Well you can be sure that we won't win the league if Rafa concentrates solely on the UCL.

But why the defeatist attitude?

Chelsea, Manure and Arsenal all had players out on international duty. But they all put in the strongest teams. But Rafa keeps doing what his "thing".... We won't win the league this way.

I also think he doesn't really buy players who will excel well in the physical and cut-throat speed league like in england.

some examples

I mean Babel is fast....But i still don't rate him...I don't know why. Maybe he isn't a winger...and might do better as a striker. Maybe i should say...he isn't the solution for our left flank.

Alonso will be an absolute god in italy or spain (ie....slower leagues). Here it is very easy to take him out of the game. Just close him down fast whenever he is has the ball and he is neutralized.... But you can be sure rafa will start he for almost all our games.

Then there is Crouch, Voronin & Kuyt

Anyway, the way i see it....Rafa is an awesome cup manager. He is good in europe. As long as we can avoid english opposition...we should be able to go far there.

So Babel, Torres, Mascherano, Voronin, Agger and Reina don't qualify as 'physical and cut throat' ?

I disagree completely.

Alonso?

He's shown he's a class midfielder in this league.

Not every single player is going to have blistering pace, or immense physical prowess.

Alonso can more than hold his own in that department anyway.

You don't rate Babel? After how many games?


Rafa's rotation 'thing' as you put it, helped us achieve a record premiership points total.

Even still, after our best start to an EPL for a good while, you have no room for optimism for the remainder of the league season.

Fantastic attitude.

Sorry mate no can do (forget the Pompey one) That was the big one we could of played the team that faced Pompey today against Porto, and our strongest side against Pompey.

At this present point in time I honestly couldnt give a feck about Porto, my mind is on the league and how we failed to capitalise against Portsmouth.
