    To be honest I thought Saivet and Mbemba have done ok.

    Hayden on the other hand is utter gash.He needs reinvented as a centre back. He can't play enough for central midfield.

    If we had Anita, we would not be doing any better in this match.

    Also, Gayle isn't good enough at this level. Still better than Joselu for me!

    Hayden should be sold to whichever lower league club will take him.

    Chelsea players are disgusting divers and faceholders.

    It’s the fa cup we are in the 68 minute and we are not chasing players down sitting back to kee the score down.

    The commentators are even saying it.

    What is wrong with them. They are so set in their negative mindsets that they are missing the point of what you are supposed to do when your behind.

    It’s pathetic.

    He doesn't need one. After doing the same thing in 1054 games it happens naturally.

    I wonder if they listen to Rafa so intently, they forget to take themselves onto the pitch. Regimented, yes, but there's no impetus.

    No we wouldn't. I just don't know why we spent some of our budget to get someone even worse.

    You should know Rafa doesn’t do the figures that’s Penfold/Ashley’s ball park.

    Left on a free means, these days a signing on fee at top level. Fairly sure Anita will have got a signing on fee when joining Leeds. Signing on fee plus wages(Anita) was probably more expensive than transfer fee plus wages (Mankiller, sorry just had to).

    Try not to be too selective on remembering the “facts”.

    How is Joselu not getting on the end of that. He completely missed the ball. Wtf are these players doing in training it’s bloody incredible.

    Just thought that. He's paid, what, £20k a week and can't connect with a ****ing football in the box?

    Your math is terrible <laugh> You do realise if they both get similar wages, both get a signing on fee, but one costs a fee, the latter is probably more expensive.

    I think you're looking back at Anita through midget tinted glasses... but I agree with your overall point about the quality of the replacements. Reallistically, getting rid of Anita was a good call, and replacing him with someone younger, who can speak Spanish for the pittance we have to spend probably makes some kind of sense though.

    I'm sure he'll prove equally useful in the championship next year. 40 year old Danny Devito probably wouldn't.

    Don't get me wrong Anita wasn't good. He was better than this ****stain though, probably at a similar wage/signing fee level, and didn't cost 4.5m. Speaks spanish though like you say so Rafa can tell him what to do easier. Then watch him fail to do it.

    We are pathetic as a football club. We really are. I can’t believe he is bringing on Murphy at 3-0 down.

    Rafa has completely lost the plot. What’s the point?
