Blackburn Away. Post Match Thread

[sinbad]

We're becoming a laughing stock....with a stubborn madman as a manager.
It has to be madness when your teams crying out for a bit of class in the midfield, and you don't even bother bringing on your 20 mil signing who's been on the bench for six bloody weeks.

I dislike Dirk Kuyt.

I dislike Rafael Benitez.

I ****ing hate watching football these days.

[saj]

I thought Kuyt, Masch and Riera were woeful.

[Roboklopp]

Didn't bother looking up a streamcos I knew it just wouldn't be worth it. Officially starting to lose faith in rafa. Have been off work all week wi pig flu and watched a lot ofcfooty. Sadly I realised I much more enjoy watching matches I'm a neutral in nowadays

I think top 4 will keep Rafa in a job.

But I don't know if that alone would be good enough for me. Last year proved we have the players to perform, yes we have had injuries but the players available are still better than what the table shows.

I think Rafa really needs to win a trophy to keep the fans onside. We beat Man Utd and fail to push on. We beat Everton and fail to push on.

Simply not good enough. As I have always said I will give Rafa until the end of the season before I start calling for his head, but in terms of keeping me happy it's not looking good for him.

what the hell does it take for kuyt to get dropped??? he is such a limited player and plays every game

[saj]

I doubt it.

Trust me - don't doubt it

I'm so frustrated, I've tried to understand the Aquilani situation because of his long term lay off and not being used to the physical nature of the Premiership game. But it's getting stupid now if he isn't able to come on in a game like this where we are crying out for creativity, then why is he on the bench??

[ronniedrew]

we have absolutely no creativity though central mid, its embarrasing.

[Parr_Zee]

I doubt it.

No really! There are a couple of people who think Rafa can do no wrong. If we have come out gunning for a win today and took the game to Blackburn we could have won easily. We are too defence-minded. And its all Rafa's fault. When the players are given a licence to attack, they are very good.

What a load of ****ing bollocks, pure ****ing ****. Kuyt, Riera, Benny, N'gog, Lucas and Insua should be on the bench, I've said all along we need better players in their positions, we're not going to win **** with these players.

[red g]

Rafa is making me question if he is the right man for the job and i dont like that feeling!!!

[Tatterdemalion]

I don't understand why we play with two defensive midfielders. Lucas didn't do badly for me today, but I don't get why we need both him and Mascha. M is the better of the two so why play Lucas? How can Aquilani not even get 15 minutes in his place?

[Shaggy]

I'm going to bury my head in the sand, make mulled wine, look at my lovely tree and decorations and watch the cunting X-Factor

Life's too short for this ****. **** football, **** it.

[DannyMan2006]

May I add that Lucas and Mascherano as a pairing in the middle are simply not good enough at this level.

We need creativity in the middle of the park. We seem set up to stop teams playing, not take them on and go for the win.
