Well done Rafa

Terrible team selection, poor substitutions.

We were lucky to get the draw.

As I've been saying for the last few months we will not finish in the top four under Rafa this season.

This is not a personal attack on Rafa, just a simple observation that he is not good enough to be our manager.

By the way we were only about 4 points behind Man Utd when Robbie Di Matteo was sacked. Now look at the gap.

Great work Rafa

Team selection but Ba was spot on IMO, it was the subs that lost us the 3 points

Can't blame Rafa. Team selection was spot on. Ref wasn't going to blow the whistle until they scored.

Rafa should have started Ba, Terry and Lampard for a big game like this.

Also why was Torres allowed to stay on the pitch all game ? He was useless.

It was Torres who needlessly gave the ball away at the end that eventually lead to Liverpool's goal.

It is a combination of the ref, Rafa and a poor performance. Not just one.

The reasons we didn't get the 3 points:
1) The ref was diabolical his next game should be no higher than the Conference North or something similar to that.
2) Not starting with Ba and keeping Torres on till the end, I actually think that Rafa got it right in not picking Terry and Lampard.
3) The substitutions were poor today, I would have brought Ba on for Torres and Moses on for 1 of the 3 amigos and that's it.
