Post match reaction - West Ham (a)

[Sarb]

We come up with the same thing all the time. We were unlucky, we should have won, the referee scammed us, if only Torres had scored..etc etc. Fact is if we say this the odd game that is fine. if we say this game in game out then we are deluding ourselves. We aren't good enough. We can blame the players but Rafa bought and picks the players and continues to pick non-performers.

Quite frankly we can't even pass and move the ball. It's poor. Not fussed if I get told to go and support someone else. Just saying how it is. He's lost the dressing room and has lost the plot

[JohnDoe]

It's very clear that the players don't give a **** about his orders.

No, that's yourself speculating your brain into meltdown just as usual.

Did you watch it? The players didn't look like they cared. He has clearly lost the dressing room. I want to see us play football instead of this dross.

See above line.

You get nothing for last season - or the season before.
What matters is now- and it's patently not good enough.
He has to go; bury your head in the sand and deny it all you like - but then look at the results and it's there in black and white. It's a ****in' shame but there's no sentiment in football; Sunderland is MASSIVE for him on saturday.

Typical nonsensical, impatient, glory hunting, exaggerated, spoiled, Newcastle fan syndrome response.

Rafa Benitez is one of the very best managers in the world.

He has been here for 3.5 years. Half of what it took Ferguson to win the title by outspending the rest of the league consistently, half of the time LFC gave Shankly to win the league again. Not even as much time as Houllier was given to get it right. Oh, did I mention two European finals and an F.A cup?

To get rid of him now and bring some no-mark manager with "guts" and "motivation" skills would be an absolute joke.

PEOPLE WANT A NEW MANAGER BECAUSE THEY WANT INSTANT SUCCESS ALL THE TIME AND THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN WITH ANY OTHER MANAGER COMING IN, SO GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEADS.

Get rid of Benitez, and you destroy the foundations he has laid, the work he has done and start from scratch with someone who's just not as good.

Back Rafa Benitez. Give him confidence and time. Give him money and support. He's in the most difficult situation in his life, his pride has been destroyed, his mouth shut, but he has not given up on making us happy.

I will not give up on him!

[ronniedrew]

being an lfc fan sucks at the moment,

the owners, the manager, the players need to have a good look at themselves and stop acting like children, do their best for the club or **** off , that goes for everyone.

[Fowler_God]

i think the players have lost faith in rafa or rafa has lost the players, whatever way you want to put it.

the players should be ashamed of themselves, performing ****e for months (not one game - many games), woeful and upsetting

I'm believing this maybe the case now, which is a shame.

Its fairly obvious something has gone down within the squad. Its at times like this which can break or make a squad. I think the next few games are crucial as to what happens long term.

[Sarb]

Maybe they should take you with them, ****wit. Things not going well? Why not blame everybody then eh? bound to get it right somewhere. Sho some ****ing support instead of this piss poor attitude.

Maybe they should take you with them nobjockey :whatever:

Haven't blamed everyone. Blamed three people, three main people who have lost the focus of the season. I bet you used to chant Heskey's name game in game out too!

[rodo]

seems a lot of people are now happy to challenge for 4th place and a cup run

[red g]

SACK RAFA and lets be the new newcastle, hopefully we can get a brazilian manager in and lets fill the club with brazillians.

[bogsdollocks]

3.5 years and two European finals, clearly not enough.

3.5 years with the same manager, clearly boring for the internet whingers.

2.5 years with relatively small funds and then another year having total cunts as owners who have shattered the team's spirit and confidence with their off pitch antics and undermined the manager's position.

Yeah, clearly Rafa has to go.

******s.

Couldn't agree more mate. I'm not the most prolific poster on here and never will be but sometimes you just gotta say something. I go the match (ST holder Centenary) and am not one of these ****ing internet jockies like the vast majority, many of whom are hiding behind their posts spouting ****ing garbage. For weeks now we've been backing Rafa ferociously against these two yank ****ers and now the concensus on here want him gone. Ok lads and ladies if that's what you want then get down to the match and start the Rafa out chants instead of the tap tap ****in tap of your keyboard. Look, I don't like this anymore than the next man and some of Rafa's decisions piss me right off but he's what we've got so accept I. He doesn't become a bad manager overnight so clearly somethings wrong (lost the dressing room perhaps, we don't know). What he sticks on the pitch should be and I stress SHOULD be more than enough to blow away West Hams etc. We're going through a really bad phase not helped by other factors but its happening. Get behind the team and hope the slump ends and we go on a run. I'm still very confident we can make 4th unlike the doom merchants on here. That's all I wanna say but I just know what will now follow. '****ing knobhead this, ****in knobhead that, ******, **** off.....bring it on I don't give a **** but there's one thing I do care about and that's this club and the current manager.
GET A GRIP.

Ps. Les - Maureen's not the answer mate. See yeah in work tomorrow. I'm off to kill someone now over the internet!!!!

course we are :whatever:

[Vermilion]

FFS, every day the press, radio stations etc have been digging at Rafa, with their snide little remarks & the i know better merchants telling how it should be done, it's so obviously about cash & quality, thats the gap.
Wenger & Rafa are the only 2 managers to break the monopoly of the super rich clubs in Top european leagues, I just think our manager has been attacked & attacked from all sides for a long time, all the while holding his tongue, pressure building, it's gravitated to the squad imo. This is when he needs support, total unmitigated support.
Don't let him be driven out, with the right tools he will bring the title home. It's not long in real terms to build a squad to challenge the wealthier sides above us, he'll get there, & i'll be watching.

[Shaggy]

Apparently some ****'s been on 606 saying "the proper fans, not the Istanbul fans, want Rafa out and there will be a 'Rafa Out' rally on Saturday. :whatever:

No doubt some Blue****e cunt.

[Fowler_God]

depression is setting in. i am losing interest in football altogether thanks to the past 4 months.

sick of the two yanks crippling us
sick of moores and parry. they are failures and have to leave
sick of rafa's contrinual failure to get the best out of the team/squad.
sick of the players failing to stand up and be counted.

do you know what makes it so bad. its ALL self inflicted. No bad luck, no tragedy nothing. 4 own goals right there. life's too short for putting up with **** like that.

Grit your teeth mate. It will be worth it when were celebrating another trophy

[disco]

Oh and I've never used abusive language to anyone on here

True, but offline....

I must admit.... I'm starting to wonder if he's lost the dressing room
