Rafa Watch

[Fredo]

We are just discussing Rafa and his situation. Thats what forums are for. You make it sound as though someone is criticizing your wife.

No, it's just tedious. His situation is all there for everyone to see. It's not great, so what.

[Craig_H]

it's a thread to DISCUSS his situation, Nigel. Cant you see that?

Or is it just a case of 'sing when you're winning'?

Defensive much

'Nigel' what is it about Rafa that turns you on so much? Is it his massive gut or his beardy goatee thingy. If it is the goatee, does that mean you didn't like him much before he grew it?

[Fredo]

Yer right. :whatever:

Stop being such a crybaby, people will discuss rafa and if he's doing poorly, there'll be criticism.

No problems.

[Craig_H]

If anything, you should WANT him to do poorly - more likely of him coming back to LFC

It doesn't effect us however he does, but for old times sake i'd like to see him succeed, that's all.

I mean..why would'nt i.

I'd like him to do well too. But not so much that I'm going to pretend he is doing well when he isn't.

What changed since my first post in this thread?

I had a look at the squad and compared it with the other top clubs.

Inter weakened the team and the rivals got stronger.

I watched a lot of Serie A games and saw that the referees changed what is allowed on the pitch by a mile or so. From being a slow paced game with a lot of free kicks it is now much quicker and a lot fewer free kicks. Something that doesn't suit Inter at all with so many older players.

The referee thing is a key point because it affects the whole game and what type of players it suits.

[Craig_H]

It's really unfortunate for Rafa that, in the space of about 6 months, all of his players completely changed and Italian football altered into something utterly unrecognisable.

That is one of the funniest things ive ever read! Refs? Come on!

Just ****ing admit it hasnt gone perfectly for him, theres no shame in it. Van Gaal is struggling like **** this season, he's not a bad manager either.
