If you are agreeing about the #hashtag stuff I agree. If I’m not mistaken you aren’t one of the ones captured by his star anyway.
I think he's a very good manager, and way better than we could ever have expected to get, certainly if he was to leave we'd be back on the cycle of the likes Souness, Roeder, Pardew, McClaren, Allardyce, Kinnear.
He's not infallible by any means. But he's better than we would be likely to get again for a very long time. His previous clubs have been Real Madrid, Napoli, Chelsea, Inter,Liverpool, Valencia. Whether or not he's been lucky, a success or failure at those clubs, he's obviously got something about him to keep getting jobs at top European clubs. For him to be at a mainly bottom half premier league time like Newcastle feels like a lottery win compared to what we've had or what we could expect. I can understand the hysteria that comes with him being here, but perspective is needed from some of our fans. He's not gonna win the league here, probably won't win a cup, but he can do pretty well.
The same fans who hold him up as a world class manager who can walk on water are the same ones who cry out for Mitrovic and moan about one up front or about being too defensive, completely contradicting their idolizing of Rafa. In Rafa we trust, but question his tactics and moan about the players selected.
The same divvies who have major meltdowns on Twitter because we don't thrash the likes of Bournemouth at home.
