1-0 Citeh. Barreh.

Am I being harsh when I say that, in my opinion, a goalkeeper who is apparently the best in the world should be doing a lot better with that 2nd City goal?

Gerrard in midfield

Man to man marking

4-4-2

Sky think its great so it must be.

Rafa's fault.

I've only seen it once but it looked like he seemed to panic about being hit in the face and drops off. I stand to be corrected if further viewings prove otherwise

2-0 up. First home game of the season. And city fans are singing about MUFC. Bless em.





Don't you know he won the golden gloves award?

Good old Roy bringing the passion you know because he's English and all that.

All them ing know it alls banging on about Rafa is crap FUCKOFF

This is what the top sides do at home to any of the mid table clubs nowadays

Roy is sorting out the mess Benitez has placed them in, it won't happen overnight.


Stupid Liverpool fans chanting for Benitez is a joke, he's the reason you are where you are

Did we get beat 3-0 at City last year?

OH IT MUST BE RAFA'S FAULT THIS

What a ing surprise

Suppose if we won tonight Rafa would get some credit no?

Clueless

I think you are. I think one of the worst positions to be in as a keeper is reacting to a kick that doesn't happen. It would have been infinitely better for Reina had Tevez actually made contact and directed the ball. Reina would have instantly reacted and could have made a save. But I think that when a ball like that is missed there is nothing to react to and by the time you've realised that it's too late.

I'd blame the central defender for losing the contest for the header and the marking for having Tevez stood by himself in front of the keeper. Little or no blame for Reina from me.

Doing a good job.

Benitez was a joke, the club will be better off without him in the long run. He was taking them backwards at an alarming rate

Hahaha shut up

Erm, someone should tell Liverpool they don't zonal mark anymore, man marking at them never results in goals does it?

One bad season one ingbad season maybe you should of stopped listening to sky and the rags and ask yourself why such a crap joke of a manager now is in charge of the current Champions league and Serie A winners?

Fair enough. Like I say I've only seen it once.

Thats why we have a mid table manager.

Because nobody else was stupid enough to take on the job after Jose

You are a cluless biff

I think Rafa had just ran his course with English football. Same as Mourinho. Rafa wasn't a bad manager he just looked, to me, to be a manager that cracked under Fergie pressure the season before last and couldn't get it back together last season. He also looked somewhat disinterested to me last season. He will do well at Inter, whether it will be good enough after following Mourinho remains to be seen.

And he wasn't a good manager either, too much fannying about with the team week in and week out when you haven't signed good enough players to do that

You seem to be taking defeat badly.

WUM

Am not even shocked by the score to be honest

What esme off is the anti Rafa crap last season and this season by cluesless champ manager biffs now look at us.
