Well apparently the 'anti's' of any sort are not allowed to show negativism after winning performance, it's deemed as 'nitpicking', 'ungrateful', 'disloyal', 'revelling in doom and gloom' and so on.
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.
