      I didn't like the look on Rafa's face at the final whistle, he looked gutted and disappointed and it was quite saddening to see that look.

      Ok in my time I have questioned Rafa but I have seen his Valencia play back in the day, they were very organized, played football on the ground, played fluent football.

      The look on Rafa's face was more a frustrated look than anything, and with all this sh*t he's gone though lately I'm actually starting to really feel for him. The players should be ashamed of themselves, they can do better and they jolly well know this but no pressure will be put on the players, it will all go to Rafa which is a shame.

      Rafa's been left frustrated more than once, he is a man to stay on at a club in a current situation like this!

      In Rafa's interview after the match, he looked totally dejected, almost looked like he'd been crying.
      I've got to say that although he frustrates the hell out of me, i feel really sorry for him, he seems to be carrying everything and everybody on his shoulders.

      We love and support you Rafa...

      Going to watch the game now MsG and haven't seen the interview yet, but it sounds like the players have let Rafa down yet again.

      Would I be right?

      Honestly I don't think many mangers would be able to cope with the amount of pressure he's gone through. Most of the pressure has been unnecessarily called for!

      Jose Mourinho was going under a fair bit of pressure earlier in the season, but that doesn't compare to what Rafa's going through right now. Believe you me!

      Rafa needs someone to put an arm around him, because this is all uncalled for.

      I would say so yes......at the end of the day once those 11 players are on the pitch Rafa can only do so much.
      Mind you, I just wish he'd have bought Crouchie on, I think Kenny said in the match thread, when your not winning and you've got an England striker on the bench......get him on the bloody pitch, especially as it was his birthday.

      Frustrated.......watch the game srs and see what you think.

      He needs a right hand man now more than ever. I watched the highlights and he really is trying but the players really are letting him down. I've now come to the conclusion that certain players need to go, for the good of the club.

      Kewell, has tried to regain his form but it just isnt happening we should offload him he isnt quick enough for the pace of the premiership anymore and his wages going with him would do the club wonders.

      Kuyt and Voronin i wanted both to be able to work out but it isnt happening for them either bring in someone new that is upto the job and work hard to get babel upto the level he needs to be at.

      Riise same as the others really.

      Then bring in rafas First Choice replacements. The players are really letting rafa down alot now and its getting beyond a joke. The club needs to pull together now more than ever.
