Its been a hard long season that has been blighted by more than substitutions & tactics, theres so much being going on that of course has a detrimental on a managers ability to manage the lack of investment over two seasons being a big part in that, to stay competitive you have to spend whilst those around are you spending or stand you still or worse even, you go backwards.
think the lack of investment is getting them all down. Gerrard\Torres/Mascherano
The infection at the top is now filtering its way through the club.
However, that does not excuse the quality of player we have producing the drivel we are being foced to watch.
Nor does it excuse a manager who came here and made us a side that passed the ball and control games turning into a negative, ambition-less kick it away merchant which is what Benitex has become this season.
Our goals for in the last 8 away league games are 0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0.
In that time we've played sides like Pompey, Blackburn, Wolves, Wigan so not exactly top notchers and yet Rafa still refuses to adopt a positive approach and send the team out fired up to chase early goals.
If he's not prepared to change that approach then we have no prospects of winning the title and he might as well go. I'm not interested in chasing the top 4 every year and being satisfied with that.
