Rafa - I'm here to stay

[El Jefecito]

It is though.

He wasn't forced to pick them, he chose to.

You clown! Pedantry is the last refuge of the scoundrel.

Mate, I ignore most of your posts

Yeah, that one especially, as it kinda ****s up your argument...

It doesn't really the crux of the issue is:

Yes or No. Can you manage that?

Is he rotating less?

Really, I'm a clown for stating the obvious?

Can't have a civil conversation on here anymore.

Sad to see.

He has said he wont do it less next season....so your 'less rotation hope' is gonna be short lived. Sorry to wreck your hopes.

Well if you didn't deliberately miss the point it would be easier.

I think you are making **** up. Give me a link which has a quote saying that, or admit that you are full of ****.

I didn't deliberately miss the point. I just disagreed with your opinion, and I backed mine up with facts.

Are you so dim that you don't understand the difference between rotation and bringing your first choice players back in after they have been injured.

:whatever:

He said it to Kelly Dalglish in front of a few million Setanta viewers...she asked if there was a case against rotation and he said no, it's because we are in less competitions.

So Alonso wasn't avalible for selection against Middlesborough?

Yes Carragher and Skrtel have just come back from injury.

Are Skrtel and Alonso "first choice" players? That's the basis of your position.

My point is that our manager has consistently made 3 or 4 changes a game.

You can nitpick as to the reasons why he's made those changes, the three he made today weren't inforced.

[wiw]

We'd challenge NOW if he did that.
But he doesnt and wont. He wont change it.

That's why i say it's not about money.

Surely the whole point is that we want to compete in and more importantly win as many trophies as possible. We are now rotating less because we are in more competitions...but a squad with an overall higher quality with better players is required to compete on all fronts. Money would help this...

edit: Whether we like it or not, Rafa's philosophy won't change drastically, but better players to rotate with will help

[El Jefecito]

He said it to Kelly Dalglish in front of a few million Setanta viewers...she asked if there was a case against rotation and he said no, it's because we are in less competitions.

So where did he say quote "I will rotate a lot next season"? He didn't, did he? So therefore you are making **** up.

Whoosh! FFS I said things had changed the last few games. Can you tell the difference between that and the rest of the season. FFS it's like talking to Eliza.

Played in the reserves to get match fitness. Duh!
