Wigan Post Match

[mick the click]

My positive thought is that tonight just confirmed what I've felt, and said, for over a year now. We will never win the league with Rafa and come next season we'll have a manager who might have a bit of desire and ambition to actually get #19 rather than hope we can defend our way to it.

What did you just watch?

[AFII]

Mascherano, what an excellent player

[disco]

Should have won that a canter. **** result and I don't actually remember many chances other than Gerrards double chance in the last 20 minutes

Mrs Disco is equally unhappy - Derby lost 1-0 in last minute

[spud_gun]

On a more serious note I can't see us winning the league under Rafa.

That tonight, was completely clueless from him.

Just like Reading was.

And it keeps happening.

We'll never win the league under him. Simple as that.

[ronniedrew]

absolutely gutted, disgraceful, i really dont see why he changed the formation that much, again, gutted..........

[Kopite_Colin]

If there was ever a game which demonstrated our dire need to have at least one top class winger and another class striker available - it was this one. Sorry to say it, but realistically, we need to start planning for next season now.

Post Wigan match: The truth NO positives

Absolutely shocking playing a 5 man midfield at home to a bottom 2 team what is that all about???

Once again Torres is the difference......for all or posession which id say was about 90% we did fook all with it.

Does Rafa want to be sacked or what?? I love the guy but what going on,seriously our season has just blown up in the last couple of months on the pitch and off it

[SloScouse]

Well, a point is better than nothing. We still have a good chance of winning the premiership, the difference is only 12 points with a game in hand. Besides, Wigan are a good team and there's no reason to be disappointed with a draw. If not, there's still next year. And a year after that. Just look at the positives; We have a world class player who can't hit a long ball anymore, unless it's perfectly set up for him. We have two very hard working strikers, who also happen to have great technique. We have the best midfield in the world, that can't break up a defence with Titus Bramble.
LOOK AT THE ****IN POSITIVES MEN!!!

[Revo]

4-5-1 At Home Is Just Not Good Enough.

what position did rafa play on the pitch tonight
because i dont recall seeing him out there

[Kenneth]

I think this was a watershed momemt. Crowd booed them off. Rafa all over the place.

[AFII]

I won't be surprised if Rafa will now be sacked.

He need time and money to turn this around but he will probably not get it.

Yep.

Bringing off Pennant for Kuyt, putting Kuyt wide right 2 minutes after bringing on Crouch sealed it for me.

Ridiculous.

Playing one up front against Wigan at home?

Also ridiculous.

I dunno anymore, as good as we can be in Europe at times, too often Rafa ****s games like these up in the league.

[REDSCOUSER]

BYE BYE #19 & bye bye RAFA in the summer..fooking gutting this

[CharlieMansonsSquint]

Rafa blaming the ref as well. Pathetic.

Perhaps he should have a look at himself first.
