Rafa is not trying to save his job, he made a simple decision on which game is more important...
Rafa is not worried about his job, because he knows he is safe, he also knows that if he was fired or decided to walk, he can get a job easily regardless....
Rafa decided that because Torres was not fully fit, to preserve him for Wed's must win match....
I personally do not understand the amount of hate towards him....
He has revamped the club, and we will see the benefits of him being here in the near future, and
just because we have dropped 15pts he is being vilified????
True, we are nine points off the pace, and the chavs look strong, but this is football…
We win 4 in a row and the chavs lose 2 out of 4, and suddenly we are 3pts off the pace…
People are acting as if the other teams will not lose games????? That is what I find amazing….
The mancs lost 4 games last year, 5 each the 2 years before, and the chavs lost 5 the year before that…
Now it is not ideal that we have lost 5 already, but if we do not draw any games, then the amount
of games we lost will become a moot point…
We could still lose another 5 games and still win the title with 84pts…
All is not lost yet, and as dire as the situation seems to be, we can still come out of this smelling like roses…..
Our squad was depleted on Sat (for whatever reason), and IMO we still should have won the game ..
These things happen...
The chavs, arse, mancs citeh, villa & spurs will all lose at least 3-4 more games, maybe more, we just have to be around and in form when they do….
I understand your frustrations, but sacking Rafa is the wrong option for me, especially when things are not a bleaks as they seem...
friggin' crazy....

Oh Dear!
IF this, if that. Fucking hell.
Rafael should just have admitted he took Torres off because he wanted to save him for the Lyon game. but he can never just be honest. People like will take it as you see it and trust Rafael 100% bullshit in the press. Poor thing.
Rafael is stupid enough to think he can get us to the 1/4 finals of the CL this year and that all will be forgiven and he'll get another season.
