can you not make stupid topics? delete this

Like:
1. Tactically neutralises the other team's strengths (especially in the Champions League).
2. Insists that the team can improve, even when we win 6-1.
3. Wears a red tie.

Dislike:
1. Waits till the 60th minute to make substitutions regardless of what is going on in the game.
2.
3.

Couldn't think of two others.

Of course you can improve, we conceded a goal. Not a hard one that

1 sticks with a winning formation
2 never  accepts to the media that we are a 2 man team...has faith in the squad
3. Preserves an image of always being competitive for a trophy

But

1 blinded of players inadequacies
2 not enough trust in youth
3 too many poor buys

I don't see why it's stupid.

Like:

1. His faith in the squad.
2. His tactical nous.
3. His undying love for the club.

Unlike

1. Substitutions.
2. Gives youth players little chance to impress. Once they perform well in one game, they're gone the next.
3. Has not pulled out a gun on the Yanks.

massaging his goatee when were getting hammered and the crazy hand gestures to the players

Like
1. Tactics. He has a real smart mind up there, sometimes doesn't have the players at his disposal to release it.
2. The respect he commands from the players, signs of a top manager.
3. His love for the club.

Dislike
1. Taking to long to make a sub when it is needed.
2. Not much use of the youth
3. Not selling Voronin

Three things I love about The Boss!

1. For simply getting what our club and city is all about and for giving me one of the best night's of my life in Istanbul. The man will become an honorary scouser when he does finally leave!

2. For simply having the cojones to slag off Ferguson and telling it like it is in that supposed "Rafa's Rant." He was spot-on in every way.

3. Winding the press up and tw*ts like Richard Keys and Andy Gray, who try to consistently blame zonal marking for ANY of our defeats.

1. Very proffesional. Doesn't give the media anything to feed off on.
2. Doesn't change his emotion whether we win or loose. Some people might think he should lighten up but I think its fine. He's always concentrating on how we can improve, which I like.
3. Loyal to the club. Could have easily left for Real Madrid but chose to stay with us.

3 Dislikes

1. Don't feel he gives everyone a fair chance, Babel for one.
2. A lot of his tranfer targets are debatable. Yes I know some of the reason is due to the financial constraint but still. Arsene wenger buys cheap but still Gets world class players. Arshavin was 11 mill, we could've bought him. Barry was bought for about 8 mil? We were willing to pay 20 so why not buy him?
3. Needs to find a way to get young players more confident to play at premier league level. Another Micheal Owen would be nice.

Likes
1. He's a master tactician. We're feared in Europe. Hell no one could demolished Madrid the way we did and Barca also.
2. Given strict amount of budget, he could create a hell of a squad.
3. His static emotions.

No dislikes sorry to disappoint you.

3. Not selling Voronin

babel and  lucas too!

Like

1 - standing up to anyone and everyone
2 - his affection towards the club and city
3 - his knowledge of the history and traditions

Dislike

1 - persisting with below par players
2 - singing his own praises a little too much i.e. "we're ranked number 1 in Europe" when in reality that means nothing
3 - moaning about money on a regular basis

Like:
1. The way he maintains his composure after an excellent result.
2. The way he stands up to the media and isn't afraid of saying the truth i.E. what he said about Slur Alex last season. That was just brilliant.
3. His connection with the club and understanding the history and traditions behind it.

Dislike:
1. Can be stubborn at times.
2. His tactics sometimes are baffling.

Can't think of a third dislike.

1. his modesty
2. loyalty
3. tactical nous

1. stubborness
2. sometimes baffling team lineups and subs
3. doesn't praise players personally

Like: Tactical genius
Record vs top 4
His goatee

Dislike
Rotation
Faith in Lucas
Standard of English and Pronounciation.

Standard of English and Pronounciation.

it is actually very good, he just pretends to have a sh*t standard of English when he doesn't want to talk or reply to some of the gobs***e sports press.

1) Making the most of average players
2) Istanbul
3) bringing in Torres.

No dislikes.

Likes:

1) Love for the city, fans and the club.
2) Tactical God.
3)'The Rafa Rant'

(lots more likes by the way! )

Dislikes:

1) Doesn't make any changes until at least 60-65 mins.
2) Sticking by players who aren't good enough.
3) The odd strange line up (but I guess it's not really Rafa at his finest without the odd one )

1) Doesn't make an changes until at least 60-65 mins.

People might disagree about Benayoun starting at chelsea, but I'm sure everyone agree's that He should have come on at half time at least. Don't know why rafa just has to wait till exactly that time before he makes a substitution. Frustrating at times.

with the poor buys, one thing i do like is the fact that he does move most of them on pretty quickly

1/Sticks by his players through thick and thin.
2/He always seems to get his tactics right.
3/I love the way he made the spine of our team much stronger/Bringing Torres here.

dislikes/
1/Why do Rafa never seem to leave anyone at the half way line at corners.
2/The crossing of the ball from the wing has always been a problem.
3/He should have someone on the posts at corners against.....

1. total defence of the club from idiots trying to undermine it
2 champs league tactical nouse(apart from florentina of course)
3. fernando torres

dislikes

1.not playing benayoun all the time
2.lucas leiva
3. ranting/sneering at refs/fourth officials(show some dignity rafa your the manager of l.f.c not any other tinpot team)
