Not even a year after we almost nabbed the title from them. Yeah, they know how to knee-jerk to.
Topic isn't about Rafa's managerial skills anyways, so let's stay off that shall we?
On the topic itself...
I really do think he mismanaged Aquilani.
Buying him aside, I guess the Lad will be gutted to know he's not playing week in week out, imagine yourself out for months and when you finally fit, hunger, and excited, you're getting bench for all the paltry reason. Maybe he can understand if the teams' playing well and Rafa couldn't risk a winning team.
but at the moment, we're not playing well , we're not winning, and Aquilani the man whom rafa himself bought is being marginalised.
I don't think that is a way to treat a player, i Just personally don't think so.
