad mind! I thought that last night was amongst the worst seen here for a long time. But I suppose he did give us 6 minutes stoppage though......
  8. Just reading back through this thread, and the amount of people posting 'GOUFF!!!' for the third goal when others were already posting about the 4th, they must have been trying to press 'post' when 'warning, there are other replies to this thread' came up, must have been frustrating :D

  10. Lee Charnley, went to Spain In a Dae-woo Matiz, He brought us back a manager, He's Ra-fa Benitez. (Been watching the Derby-Villa game, Villa singing their version all the time. Took ages to find a car that rhymes with Benitez)
