2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[summerisle]

Si

Depressing.
Is this what it feels like supporting Tranmere Rovers?

6 straight wins, 6 clean sheets in the last 8, unbeaten in 9, second in the league - wouldn't mind that at the moment.

 

[RAFUH]

If he had any class he'd walk...

If he had that level of class, he wouldn’t have taken the job

 

[Marius57]

He won't.

And you will follow him to his next unfortunate club

 

[stevie blott]

I don't know how it can get worse.

Then again we always find a way don't we?

Rooney probably.

Just no.
Eh gads

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

I don't know how it can get worse.

Then again we always find a way don't we?

Rooney probably.

Rooney has Derby, in the worst situation in all football, flying. Was probably the most tactically versatile player of his generation and is an up and coming manager. He's a far far better choice than benitez ever was

I still can't quite believe we binned off the most talented Everton player in a couple of generations just to accommodate this out-to-pasture, washed up, relic.
Moshiri said he didn't want us to be a museum then hired a fossil.
Maybe he was a good manager once but Benitez is so far behind the curve of modern football that it's lapped him. He was finished even before he ended up in China and if this was obvious to everyday Evertonians, who voiced this concern at the time of his appointment, why wasn't it to the people making the decisions at the club who are supposed to know football.
Then, when the wheels start falling off, the solution chosen is to hand him more power than his predecessors.
Just staggering incompetence and really sad and tiring.

Supposed to be doing a dry few months. If he goes tonight, I think I might open a bottle

Bleach is sin free

I’ve just had to message the club. I know it’s a total waste of time and not what the website contact form is for but it did make me feel ever so slightly better! ?

“As a fan of over 30 years I’ve never felt the need to contact the club before but this week has been nothing short of disgraceful. The club should be embarrassed about the lack of class we showed in the Digne leaving article on the club’s website, whatever has happened behind the scenes he deserved our thanks and well wishes.

The approach to the match today was even more of an embarrassment, setting up like a 1980’s Vauxhall Conference side with one the worst strikers we’ve probably ever had and a two man midfield comprised of two players that literally have never performed well in that setup ever, showed either an unbelievable lack of football know-how or total arrogance (possibly both).

Please for the love of our beautiful club can we end this shameful chapter in our history?”

 

[bullybeef]

Talksport reporting that he’s getting sacked this evening.

 

[cronullasharks]

And to think Rafael haters where told he was the man we needed or that no one could do a better job hahaha. I could do better myself.

He's either doing it on purpose or hes the worst manager I've ever seen

Don't buy into conspiracy theory stuff in general but this vile kopite has seen an opportunity to take millions off a club he hates and take it on a downward trajectory. Dunno who i despise more, him or that idiot moshiri for hiring him.

 

[FrenchDarrenBent]

The Watford game ultimately looks like it was the point of no return. Players lost confidence and everything started becoming leaky and disorganised. Fan dissatisfaction grew by the week from that point on.

Exactly.
Our backline never felt the same anymore after that game.

 

[MisterJ]

Dan Ashworth is just as responsible for that Brighton team as Potter is. He finds the players, Potter gets them playing. That's how it should work as a progressive club, something we are years away from.

Can we have both?

 

[ossie_21]

Gutted we went for paella tits over an ambitious & progressive manager like Potter.

The managerial cupboard is a bit bare now and we aren’t an attractive proposition. Lampard is about the best we could do and I don’t want him anywhere near us!

1 win in 13 games and 7 losses in the last 10 is abysmal. Plus I think this was the 15th from 19 we’ve conceded first?

 

[Wat Tyler]

Get yer money on Rooney and at the same time Rooney will get on yer Granny.

I will be devastated if we get Rooney, way too risky an appointment at a precarious time

 

[anton66]

He’s literally bringing the house down.
