2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[willo30]

I find it bizarre that the replacement list is so unimaginative.

But also realistic. We are what we are and there's no changing that.

To any other football fan we are a nothing football club and have been for years now.

Playing 442 yesterday was baffling, clearly Delph was needed

The decisions he is making are mental

I’m really beginning to believe that he wants to be paid off. I can’t believe he is stupid enough to think that his tactics, or substitutions could possibly work last night. Looks like a man who would like his employers to sack him.

 

[Papa Shango]

Benitez is the least of the clubs problems now…

He is certainly not the least of them.

He is a symptom of the disease at the club, not the disease itself but that doesn't mean you don't try to manage the symptoms either.

Think he ended up with that tactic because of the players he wanted to use.
Tried shoehorning Rondon, Gray, Richarlison, Townsend and a back 4 in leaving only 2 in midfield.

Probably should have left Townsend out for Delph

If only you showed half the compassion to Muslims as you do to this turd of a manager, you might be a half decent human being.

Brilliant put down.

 

[marsh]

Mosh will be stubborn this time around I think and keep him as long as possible

Probably should have left Townsend out for Delph

I'd say Rondon given how useless he is

The owner has spoken.

The manager gets the season.

 

[ToffeeTim]

The owner has spoken.

The manager gets the season.

He's backed every other manager he sacked. He gets Monday and we see how it goes game by game.

 

[Lee Smith]

If a pornstar keeps failing to get a bonk on should he keep being given chance after chance to sort out his floppy nob or surely he should be replaced by a stud with proven stiffyness ? Rafael has been impotent for years now , time to put his sausage away and retire gracefully to Caldy.

Now this is the sort of analogy I can get on board with

[Kev The Rat]

He is certainly not the least of them.

He is a symptom of the disease at the club, not the disease itself but that doesn't mean you don't try to manage the symptoms either.

I’d say he’s the main one right now given we just need to get a few wins on the board to avoid the unthinkable of relegation

He has to be removed as a first course of action.

Other things are not only harder to accomplish (board change etc) but can also be reasonably be delayed until the seasons end

 

[davek]

That's not relevant to this. Koeman had hundreds of millions to spend and two seasons to get it right. Benitez has had no money and 14 games in charge.

 

[davek]

He's backed every other manager he sacked. He gets Monday and we see how it goes game by game.

He backed them with cash. And that's what he said today: I'll back him in January and the injuries will be back and we'll have a good second half of the season.

NOW: get behind the team.

 

[Connor]

He won't be here in January to be backed
