2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[sageyefc]

This squad, last season, let in 7 (I think) set piece goals all season.

This same squad, after only 10 games, have let in 7 set piece goals.

But apparently Carlo didn’t do any work on the training ground, or at least that’s what people said

Moshiri doesn't appoint foreign based managers

we are skint

Eddie Howe will be one of the favourites for the Everton job if they didn't give it Ferguson but keep telling yourself it'll be someone ace.

Or Rooney, dont forget Wazzer.

Howe at least had Bournemouth playing some good stuff

we aren't getting points and we play eye watering ball - the worst of both worlds

Yeah, he will finish the season stronger, which sets himself up for next season.
Transitional season of stability, it's very important, be good though for once to finish better rather then fizzle out.

Needs injured players back in because this lot are Championship level at best. And he needs two players in January.

Top half finish and we go again next season.

I'm just glad the club took their time "leaving no stone unturned" in the search for a manager before hiring him. Shows how right our board can get it when operating at maximum capacity. Oh hang on....

lol

 

[The Sorting Hat]

Surely only an idiot can be defending Benitez now.

He's right up there with Koeman as one of the worst mistakes this club has made for generations.

 

[MACCA75]

Looking at the fixtures I think it’s very unlikely he’ll make Christmas.

His last appointment was literally a foreign based manager.

It doesn't matter who we get right now really as our hands are tied for a bit (we are not "skint" per se, just cant spend) but as we need a couple of solid seasons to even the ship appointing a divisive manager will continue to be an incredibly stupid appointment.

Benitez looks frazzled, he looks gaunt and grey already! We destroy people here.

 

[COYBL25]

Nice assist by "Toshun".

Just needs a couple of POTTER BALLS for the full house lol

 

[davek]

Second half tonight he galvanised a shower of jelly fish into making a fist of it and they almost snatched an unlikely equaliser.

He needs to show more faith in Gordon, though, in this injury crisis. That would be my one and only complaint about him.

 

[Khalekan]

I said last week we'll be bottom half through most of November.

That will defo happen.

Until we get our only quality players back then the injury crisis will kill us.

There's no chance Benitez is leaving.

That's not an option for the board.

It is, Dave,

It has to be.

If we keep losing in this supine fashion we will be smack dab in the thick of the relegation battle by Christmas.

If that is the case this manager’s head….lany manager at any club in fact…will be on the block.

Sacking ia always an option when a team is struggling and the manager seems powerless to arrest the slide.

Taxi for the FSW. Abysmal performance yet again. 1 win in 7 with another 2 coming up. Out of the league cup to lower league team.
No sign of improvement in our defending from set pieces. This guy is so incompetent and needs to go now

The problem is we have been that rash in decision making no one knows who truly could have turned things around or not - Koeman had a bad set of opening fixtures - maybe he could have turned it round with some investment in January?

Same for Silva?

Alladyce done a solid job with the squad he had results wise.

Ancelotti might have done more this season although with £1.7m to spend I doubt it.

Thats the problem when you hire and fire - a lot of what ifs whereas its clear cut Martinez was a lame duck here - 3 seasons and he just couldn't do it.

 

[Blues Harp]

I almost admire you’re dedication


you’re credibility is long gone

And when his arguments fail he resorts to Insults.
Don't worry
10th
1 win in 7
Cool eh??
