Why could we demolish Stoke,Southampton, Leeds but lose to QPR, draw to Fulham and lose to Swansea. Don't give me the "They played really well and defended " excuse . NO they didn't. We UTTERLY DOMINATED SWANSEA creating great chances with Hazard on fire, we were also in control of QPR too, Fulham as well.
However now at our away game:
Everton: Fantastic win, made a few of us on here think we could have a shout for the second place if not the title.
Stoke: another difficult game, made it look easy.
So now comes the question: Is Booing Rafa making the team perform badly, it must be affecting them in some way, we seem to play with much more pressure on us at home, however away we look calm, composed and lethal.
I was against the RDM sacking, and wholeheartedly against Rafa's appointment, but give the guy a break ffs booing only seems to make us worst.
Chelsea fans the reason we suck at home?

We beat Villa 8-0 the game before, people forget that and look at a game in isolation.
If we score early at home I think in most cases we will go on to thrash teams.
But it goes without saying we do not have strike power of Unites and that has cost us in the tight game this season.

1st half I thought we were impressive. 2nd didn’t show enough as an attacking threat,not enough penetrative passes. Despite being 1 down and knowing the way Swansea were set up. No sense of urgency. Just slow tempo.

Should have finished off Swansea in the first half but we just weren't clinical enough.

United created feck all in their last win, but a bit of pure brilliance by RVP got them the points.
That is the difference.

Having had a very good first half, Luiz then proceeded to be absolutely woeful in the second half against Swansea.

I feel that we lack a cutting edge at home against teams that come to park 2 banks of 4 and for that some (not all) of the blame has to be laid at the door of Torres, who is supposed to be the spearhead of that attack.
On Wednesday despite all the possession we had we struggled to open Swansea up with Torres looking impotent and lacking effort up top for 80 minutes, but once Ba came on for the last 10 he had 1 perfectly good goal disallowed, a penalty shout (which wasn't) and 3 good goalscoring chances.

Rafa doesn't help by taking 75 minutes to sub Torres the other day v Swansea...
unbelievable frankly....the tea lady couldv'e called that

What a ridiculous argument. By your logic if Rafa get booed at home the team play badly but because he doesn't get booed much away the team played well. Does that mean the home team are chanting praises to our players then?! I knew the moment they made this excuse sky people will see it as a logical argument. We played badly at home because of some individual errors by players and manager alike.

YES, our away form must be a pointer to the anti Rafa crowd that they are doing much harm with their constant DM chants and 16th min stuff.

Of course they only make them at home never away. FFS are you serious.?
