Don't you just love Rafa....

Interviewer: "So, with this line-up, is the performance more important than the result?"

Rafa: "No, we think we can win with this team"

Classic. How much of a dig at Jose is that? It's a "We can beat you with our reserves" attitude.

Great stuff.

:whatever: i bet it was a sky reporter,what a fcuking stupid question.
as if rafa is going to say yes,we dont mind losing as long as we play well

[dww]

I would say that Rafa has treated it as just another pre-season game, so I suspect he has sent out a team with at least as much interest in how it prepares us for the coming season as to winning the match.

He called Maureens bluff. Jose "we will field a full strength team only 50% fit and still beat a full strength liverpool" Rafa "who said I will play a full strenght team? we have a big squad, any player good enough to win this game". Rafa made mourinho look a fool
