So what you are saying is that he couldn’t improve the players he had? When moyes has that at everton he was classed as a flop.
chelsea given permission to get fat frank. Its going to be a real tough one here. I'm not sure how he will play it for one. I should imagine a 4231 is in order given resources available Kepa. Azpi Rudiger Luiz Alonso Jorginho Kante Odoi/willian Pedro Pulisic Giroud I can't see barkley getting in there? Rudiger is injured right now, leaving christensen and option. Kovacic must return to real
obviously not. you've blundered in and stuck your foot in it here. you've not looked to see how many players were sold and what rafa was left to work with and how he did in fact get a side to win the championship and then survive and not only survive but actually power through both seasons and get to safety with a 10th place and a 13th place. frankly if you've a chip on your shoulder about moyes that's your problem old chap.
its patently obvious these are just bored. they wouldn't try it on on newkie board cos they'd be shot so they try it on here.
Just because Rafa did wonders at Liverpool with a half decent squad and had a blip in Spain don’t paint him out as the messiah. He took a CL winning team at Inter and ****ed that up too.
You are attempting to put an elite level manager in same bracket as David Moyes, fat Sam, pardew.... you deserve derision for such blatant stupidity. Oh just cos Benitez did wonders? He bought alonso and Garcia and took a very average squad to champions league glory. Some good players, all improved greatly. Kewell, traore, baros...... Valencia. 2 la liga titles...unheard of.. absolutely unheard of to break the classico stranglehold like that. Europa league Lfc, cl, fa cup Chelsea Europa league Napoli Italian cup Newcastle won championships having had to sell off players I won't bother with your rant about inter. If you knew anything you'd know inter were ****ed before he even took over. 2 tin pots but you know the score with those. that's a glittering career and an elite manager. I do understand you've not seen one since kendell
Well I would just show the Moyes net spend and how he never qualified for the CL, Rafa managed the same at Newcastle....but without a Cup final beating to moan about.
blah blah blah... you'd look even more of a moyes nerd if you did. David moyes the man with the decade long record of mediocrity that landed him the poisoned chalice of following Ferguson to ensure the man's legacy. once more 0.5mil net spend over 3 years to deliver promotion as champions, 10th and 13th in a premier league where 50mil won't get you a full back... compared to David moyes who decided that buying felliani for man utd was a good idea. the man that played no forwards for everron and relied on tim cahill to head a few goals from midfield. well done mate.. keep digging.
He did excellently at valencia and very few win the la liga let alone twice. Wouldnt say unheard of to break the stranglehold of barca and real though. Deportivo la coruna won it 2 years before rafa and atletico won it 5 before that
How many times each.... answer 1. since rafas last title in Spain 14 of the last 15 were won by the big 2. only atletico nearly a decade after rafa left won la liga. 2.in 3 years plus Europa plus nearly winning cl suggests a extended period of competing with the big two. again... his record stands up to any scrutiny as an elite manager and the wanton criticism is merely bored summery.
