Post match reaction - West Ham (a)

[Alex]

shameful performance, none of them fit to waer the shirt tonight bar Yossi.

Rafa seriously needs to look at himself as a manager and look at the direction of the team. It seems as though we have lost all direction. I want him to stay still, but come may i may have changed my mind. This is the first time my support of the manager haswaivered. Im feeling very annoyed tonight

[Howard_lfc]

That was an utterly abysmal performance.

No fluidity, no creativity, no hunger and no idea. I really don't know what else to say. I'm so dejected.

5 draws on the bounce (premieship).

"We need 6 points from the next 2 games before we travel to Chelsea", put a team out that actually looks like it might ****ing well have a chance then.

We are going nowhere at this rate, just when is there going to be light at the end of the tunnel?

I've had enough now, I'll be happy to see Rafa leave with someone coming in to inject a spark. Its not happening and hasn't for a long, long time.

Nevermind - we're about to sign a defensive midfielder and we've just bought a new centre-half........

[JermainePennant]

I like rafa but quite simply our football and league position is nowhere near good enough.I cant help but think the recent debarcle with the owners has taken a lot of pressure off him,I seriously think we need to get a new attacking coach into train the team rafa has been here a long time and bought a lot of players and we are playing football like bolton and wigan while **** teams like reading play better football then us,I actually think everon would give us a spanking if we were playing tem next and i am not even convinced we will beat sunderland.

I dont think rafa needs to be sacked but i think he needs to be made aware that we expect better football then this, right now everytime something goes wrong the owners get the blame but at the end of the day rafa is working with and signed these players and I dont think hes getting the best out of them or even getting them to gel as a team.

The cunt parade is back in town

Predictable.

Apparently Rafa just waved his hands at the end as if to say...'thats it'...

Interesting...

[Red_Polo]

We are still regularly making the sort of fundamental mistakes as a team that I think we should've seen the back of a long time ago.

[Jan-Erik]

Its easy to see we need alot more quality on the field. We're just not good enough to compete against the top 3. At our best we are a great team, but our lows are too low. We also need peace and stability off the field. We're a mess at the moment...

[redblood]

Sack Him!

Chops and changes the team too often

Doesn't admit the fault of the players or himself after games

Crouch should play every game.

Kewell not fit to wear the shirt

Signed **** players (kuyt, voronin)

Clearly doesn't have the support of the players.



We need a new manager. I would have Mourinho, hes the only one who could keep players like masher and torres at the club.

We need a scouser as coach/assistant manager to bring some passion back in the club. Get Thommo back in!

You're some prick you have a user name that's based on our manager so you rated him at one stage but now you call for Mourinho ffs why not change your user name Maureen the Dream .:whatever:

Sad if true, but it seems like there is little effort from many of the players at the moment. If he has lost the dressing room as has been speculated, then there is no way back. There's a few of them who I won't be able to cheer for quite some time if it turns out that way.

[captain-caveman]

yeah i think maybe its time for him to go. its gonna be too dificult for him to turn it around now.

i dont expect to win anything this season now.

I think Rafa is too stubborn to change.

[andyinswinton]

Unless something happens tomorrow we are stuck with this lot until the end of the season.

The bottom line is that the squad isn't good enough and it isn't good enough to rotate at the rate we are doing.

We need to go back to basics. Pick our best eleven and stick with them for a while.

The annoying thing is that we should walk fourth place because other teams around us aren't as good as us on paper and yet we are struggling.

I'd also feel better about things if we wasn't always talking about Hicks, Gillett, Rafa and Parry. We have been too much like Newcastle this season. Its ****ing embarassing.

[Red_hot]

Apparently Rafa just waved his hands at the end as if to say...'thats it'...

I saw that too.

Oh and it wasnt as if to say, he mouthed "thats it" as well.

[rodo]

we will never compete under rafa we are falling further behind utd etc and the likes of pompey city and the blue****e are closing the gap us

[ningnangnong]

Emotion and Desire

We have none.

Alonso was the only player that showed any tonight.

No one seems to give a ****.
