Rafa Watch

[MrMichael]

Not really

Massively consistent player, improved in terms of adding more assists to his game if anything

Rafa will get a lot out of him though for sure

[Arn]

Not really

Massively consistent player

and this mostly from a central midfield position.

Haha that is a solid record. I'm sure I read something about his failure to maximise his potential.

As well being not particularly good against us, he had a couple of poor international tournaments - maybe that skewed my perception

With that kind of output it's surprising he's never been snapped up by one of the giants. Let's go for him next summer

[Chris]

I always thought he was a bit Tim Cahill until last season, will get you a goal but is pretty **** at most other stuff, he improved massively last season though and Rafa will take him up another level.

[Shaggy]

Hamsik-Higuain might be his Gerrard-Torres.

[Arn]

Hamsik-Higuain might be his Gerrard-Torres.

The same type of players.

Rafa more or less copies now what he did when was our manager. Builds up the squad in the same way and the same type of players.

Why change a tactic that works?

[JohnDoe]

Hamsik will become a world class player under Rafa.

Benitez: "Is Hamsik like Gerrard? Hamsik doesn’t have Gerrard’s strength, but he does have more tactical intelligence."

Napoli 1-0 up at home against Atalanta.

Higuain scored the goal.

[Arn]

2-0 now.

Callejon scored the second.

[RedAndWhite]

2-0 now.

Callejon scored the second.

Going top of the league - 3 wins from 3. Sounds familiar.

Going top of the league - 3 wins from 3. Sounds familiar.

2-0 FT.

Another easy win.

[Shaggy]

Go on Rafa la!

Does anyone know any UK channels that show Serie A highlights?

Inter will be kicking themselves for not supporting Rafa.
