Post Match - Boro

[Craig_H]

Sami, Carra and Stevie g were as bad as everyother player on the pitch, they were not signed by Rafa. Even being a closet manc you should know that!

Very bright comment, that. Insightful, in fact.

The point is, if he bought & picked better players, when 3 of them dont perform, some of the others will be good/consistent enough to make up for it with THEIR performances.

Yep, JM was a tw@t at the Chavs and in no way am I asking or hoping he would come in. But our players really seem to need some better man management.

Through all the crap going on behind the scenes, they need encouragement and a pat on the back. Not all this scrutiny that Rafa dishes out. Benny not starting today was prime example of your "reward" for having a good run of form.

Players say they have improved under Rafa. Well maybe technically they have. But our players natural game and instincts seem to be on the decline and it's obviously costing us in the league.

There does seem to be a regular reward of not getting picked when you are in form and scoring with Rafa. I’m not a big of Yossi and don’t think he is good enough to be wearing our red shirt but even I can’t disagree that he should of started today. He also did it with Keane as well. You can’t help to partly understand why we do not look like a TEAM most of the time when players play well then get dropped. It must be a complete head **** for a player.

Act the **** and you'll get sinbinned. Have fun

Dumb and dumber, THE POINT IS 14 players failed to perform, not just 3

[MrMichael]

Wouldnt there? Some of them couldnt hit a cow's arse mate.

Let's be blunt though, even if we'd scored and won today, the same problems are there.

And i'm speculating about him specifically because he's the best manager in the world, when it comes to the specific problem about mentality. The solution to the problem you describe is JM's forte.

True

Again, true.

Yeah, I know that. My point is that I don't think he'd take it given the off-field state of the club, and also, I very much doubt the owners would go for him. Massive salary, massive pay off to Inter, massive gob. All the things they'd hate. I genuinely therefore think its pointless talking about him specifically, however good he is or isn't.

And the point is, if some of the other 11 werent rubbish signings and wastes of money, but were decent signings, they might've performed better.

Your first two words of that post are quite ironic, considering you're not understanding what i'm saying

[MrMichael]

Oh, and play nice please people, seriously, everyone's pissed off, and everyone wants better than what we saw today for lfc. The rest is just specifics, and everyone's entitled to an opinion on that as long as they're not being a complete dick about it.

I dont argue with that, it'd be a big task to get him in.

To be fair, i'm basing it on the notion that there'll be new owners.

I know some people would hate this, but seeing DIC take over the ownership and seeing them bring in Mourinho would be a perfect scenario for me.

Are you saying Mascherano, Skrtel, Reina and Alonso are crap signings

Well?

First thing that has made me smile this afternoon.

[Craig_H]

Well?

You're good at the abuse part of things. If your ability to grasp an obvious point was half as good, you'd be onto a winner.

Did i mention the names of Mascherano, Skrtel, Reina and Alonso in my post? Was it that magical white text?

Or perhaps i wasnt talking about those.

[FatTony]

Hypicriticall cunt. Are you saying Mascherano, Skrtel, Reina and Alonso are crap signings

Well?

Mascherano has been poor this season and a bit of a one trick pony (as in his trick is running about clipping heels).

Skrtel is no more than average.

Reina and Alonso are cracking players.

There's two really quite unlikely hypotheticals in that scenario at the moment. Substitute the name for "a.n.other quality manager with attacking principles who can install some real belief in the side" and I think you have a better debate.

I do have some element of fear as to who we would actually get though. And also that we're going to get to find out sometime in the summer.

This is your last warning. All you've done in this thread is abuse other posters. One more abusive post and you'll be in the bin.

[Craig_H]

You said Rafa signed **** players. Bull**** your way out of that!

Dossena, Lucas, Babel, N'gog, El Zhar, Kuyt...to name just under £40m worth of poor signings who arent good enough.
