what about a poll here, different to the other thread... questions something like:

Do you want rafa fired?

1. Hell yes.
2. Hell no.
3. Wait till january.
4. I'm undecided.

what do the admins say? It has nothing to do with signing other coaches, just about Rafa himself?

bump? Any mod/admin?

Rafa's tactics? Last I checked he's been playing the treble winning formation all season, with the exception of today when he tried to use the Prince and Eto'o together upfront. After that failed/ Obi got injured he went back to Mourinho's formation. That is actually looking at Rafa's tactical approach. He's basically been forced to use Mourinho's tactics because all of his requests to maybe attempt to use his tactics were denied in the transfer window.

No shit sherlock. Of course it its just a reaction, but it's a special reaction, one that indicates extreme disgust, which is what I'm feeling towards you.

Also can you point out my bitching in the transfer window? Because unless you believed in your heart, ass and soul that Inter were going to win a treble last season from kick-off not just the morning of May 22nd. Then you have no right to talk.

ok angry kid, no response for the last part..

i didn't complete ur first part, stopped when i realized that u can't differ between tactics and formations ... crap, u got nothing in football wisdom ... u just want a team full of stars ... have u been following RM's past seasons ?? they FAILED ... do u know why ? BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE A GOOD COACH
football success is created from having a good coach, not a stars squad
did u notice Mourinho's treble team? are those names any closer to the names of RM's or Manc's or even Chelsea's ?
am really glad teaching u football knowledge with each single post... keep it coming mate ... ur :palm:

lol

off topic a bit, nothing offensive mate ... it's different to stick with the club when they're having usual seasons, than seeing the club going from TOP to falling apart match by match ... it's just too different..

It's clear you've gone through NONE of the dark ages of Inter! Inter being here right now ISN'T USUAL. This is glory times compared to the dark ages where were nearly got relegated...

I'll translate this for Nyall and Luka

"I'm an incompetent coach. So, I decided to blame the players now. After I ran out of excuses."

Seriously, this is very scary.

Not trusting your current players will only bring the worse. No wonder just a few are giving %100.

u just saved a thousand words for me with that...
exactly

The lack of a suitable candidate to replace Rafa (should he be fired/resign) is a serious issue.

Is there anyone currently available who could do a better job? Spaletti is the obvious one, but do people seriously think he'll do well? His Roma were fun to watch, but AFAIK didn't win diddly squat. Pellegrini just took charge at Malaga, Rijkaard is terrible and a Milanista, Hiddink is at Turkey, Capello with England. Lippi is probably the only out of work big name manager at the moment, and we know how that will turn out...I geniunely think there are no better options. The last thing we wanna do is start fresh with someone worse...

i tried to read\skip fast ur post (no disrespect

), until my eyes fell on ^
well Spalletti, Lippi and even Mancini are BETTER options than Rafa (not in general).. better in Italian calcio... for 100% fucking sure

Well that wasnt very good was it.
Motivation is not something Rafa is famous for and it seems this is a team that needs motivation to succeed.
So why did Morrati hire him ?
Snieder seems motivated enough as does Eto so what is it that motivates them but not others?
I watched one of your defenders sprint 70 yards with the ball, lost possession and stood watching before casually walking back into position WTF he was worse than Carra playing RB
This injury list keeps going up and i think some of you seriously underestimate how injuries effect performance and balance in a team.
So Morrati has indeed got some thinking to do .
When i look at some of the comments on why Rafa messed up.
A lot of it is because he played or didnt play certain players or formations now these people all conclude its Rafas fault and on the face of it they all agree.
But in reality a lot of comments contradict each other as to why its Rafas fault..
Any way you cant win them all.

a large group of ppl with ideas are obviously going to sound contradictory, but in the end i think mean the same. nearly everyones had enough. the big point which you touched on is motivation. maybe he was capable of doing it in liverpool, but it definately isnt happening here. he is at the wrong club. not all managers can be successful at every club they go to. this club at this point in time is not suited for him.

Well, you can always swap managers with Liverpool ... LFC fans would be happy to see Rafa back, and Hodgson is not exactly a stranger to Inter ...

i'm 20 and if i ran 70 yards at full speed i would be exhausted, it's a miracle how the 34 year old center back didn't drop dead after he lost possession

our main problem right now isn't motivation, imo it's the way we play, rafa is just too stubborn to admit that his spanish style possession play doesn't compliment the players or the league

skeet · Nov 15, 2010

and a big LOL at liverpool fans who went from "you will win many trophies" to "the team has to get used to him" to "it's not his fault" to "we hope he loses so we can get him back" :lol:

blackmore · Nov 15, 2010

jose admitted he had a problem early with his 4-3-3...rafa should wake up soon

Well, we were under the false impression that the fans and the owner support the manager at Inter ...

Yes that was him,i didnt want to slag him or anything but 34 is rather old he's even older than Carra who's past it.
Then again i guess he's only there because of injuries.
Watching you play today i kept thinking whats missing then i realised a Mascherano type player was missing.and thats down to injuries as well Cambiasso will be key to your season progressing but once again the age factor will play a part in his recovery time.
Morrati should of bought Mascherano if you ask me.

You are far from being the laughing stock, you are just too arrogant to see the truth ... Well, you can't make a 45 million profit in a single transfer window, having an aging squad at the same time, and expect to avoid injuries and compete at the same level forever ...

Rafa has made mistakes during his short time at Inter, but Moratti (with his balancing of the books this summer) and the fans (with their: Maureen this, Maureen that) have not exactly helped him ...

Rafael Benítez

Do you want Rafa fired?

Hell Yes.

Hell no.

Wait till January.

I'm undecided
