"We always look to the next game - this game is in the past" "I thought we were in control which is why I didn't make a substitution until the 80th minute" Don't think I've heard anything else from him. How he can claim he wants the job full time. No way mate.
He's just not a Chelsea man. End of. He baffles me completely with comments, substitutions etc. Please go at the end of the season Rafa.
He probably won't so I will, hopeless as usual. Only a fool learns nothing from his mistakes, yet Rafa repeats them over and over. Firstly, underestimate your opponent, choose a second string team. Mata should always start, Torres should never start. Get the lead, then sub. Not lose the lead and panic. Brentford today were purely and simply enthusiastic. We had zero composure. Our subs were all wrong and miles too late, apart from Mata. Ramires continues to infuriate, his touch and passing really are piss poor. Why do we ALWAYS sub like for like ?? Why was Brana subbed at all, he had a good game and just missed with an overhead kick?? Worrying to me was the way our pace dissappeared with the inclusion of Terry, Lamps and Cole. Cole played well, but too often those 3 were playing little backward passing triangles whilst the front men were starved. Not a good look, not a good idea. Lack of quick, good ball from midfield is our real achilles heel. Lamps and Ramires not the answer, Oscar and Ramires not a good combination. So 2 out of 10 for the FSW, cannot believe he has asked for a full season next year, he is beyond useless and completely the wrong man for us. Out now.
CP--I would say , under normal circumstances, Rafa is working himself out of a job! Problem now is, who is there, that we need and is class enough that would want to work for RA, and replace him? Actually, although I'm retired, I reckon I could do a far better job! I just need to get the proper qualifications! Other than than he'll only ever get people who want to get rich quick! Unless of course he apologises to --and re-hires Robbie or the Special One!
Unfortunately BM2, apologising is not in his Psyche. When you are as rich as he is, for as long as he has been , you don't do apologies. The other person is always wrong !! Don't think you need qualifications to be better than Rafa, just common sense and a love for the Club should do it. Did you read today he thinks he's improved the team and with a year , will win the PL !!!!!!! Unbelievable. He also said he has "identified " a holding midfielder as "essential". How very perceptive, would never have thought of that, and it only took him 3 months !!!! Next thing is he'll "identify" Torres as useless, and maybe also himself !!!
