Personally I don't think Wenger is anywhere near the manager that Rafa is, thats said they go about things very differently. Back to the original post. I just can't imagine Rafa being anything other than extremely calculating so whatever he was doing tonight I'm sure there are some plusses for him as manager.Perhaps he needed to see who he could rely on to get us where we want to be, maybe the plans for next season are already in motion. It's not like he could go out there and play is it , there were some bad performances.
