laura made the point the most disappointing thing during all this is that the season is now derailed Due to Rafa coming. under rdm, we were talking of a title challenge but the sacking and the subsequent hiring of Rafa has failed to invigorate the club like previous mid-season managerial changes - avram(not a perfect example), hiddink and di matteo. appreciate roman on one thing. he'll not let us become arsenal at any cost. none of the "top 4 is good enough" nonsense but ultimately, we have shot ourselves in the foot this season. rafa needs a win and soon because he has come in and made us defensively compact but 4 shots(?) in 180 mins of football AT HOME is just pathetic. against ManCity, the David Luiz free kick was the only shot we had. Rafa brought up the Bertrand experiment again. We tried and failed with it earlier in the season. not saying di Matteo was a great manager but he knew the club. we were heading for a top 4 finish. that was the season objective before guardiola or someone comes in the summer. what is done is done and i hope the club doesn't panic-buy anyone expensive in January and just wait till the summer to sort the mess out because we are not a good team now. we just have a bunch of talented individuals
