I think that whilst you can applaud Rafa for a good season last year, he must take some responsability for this years shambles.
1) Players do not seem motivated
2) The formation is old news, to negative, it relied on Gerrard and Torred fit and in form.
3) The signing of, and use of Aquliani
4) The inabilty to change, and change soon enough when we need a fresh idea.
5) The ugly football we have played all season since probably the Hull game near the very beginning of the season.
6) 7 League defeats, 3 of which have come against Sunderland, Wigan, Pourtsmouth, plus of course Reading in the cup, when it was priority, none of these are big spenders, or have brilliant players/managers.
It is time people face up to the fact that Rafa is not beyond SERIOUS questioning, on here people say he could change things as an afterthought, but surely now, he is becoming a major worry. If we do not finish top 4 this season, it could be some time before we finish top 4 again, let alone fighting for the title.
So F***ing frustrating!!!!!!!!!
