RagsNikola ZigicNo chanceUnder Eustace we'd have lost at Boro, beaten Hull, drawn at Southampton, beaten Ipswich and lost at Sunderland.
See, this is an example of the "excuse mentality" that many fans have fallen in to. They've invested so much emotionally into Rooney that they will go to the wildest ends of reasoning to continue to try and make things look good.
Usual tactics include "if you don't think Rooney is a good appointment then you're not a real fan", "any criticism of Rooney is criticism of the owners", "all the games have been really hard" ... ad infinitum.
I support Rooney ... but i do it out of faith, it isn't based on spurious arguments and i don't bend the truth to have that faith
Spot on
😂
Why is that opinion worth any less than your own ?

Whose usual tactic is it to say those things?
Doing the Lord's work, Rab. Keep up the rational work.
I didn’t say anything about ‘definitely’, but those were tough games. I’m not surprised we lost the 3 away ones really and wouldn’t have been confident with however we set up in them.
Might have hoped for a couple of draws but would have been grateful for that. Hull was a disappointing result, as soon as we went behind the confidence seemed to drain out of the side.
Rab C NesbittFinchyTrust me I doI don't think you really believe that.
Based on? The evidence of games prior to the sacking suggest you would be well off.
We’d have lost all 3 away games the way we set up under him and Ipswich. Maybe a draw against Hull
But the way Eustace would have set us up would have been ideal for those away games
4 at the back, Sunjic and Blielik in front of them as shields then 4 attackers as midfielders and strikers ... Bacuna. Stansfield, Dembele, Miyoshi .... supported by one full back overlapping

One of the silver linings if Rooney goes is not having to put up with this mission Rags is on.

To me this just proves that it doesn't matter how many matches you attend, if you don't understand what is in front of you then you may as well not comment. The stats in the Athletic article prove that we were more adventurous, more attacking, more progressive under Eustace than we have been under Rooney so far.
You bleated all last season about getting rid of Eustace and again every time we lost this season (went very quiet when we won) ... you were obviously just seeing things from a very blinkered and skewed point of view.
You were almost at the point of say "anyone would be better than Eustace" - well, i agree that some people may have been better than Eustace - but so far i've seen nothing to suggest that, given equal resources, Rooney is any better than Eustace

Truth hurt ???
Nope. No idea. 😎😁
Life is grand
So basically, you've made your mind up and you're so stubborn that you won't even listen to valid arguments against your views, you won't read the facts in The Athletic article and you are putting people on ignore for questioning your views ?
