Read somewhere that we have won 60 of the last 100 games we have played - this cropped up due to the issue of rotation.

 

In that time we have apparently played Chavski 10 times and United 5 times - not a bad record I would say. Probably only Chavski and United have bettered it

Yeah but if you look at the mix, 10% of games were against the league champions.

Rafa has always rotated his team. He did at Valencia, he has done at Liverpool. He has won La Liga (x2), Spanish Cup, Champs League, Super Cup (x2), Fa Cup, Community Shield and we have got to the League Cup and World Club Championship Finals. Not bad for a manger who rotates his squad alot.

 

Rotation as Hansen says, is only a problem when the team is struggling. If the team is winning, then it is seen as great management. Like you have said rotation is essential now in football and it should be done at the right place in the right time. But it is a high risk strategy and can make a manager look foolish or great. It is one of the reason why Rafa thinks we won the Champs League in his first season. It was also another reason why his teams look fitter from January onwards compared to the challengers. We saw this last season where we played numerous games (given Champs League qualification and WCC)... but we still looked the fittest team around and went on another great run. Benitez also says it was one of the main reasons why his Valencia team won the La Liga championships.

 

I personally think Rafa can make too many changes at times. For example one game this season he made 8 changes. But I do think 2 or 3 changes can mean the players stay fresh, as well as keeping cohesion and structured. But if the players were on form... I don't think rotation would be as much as an issue.

Not if your name starts with an "R", ends in a "D" and has "ashi" in between.

 

I heard that YNWA had stopped allowing new members, I was obvioulsy misinformed.

see my post above

 

although, obviously, you have to make sure you're in the right clique to be truly welcome. In case you're wondering, I'm not. Jonesy certainly isn't. Ignore him. We all do ;)

So what use is this stat to us? We already know that we finished third in the league last season. We need stats that put us top of the bunch, which the next 100 will do ;)
