Rafa Watch

[Yozza]

Barca and Real are incredible sides but they just buy anyone who is currently the best player. Hard to compete with that

That's just what we used to do.......!

I see where you are coming from, but I always enjoy watching Barca, don't generally like Real but I just really want Rafa to succeed there. Sevilla are fun to watch as well, in fact Valencia, Atleti and Sevilla are good teams, very, very good in fact and probably all put together less expensive than Liverpool.

I used to love Real when i was a kid and Butragueno, Michel, Hugo Sanchez etc where playing but as soon as the Galacticos thing happened I lost interest. Barca and Real are incredible sides but they just buy anyone who is currently the best player. Hard to compete with that, I guess I like the underdogs. Athletico aren't pretty to watch but I love what Simeone has done there. Sevilla & Valencia would probably beat most teams in the premier league alright.

Hate Madrid and Barca, would love Athletico to challenge but lot to ask. Sevilla are great fun to watch. I do find it almost unfair the gulf between the top and bottom clubs. A 5 or 6 nil thrashing every few weeks is nothing out of the ordinary. Madrid have a fantastic side though, Modric was a huge loss for them last season, world class player. One player I really like at Madrid that goes unnoticed is Danny Carvajal. Brilliant RB has everything. I can't see Kovavic getting the game time he wants there with Kroos & Modric ahead of him.

I watch a lot of Spanish football as technically it's the best in the world, although mostly because I just like to see who scores the most goals between Messi & Ronaldo. It still baffles me at how far ahead they are of any other player in the world. Ronaldo has 8 goals in 2 games, that's just ridiculous. Be interesting to see how Messi does tonight.

Was a poor result against a newly promoted Sporting Gijon, so was important he did well in the next couple of matches or else he would have been under immediate pressure. Even if he’d won the next few matches by one or two, I think some of the fans who didn’t want Ancelotti sacked would have been on his back. Great response so far though, although I wish it wasn’t that f*cker Ronaldo scoring all the goals.

I will be cheering Madrid this season because of Rafa, he so deserves any success that comes his way. We treated him like **** and should have taken him back after Dalglish. I'd take him any day over most managers. I think he only bought one out field player? Kovacic?

i just want to cry

[BigChief]

Wow those are some good figures. As much as I'm not a huge fan of his managerial style, at least he's got one. Hope he wins the CL and league double in the same season as Mourinho is sacked (sorry, leaves for mutual benefit) at Chelsea.

I'm sure Rafa would have known how to use Benteke just like he did Mista at Valencia.

[redmike65]

Not good enough for us though

Do you think Rafa would be as good without Ronaldo and with Benteke? eh eh?

[Leyton388]

But only after we sell Coutinho!

[spud_gun]

Yeah Rafa was never the answer. Let's give Bodgers another £80m.
