Time to get over today’s defeat

[plav]

...Move on and make sure there aren't any **** ups against Newcastle & Spurs and get six points in the bag, which will boost morale and more than likely push us up into the top six or thereabouts.

Rafa has had 4 games to gauge where the strengths & the weakness’s reside within the team. Pick his strongest 11 & play the likes of Gerrard in the position where he raises his game to the maximum.

Time to put blaming missed opportunities too bed and start performing – end of story.

People have to realise things will take time to get the team settled. Rafa shipped out a complete team during the window, brought in a half a dozen players. We have had the pre season well and truly ****ed up by the world cup and the beggining of the season completely ****ed up due to pointless international friendlies and qualifiers for Euro 2000and whatever. IMO international friendlies should not be compulsory participation and the Euro and World cup should be all teams turn up and then play a knockout competition none of this drawn out group ****.

Back to us, we will be firing on all cylinders soon, Chavs, Arse, Scum write us off at your peril

Should Rafa have not used Pre-Season for gauging his best 11?

why is the newcastle game not on sky

Rafa hasnt played the same 11 in the last 90 matches. I dont think he is gonna start now.

i think it would be fair to say that as a team we just have not got going yet.
you can use any excuse you like ,world cup, rotation etc but the fact is the team as a common collective dont look up to speed yet.
