Rafa this season

[Rocket]

10/10 , he got rid of almost all the "deadwood" over the summer, which is what we all wanted.


then he replaced it with more ****

Anyone who scored Rafa higher than 4 is is either taking the p*ss or a fool.

13 games in and Manu have almost twice as many points as us and that gap will grow. Its November, and if we actually won every single game left, we'd probably finish 2nd.

Scoring Rafa at 50% or over is a joke.

[dww]

I think 50% is justified by our early qualification in the CL. Wouldn't go any higher though.

[desertscouser]

I do wish people would read what I've written.

I am judging Rafa's performance THIS SEASON - SO FAR. Just like we say "Stevie isn't playing well this season" etc etc etc.......

Not the previous 2 seasons he's been here.

Not a judgment on the whole of the season - because we haven't had it!

A judgement based on his performance THIS SEASON - SO FAR !

why is that too hard for people to understand?

Your question is crystal clear to me. People just get a little sensitive when there is any sort of negativity towards rafa.in answer to your question, thus far THIS SEASON rafa has not covered himself in glory and that's why we are wwhere we are today. I would give him no more than a 5 . His saving grace has been europe and the carling cup.

[desertscouser]

It's too depressing! I'm therefore not going to argue over some arbitrary scale

'Not nearly good enough' is the bottom line!

EDIT - who voted 8 - FLMAO

a united fan.

Our group is one of the softest and a failure to qualify from there would've been a travesty.

I fail to see how anyone can rate Rafa on or above 50% when we're out of the title race before 2007.

I've been a huge supporter of Rafa, but this season is he's gone backwards. Kronkamps recent verbal attack was actually quite an accurate assessment of Rafa's team.

[Red_Al_77]

Based on the league he gets 1/10. On CL he gets 8/10. On LC he gets 7/10 and because we won the Charity shield he gets a brucie bonus of an extra 2 points. So he gets 6 out of 10.

[Sir Bob]

I'm a big Rafa fan but I can only give him 4 out of 10.
We are the most underperforming side in the league & the buck must stop with Rafa.

[Shaggy]

This season so far? Below average so that equates to 4 out of 10

6 is very generous al. Must be getting soft in your old age

i handed him a 5 and used the same logic that you used and i thought i was being far too generous. Numbers aside he's been ****e.

[Red_Al_77]

Yeh it was gonna be a 4 but it is a sunday. If this had been done after the final whistle yesterday it would have been a minus number.

[lfc4ever]

Rafa can win us a cup, but is that all we want to be known for - a cup team, albeit the biggest ones going, with the minors thrown in for good measure.

I want to win the league, and away from home he is mr below average, ffs, even Bolton etc have become "hard to beat" home or away, our home form is comfort zone, but the league isn't won on home matches alone.

Cup Manager - 9.5/10 (can't forgive him for Burnley in the FA Cup)
League Manager - this season - 3/10.

So, on the basis I only want the league now, **** the cups, 3 of out 10 is my score.

[Icon]

I rate him as a stubborn git.
Bad selections and tactics - 3/10.
Slightly above turd status.

Or just maybe someone with a different opinion to you?

13 games in and Manu have almost twice as many points as us and that gap will grow.

How do you know it will grow??

Its November, and if we actually won every single game left, we'd probably finish 2nd.

We would probably actually piss the league if we won every game.

Scoring Rafa at 50% or over is a joke.

Its not:bird:
