Regarding Aquilani against Wigan, is it not possible that Rafa didn't want to play him for tactical reasons? He decided to go for 4-4-2 which was a nice surprise, but he couldn't play Gerrard and Aquilani together so naturally he chose Gerrard. Then in the second half the players became nervous and he couldn't introduce Aquilani until play settled, I thought it was logical.

Not convinced that in general i think 4-4-2 is the right formation but perhaps without Torres it is closer to what we need. Certainly the selection and subs were totally consistent.

I remain unsure why anyone would want to rush back someone from a long term injury, particularly anyone without PL experience. Even if physically he is ready there is a huge psychological issue to overcome.

Someone raised the point recently about Rosicky, after a long spell out, being pitched back in the team by Wenger only to break down with another injury. If that happened to Aquilani, Rafa would get slaughtered. Mind you he's getting slaughtered now anyway and does so no matter what he does...**** it.

I admire him for doing what he thinks is right despite it though. I have zero sympathy with anyone who wants to see a manager do what the press or indeed fans want to see.

I met a lovely little thing last saturday outside the club, oh **** she was gorge.

I think so, I though Kuyt and N'Gog worked well and with a bit of luck Kuyt should have scored after being set up by N'Gog twice. Neither of them are going to flourish in our usual system leading the line IMO.

Pleased with the manager tonight. Torres was not fit so he reverted to 442 with Stevie at CM. Natural balance in the middle, natural width, 2 forwards upfront and we get the 3 points. Well played Rafa. i could argue maybe he could have took Mascher off instead of Ngog to go for the 2nd goal but we got it anyway.

I take it all back. Rafa just undone every good thing he did on wednesday. AGAIN.

He should resign. Tonight
