stop this utter wank about ****ing rotation
every body ****ing rotates
stop listening to ****ing sky and their ilk
utd changed 4 last night,chelsea 5 tonight, did you hear anyone bleating about that? did you ****?
same as when it was zonal marking,look what happened there after all their bull****.
we lost because we were ****
we didnt turn up .it happens get over it to ****.
not because pako is gone,leto played, rotation or any other contrived excuse.
nothing wrong with criticising the team and boy they deserved it tonight.but they all did collectivley.

Crouch still can't head and that has nothing to do with rotation

He couldn't rotate his head properly around the ball

I don't think it is wank Ronan.
Don't get me wrong, I am all for it, but I think at the start of the season you have to ease into it, not go straight for the rotation jugular. especially when we have so many new arrivals on board. IMO I takes time for the squad to settle as it has done every season since Rafa has arrived. then we get better and better as the season progresses. It is not just coincidence IMO. I have no doubt after we get over this latest confidence problem, it will be business as usual. The only way out of this hole is to play our strongest 11 to get confidence up, Rafa can still do a little bit of juggling as our best 11 can vary depending on who the opposition is. We have some important games coming up. The likes of Leto should be coming on if we are 2-0 up and controlling a game. I have no doubt Crouch's bad form is to do with rotation, having said that, I can understand Rafa's liking for the partnership of Kuyt and Torres.
