We are talking about Rafa again today, phew.

Yup as i really couldn't be arsed getting drawn into yet another Rafa debate, in which firstly....i really don't care about & secondly... people get too over zealous shall i say, about a certain Rafa Benitez.

Soooo... i'll get back to listening to Earth,Wind & Fire - After The Love Has Gone in peace

You conveniently left out the other half of my post in which in said each to their own

Which makes what difference?

Rotation in football in completely necessary, especially with the busy christmas period, but Rafa rotated the wrong players against QPR.

In Mata & Hazard they 11 goals and 19 assists between them in the league alone!! That should have been 3 points for Chelsea IMO he should have started them. The game should have been put to bed and then taken them off and rested them, instead of bringing them on with 20 odds mins to go in a 0-0 dog fight. Rafa did similar whilst at LFC and IMO costs us valuable points.

No doubts the faithful will argue this out but i really don't think i'm alone in that opinion. Anyways each to their own as they say

its all true. get the game won, then rest them. this is usually how dbf does things.
some managers try to be too clever for their own good. their ego comes before the team...

It really isn't.

He rotates starters and does it often, it's not just pulling people off when the game is won.

[Shaggy]

If he "gets the game won" and then packs in, these results will take some explaining!

4-1 today, and counting.

8-0 v Villa
5-1 at Leeds
6-1 v Nordsjaelland

Sometimes I can't work out whether you are some sort of clever parody persona or not. Instinct tells me it's the latter.

Good news for unhappy CFC fans, Daily Tel tomo says Rafa expects to replace Jose as Madrid boss next season. Last time he did that? Inter...
