Our LC defeat

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

etc.

 

Remember Arsenal losing 5-0 to Chelsea a couple of years ago in the same competition? The Mancs & York (3-0)? The Mancs this season to Southend with the following players in the starting lineup:

 

O'Shea, Brown, Silvestre, Heinze, Ronaldo, Fletcher, Richardson, Smith & Rooney.

 

Hardly 2nd string that.

 

So why such a fuss?

Because we conceded 6 at home to a weakened Arsenal side (granted our side was weakened as well). First time we've conceded 6 at home for about 70 years. Rafa got the lineup completely wrong and got the subs wrong too.

 

Anyone who thinks he should go is a complete and utter nutter, but he got it very, very wrong against Arsenal.

.... and if we finish 3rd/4th in the league instead of 5th ... was he wrong?

 

.... and if we continue to progress in the European Cup this season... was he wrong?

 

.... and if our Youth policy and Acedemy is boosted by better more progressive players ( like Arsenal ).... is he wrong?

 

 

He's the Manager, don't like it? fair enough, have your say. He lives and dies by his decisions (in managerial terms) So far the number of trophies won says he right ( since his managerial reign began no Premiership manager has won more silverware) and that'll do for me ( so far )
