You are clearly easy pleased.

I have no idea what you mean by this statement, I am baffled.
Gerrard30391 wrote:Anyway, my opinion is, Rafa could go. Im only 16 and i sat and watched the game with my old man, and a mate, who is and Arsenal fan. And we debated our selections compared to the Gunners. We decided that the chances we have of winning the title like Rafa is doing now as Blackburn. No joke.
So you think that we have the same chance as Blackburn have of winning hte title ?
Is your Dad a bookie by any chance, and of so please can I have his number ?
Gerrard30391 wrote:It's just not going to work. Crouch (correct me if im wrong, last years top scorer?) looks like hes some blind man!
Agreed. That chest down and shot into the corner was clearly made to look so easy by using the bell in the ball's bladder.
Gerrard30391 wrote:Unlike Kuyt and Voronin, who can't score for tofffe in open play lets be honest.
Torres: 7
Kuyt: 5
Voronin: 4
Crouch: 2
They are goals scored this season. I have not split them into games in this competition or that competition, because we dont have a cup team, a league team and a european team unlike some people round here think.
Gerrard30391 wrote:(RE Crouch): he got games last year and we saw the profits from it. hat-trick vs Arsenal. The Arsenal team that's not much different than the one we played on Sunday, surely hed play?
Manuel Almunia Lehman
Gael Clichy Clichy
William Gallas Gallas
Kolo Toure Toure
Bacary Sagna Eboue
Emmanuel Eboue Hleb
Francesc Fabregas Fabregas
Mathieu Flamini Diaby
Tomas Rosicky Denilson
Emmanuel Adebayor Adebayor
Alexander Hleb Baptista
so thats 5 of the same side as the one we played last seaso nwhen we won 4-1.
Gerrard30391 wrote:Nobody, but nobody, not even Pele can play at there best when they aren't playing week-in and week-out. So Rafa has to sit down with his management team. And pick his best team when everybody is fit. then he decides is this good enough to win the league. I would say Yes. Back-ups aren't too bad either. Lucas etc.
A settled side is a bit of a luxury with the injuries we have had dont you think ?
Gerrard30391 wrote:So, i believe as much as i love Rafa for the trophies he's won the way he feels is right. Needs to review his policy.
I dont think that can be levelled until the end of the season. If you agree rotation is aimed at keeping players fresh, and you say he is rotating then surely the control of the experiment is to see if they are fresh at the end of the season ?
Gerrard30391 wrote:Is Rafa saying there unfit and can't compete like the other top 3?
No he is saying this is the method he beleives in, one that has proven to help keep players capable until the end of the season (3 finals in the last 3 seasons in MAy, one lost and two won) is one he thinks can work in the league, with the right players.
Gerrard30391 wrote:Something has to change, and it's to do with Rafa. His policy or him!
Valid comment? I think so.
Boll.ocks comment mate.
Either the manager changes his style or he gets replaced ? When you grow up, in a few years time and gget a job and work for people and with managers, then you will know why this is not an option. The manager is his style. He can work on it, but he cant change it completely.
