Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

1 million per cent this.

It looks to me that he has lost the dressing room mate. Even the better performance last week against Arsenal was the players responding to the fantastic crowd. He has been unlucky with injuries, but so has every other manager over the last 10 years.. The performances and results over the last 10 weeks is relegation form. I am not usually one to jerk ones knee, but mine's bobbing up and down like Thumper the rabbit at the moment. Unlike Jazzy, I do believe we are in danger of relegation. At the moment i don't see 3 teams worse than us, and we don't have enough points in the locker to play with. We have a tough remainder of December coming up and I can see us in the bottom 3 by the end of it. For me, he has to go now. Immediately.

Hope you're doing OK Messy and my post cheered you up. lol

Norwich and Newcastle are worse than us BUT we have a bad habit of gifting Newcastle points. They would have been relegated last season if it wasn't for the 6 points we gave them - if I remember correctly. Struggling to think of a 3rd team worse than us.
How were the sausages? Lived up to the hype?

Palace free kick, they gain possession. Another free kick. Don't take advantage of it. Pickford boots it upfield. Gomes down injured. Arm in the face from a Palace player - not intentional.

Benitez looks concerned, wearing a lovely suit but still manages to look like the product of an illicit affair between Capt Mainwaring and a Minion. Viera looking very chic and French in a hoodie.

Hands down to you both. I couldn’t have done as such a great job with what sounded like a very bad game for us. I saw the score yesterday but had not watched or read about the highlights so through your post I was able to read what happened. Why can’t our players be consistent from one game to the next :( and what in the heck is Benitez doing pushing some of our best players to the side? I’m sure Richy wasn’t very happy getting sub for Rondon even if he scored a goal for us (which I’m very happy and hope his run continues) but Richy is one of our top players and needs to be shown love no rejection. Anyway, now I’m really glad that I missed the game for a Costa Rican adventure.

Maybe. But you wouldn't have got such gutter language from Sassy. ;)

Ange and Fred. I’m afraid you may have the wrong impression of me. I’m a Colombian bird that has been influenced by an American hubby, in a culture where gutter language is part of every day life. So while I don’t use the it here at the forum I’m far from being a lady, well at least in that sense lol

Benetiz has to go. Isolating one off our main players he can't even say its improved things!

Good morning, darling @messymascot and friends. It is great to hear again from you and I totally agree that isolating our main players is the wrong strategy. But I’m afraid that Benitez is not going to be let go yet. After Brands firing/resignation I have the feeling that Moshiri has made up his mind to stick with Benitez not matter what. But maybe the possibility of relegation, before moving to a new stadium, changes his mind.

Benitez apparently saying that he was protecting Richarlisons injured calf.

Looking at his reaction when subbed I'm not sure Richy agreed.

I think you may be right.

I agree with all of that Anj.

However Newcastle will undoubtedly make big moves in the market in January. Will it be too little too late? Probably.

@Barnfred 55 Am I totally confident we will stay up ? No , we could easily implode even more than we have since September. However my gut feeling is that Norwich Newcastle and Burnley will go.

Having said all that I think we will get battered at Chelsea , lose to Leicester , fail to win at Turf Moor and if we then lose to Newcastle it will be game over for Benitez.

A very very sad episode in the clubs history. Totally avoidable and totally down to Moshiri.
