Yet now there are a few posters pointing out there isnt any moanings about rotation, you honestly cannot win. 'Whinge' about rotation and your not a superfan, don't 'whinge' and people think they are clever with sly digs.

For what it is worth, I did not see Rafa bench the likes of Torres and Gerrard to 'save' them for the CL fixture with Chelsea on Wednesday. Yesteryear he would of probably benched one or the other, hopeful of beating a 'mediocre' team without our best players. He did not show Fulham the disrespect he has done IMO to other teams in the past.

As for the players coming in, well its common knowledge that Riera has the fitness levels of my Nan and played for Spain midweek. Where as Dossena came on as sub for Italy, Mascha played at 12.000 feet altitude and had to fly half way round the world. And maybe the real 'tinkering' happened at LB with Insua coming in for Aurelio where as Bav said Rafa maybe saving him for the CL.

Rafa did not rotate our 'game breakers' thus still giving us an adequate chance of winning the match.

On the contrary our manager Rafa is probably the first to find a negative after a victory. Infact wasn't that the first thing he said moment after the players got back in the dressing room after Istanbul?

Everyone should feel free to say whatever they think.

If there is one thing I hate it is the thouht police that run around here acting all high and mighty. This is an open forum and there is nothing wrong with looking at details even if the result went our way.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves 

but we are all waiting for the day when Rafa jumps up and says we played perfectly.

That will happen the day in which we end the season first, with no goals conceded in all the season, and winning all the games.

We won't see that.

You could almost see Rafa let of a hint of a smile and a bit of a celebration yesterday.  At Valencia wasn't it only after the 2nd time they won the league that he was seen jumping up and down on a balcony?

I kind of like that he never celebrates goals like other managers do. He keeps his emotions sealed up so he can keep a clear head to make decisions.
