2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[ForeverBlue92]

Well Benitez was out of work...

Depends how you define a failure too really.

This just shows how clueless Moshiri is really though. There isn't even a pattern to these appointments, were any of them really suited to the job here?

Most owners are clueless about football hence why they appoint chairman/CEO's to run the club for them.

Sadly he's kept Kenwright on who's as useful as a chocolate fireguard.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

they definitely did but in this managers first couple Of games those chances went in and there were enough to get something out of that game . In reality though it probably tells us more about the games we won doesn’t it ?

Only for Pickford Wolves could have been out of sight by half time mate.

The squad is light but you can still win games. Poor teams win football matches. Even gravy tits had us 8th.

lol lol lol

It's hollowed out, not light.

 

[nsno-chris]

This is fantasy stuff.

How can the board sack Benitez for handing him players that cant play and giving him no money to replace them? And they obviously see the injury crisis.

Stop kidding yourself. Benitez is here until at least this time next season. AT LEAST.

He decided to lumber us with Rondon for 2 years

he should be nowhere near any part of recruitment

Maybe he needs to hire another fitness coach then as we seem to have more injuries than ever since the last one arrived.

This is based off absolutely nothing. If your career is in football you expect to move around and fairly often.

Yeah if you get a good offer, which the Everton job isn't, no budget, no squad, no interest

Kenwright only made two appointments, one turned out well, the other one did at first...

Moshiri's obsession with Silva was really weird when you think about it.

Of course it’s a good gig. Highly paid, low expectations, low standards to follow, massive pay off to spend lounging unemployed around a pool all day.

I guess the Mosh man could try reconnecting with the fans by appointing a "club legend"....

 

[toffee-L]

Hard to see how he survives much longer. You literally give yourself no chance in games if you can't defend set pieces. The capitulation against Watford completely glossed over the fact that the only reason they were in a position to do that to us is because we twice let them back into the game with set plays.

If he doesn't sort it then he won't see Christmas. Not that he should anyway, he is literally on a hiding to nothing and he never should have been appointed because he will never be wholly supported by the fans and he is an easy shield to hide behind for the invertebrates in the dressing room.

The decision Moshiri made was just baffling. Brands should absolutely be the first one taken out though. No way should that Muppet survive another manager, even if we decide to sack them both on the same day I want to see Brands first out the door. Absolutely unforgivable what that farmhand has done to our squad.

Yeah but Kenwright wanted Moyes, which would of been decent, weve never looked as good under Moshiri as we did under Kenwright

The fella is clueless and dangerous.

 

[Mark barnett]

Shtye tactics playing 442 as if we can play football to play that formation thought he was tactically sound but is proving anything but

 

[Khalekan]

You cant make bad players good. That's the bottom line.

Holgate, Keane and Godfrey. FFS, you cant expect anyone to work with trash like that.

And no manager can legislate for Godfrey and his decision to hand Wolves a 2-0 lead. Tell me how that's Benitez's fault?

Needs his own players in and not the crap handed him.

Dave, you are sawing off the branch on which you are perched.

One the one hand you point out, correctly, that it is hard to get a tune of this squad of misfits.

On the other hand you praise Benitez for “galvanising” them into a much improved secind half display.

Ergo it is possible to get them to play better than they did in that horrible first half.

He should have had them “galvanised” from the getgo…especially in light of last week’s fiasco.

And yes, he can’t legislate for Godfrey‘s role in that second goal.

But he can legislate for the atrocious defending his tactics at set pieces produce.

His set up at corners is killing us every game.

He seems to develop strange crushes on seemingly random men he sees on Sky Sports....
