Untrue. He has simply squandered a lot of points that he (or at least his management and coaching team) deserved.
They have prepared very well for games, have been playing well but lack fitness and Rafa must have the worst in-game management I must have seen in some time. No better example of this than the Barça game.
Even the staunchest of Barça fans would tell you that there was only one team on the park for the first 80 minutes. Celta played them off it but then played right into Barça’s hands with the most stupid tactical decisions (given the squad and the situation of the game). A tactical masterclass to a tactical disaster class in the blink of an eye. Panic and pressure of such a strong position. How ironic.
Barça deserved all the 3 points that were only Celta’s by right. Barça didn’t play badly to be second best. Neither did they do something unforseen nor extraordinary to turn the game. It was all Celta’s credit earlier and all Celta’s blame later. One of the biggest throws I have witnessed recently.

You are kind of making my point for me here TBH
He’s not a complete donkey but he frequently makes bad decisions that swing games away from his team
Rafa in yet another relegation battle
apparently worst start ever to a season by Celta since 2007 when they were in the second division
Low key tactical dinosaur TBH

Celta doesn’t even look bad, they’ve been so unlucky as well
Losing the 2-0 lead to Barcelona
The Bamba goal vs Mallorca that was millimeters from crossing the line
Last minute loss to Las Palmas
Had a man up vs Getafe and didn’t take advantage of it (instead conceded almost immediately after the sending off)
Rafa could be blamed for part of it, but also Celta need to be better in these situations
