Benitez Legacy - reflections

[thirdmantackle]

He was jammy to get a good start. Otherwise we'd be bottom

He was a problem though. Everyone accepted that there were other issues. He led our form to be rock bottom and for all morale to be destroyed and removed from the club. He spent 6 months making the defence become so abject, and the attack become so lifeless.

Takes a long time to overturn that, even with quality players, let alone the average bunch we have.

Who do you support?

 

[magicjuan]

He's a great coach. That wasn't the problem.

Where's me wash board eh? Have you seen it ?

8 points off top 10, 6 clear of relegation when Rafael left.

We're now 13 off top 10 and level on points with the relegation zone.

We were having a nosebleed we were falling that fast you absolute plum

 

[Theoneandonly]

Yes he was, that's why he got sacked.

He was a scapegoat.

Yet we were better at attacking and better defensively than what Lampard is so far. What is it now 3 games without a shot on target since Frank came here.

I thi k we would have got at least a draw against Villa and Newcastle. Rafael facing Gerrard and his former club would have spurn him on. I would have fancied us getting something out of the City and Spurs games under Rafael too as he did earlier this season. Rafael was always better at getting points against bigger teams than he was smaller teams.

We may not have been top 19 right now under Rafael, but I doubt we would have been level on points with the drop zone.

So we would have been 20th? Great. Wish we had kept him then ?

No evidence to suggest we would have got anything from the games you suggest, all the evidence to say we would have lost anyway, due to our form being the worst in the league.

Who do you support?

I thought @RickyRyder was mental for his Gylfi obsession.

@Theoneandonly is on another planet; actually trying to pass himself off as a blue as well

How will he, he left with half a season left to play and 6 points clear of the relegation. If we get relegated, he can't be held responsible.

It's interesting that on social media fans of other clubs are all saying that we shouldn't have sacked Rafael and if we are relegated it will be because we sacked Rafael.

You’re a complete failure of a human being, do you know that? An absolutely catastrophic mess. I can’t believe you exist and possess the ability to type words on a keyboard.

The greatest koptie in their history

No they aren't.
