Gerrard on the right again

[CharlieMansonsSquint]

****ing hell

one draw away from home and now rafa is a worse tactician than "spend 300m and then play a centre half up front when you need a goal" mourinho

and i think that the game in which mourinho subbed off 2 players after 30 minutes and another at half time ended in a draw as well

he didn't have many answers at home yesterday either did he?

Well said as usual mate.

Like Shaggy said, he was on the right for all of five minutes.

Case closed. :whatever:

Case closed?We have a world class central midfielder on the bench and a midfield pairing on the pitch who were underperforming and we have a winger on the pitch who was not in the game and Babel on the bench who should be his direct replacement.Rafa chooses to replace Pennant with Gerrard.

Explain that one and then close your case kid:whatever:

Richard keys on Sly sports was saying that Gerrard has made Mclaren realise what his best postion is but why cant he make Rafa realise, 5 ****in minutes and Sly are having a wank feast.

It reminded me a bit of Athens ... It took him ages to bring in Crouch, yesterday it took him decades to bring him off!

Sometimes I wonder what Rafa is thinking when we're not playing well ... Is he thinking at all?

I mean Mourinho (I don't know which game it was, I think it was last or the season before last one) substituted 2 of his players in the first 20 minutes when he saw that his tactics didn't pay off and that the players are getting battered out there ... With Rafa, you can have daywalkers on the pitch but he will still do nothing ... Until it's too late 10 mins from time.

Yes I think Rafa should copy the Special One and his great tactical mastery too. Like if we go a goal down this season we should stick a centre-back up front and hoof long balls towards him for 25 minutes, which is Mourinho's Plan B. Rafa obviously doesn't have a clue.

He played there for about five minutes.

He was on the right for 5 minutes............for gods sake

Rafa spend more time on the right during the match........

[Marky]

He was brought on there yesterday and I hope Rafa does'nt play him there away from home.His one good piece of play was bursting onto a ball through the middle and setting up Torres.Rafa yesterday was like the old Rafa who made dodgy team selections and underestimated the opposition.

Gerrard back in the middle everyweek and Torres up top.

correct me if i'm wrong but i think when gerrard raced through and send torres clear (who then blasted over the bar) he came from the right.
don't get me wrong i too think he's better in the middle but i always thought rafa has a point when he says gerrard's more of a goal threat when on the right.

I made the point earlier.He burst through the middle.I was just saying it was worrying that he came on there.

I still think Rafa is going to play him at right back because he spent half an hour there in the 2005 final

I was at the game Saturday and during the warm up Pennant was struggling with his left knee but seemed to run it off, He was taken off as a precaution.
