Rafa Watch

[Arn]

It's incredibly hard to better something like this. Maybe in time he could achieve it, but he's set himself up against very high standards (results wise). We all know Mourihno's teams were efficient to the detriment of the playing style - it's been documented that Rafa wants the team to expand its game a bit more.

The problem is that he didn't get the money to do that, to sign players that fits his tactics and not the tactics they used the last couple of years with Mourinho.

You simply can't stand still, then the opposition will catch you. Inter stood still one transfer window and that could end up costing them the title.

The rivals signed up players like Ibra, Robinho, Krasic....

Who did Inter sign? Rafa wanted Masch but didn't get the money to sign him.

I would say that next game in the league is a must win game or Rafa will be sacked if the comments made by Moratti is true.

How great would it be if Inter sacked Rafa and we sacked Bodgson around the same time. Perfect timing

[Fernandinho]

I think we wouldn't even need perfect timing to a point. If Rafa got the sack from Inter I could see him taking time off until the Liverpool job was available. He could do with the rest anyway!

[Craig_H]

Yeah, the 5 day break would do him good

[the rev leeroy brown]

he wont be coming back. regardless of what inter board say, rafa will see out the season for sure. we're struggling to name names who could take over - so would inter.

Exactly what I was thinking too

[wiw]

We must know by now not to write a Rafa team off in November?

Left field suggestion:

Mancini back to Inter, Benitez to City....

Left field suggestion:

Mancini back to Inter, Benitez to City....

If that happened..... = Torres to City

[Fernandinho]

If that happened..... = Torres to City

Oh god, I could really see that. PLEASE DON'T GO TO CITY RAFA

It is a very tough situation for Rafa, Mourinho is just an incredible manager thats seems to be able to get the best out of players playing under him, 5 trophies in 2 years is phenomenal and Rafa is under pressure already.

Moratti and Inter fans will not accept 6th place for much longer especially with the class squad Inter have, Rafa needs results asap or he is out the door, no forgiveness in Serie A especially when they have dominated the league for last 6 seasons or so. I'm sure they will improve

Rafa has been given 3 games to sort out things at Inter,otherwise he walks the plank.

It would be a ****ing travesty if Rafa was sacked and Dodgson still in charge here.

I think it would pay off for Inter to be more patient, they needed to freshen up a very tired squad but didn't and are paying the price now.

Exactly, there are some veru old men in that squad now. They need a good few new faces to replace the guys that just can't do it anymore. I think if they stick with him, they'll be there or there abouts come the end of the season
