Time for a Change??

[AFII]

Why play Torres on his own at home against wigan? Biggest mistake in my opinion.

"Always Next Year..."

Babel is the only other attacking player that offers some kind of goal threat. Crouch, Voronin and Kuyt simply don't score or create enough.

Rafa played our two best attacking players upfront, nothing wrong with that.

[Fowler_God]

So rotation hasn't caused our downfall?

No. So we should slog the players like donkeys until they are destroyed? We have the best injury record in the league for muscle injuries. why? because Rafa uses the players correctly to minimise the risk.
yeah you can play them every game and hope for the best, but if you lose Gerrard, Carra and Torres to injury in feb/ march because they have been worked to death then you will have threads on here saying why wasnt he rested.

And i will say it again............ Taggart 'rotates' as much as Rafa. its just because everyone is up the whiskey drinking fools ass and are to scared to say anything! Your getting caught up in the media bollox

And people are making me a wind up merchant for standing for Rafa. Was the Jose chants for real ? If that's the case, then these so called supporters should be ripped off their season tickets and they should be given to real fans.

there were no jose chants at the game tonight. there weren't many chants at all in fact. any chants that did happen would have been conspicuous by their presence.

there was no jose chants that i heard.

i'd stop going if we hired mourinho to be honest.

He took away an extra attacking dimension from our midfield. something wrong with that.

In fact, he started today with the lineup I was expecting away to Citeh, that tells me something.

But there are loads of other threads discussing the same ****ing point. No need for this drivel at all.

Yeah. Point taken.

But against a player like Bramble? Crouch, Voronin and Kuyt should be having a field day against a player like that.

[alunevans]

Well Rafa is to blame for everything didn't you know??

What were all these great chances though? City yes. Tonight no.

Want your mod-merge powers back for the night Shaggy?

THere were moaninhio chants at anfield? FFS, where's the respect?

No, there were no Mourinho chants at anfield whatsoever.

Rafa will never learn and we will never win the title with him at the helm.

If it was just tonight, then everyone would cut him some slack.

I'm fed up with hearing it's the players fault.

He is ****in obsessed with changing the formation.

BTW his treatment of Crouch is a ****in disgrace.

What treatment,he's serving a ban cos of his own stupid reaction during a game and thus can't play

Shame Rafa wasn't out on the pitch to waste all those chances that lineup created....
At least then you could blame him.

Totally agree.Back the man with the money required to buy players of sufficient quality that will put those chances away.How many of tonights line up are the product of being able to buy players from the top drawer? just one,Torres,thats it,and he did his job.When Rafa has been given money to buy top drawer players for at least this window and in the summer,if we then still don't challenge then,maybe,it's time to criticise.

IMO of course.

Taggart rotates, fair enough. Where are the Scum in the league? He has lost thrice and drawn twice. Beating Chelsea at home and beat us away.

Rafa rotates. Lost twice, drew eight times!

[Joe King]

I think he means throughout the season

It's not about support for Torres. It's about the negative approach you get when you start two defensive midfielders when Gerrard drops at the same time.

We never once really took this game. we managed 8 shots on their goal. For 93 ****ing mins - 8 shots. With Kuyt in a 4-4-2 you would have drive and power through Gerrard at CM instead of Alonso on Prozac.

It sounds simple because it is ****ing simple.

Seriously Shagmaster, if they give them back for the night I'll pm you a list of knobheads on this site who I'd appreciate you banning
