2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[davek]

lol lol lol

So come end of November we will probably be just above the bottom 6. Scary times for me, I’ve absolutely no confidence in this group of players or the manager.

Out of curiosity when was the last time we went 1 win in 8?

Will be 1 in 9 after next week

For whom the bell tolls

He’s done here. Time for whatever contingency plan there is to be put into place now

 

[maccavennie]

Selected the best side he could imo, the quality of football was pretty poor tbh but at least there was effort and desire. The last 15 minutes he got it all wrong again with that midfield as we got completely over run. A better side than Spurs would have seen us off.

Still, a point is better than a defeat but it was turgid stuff, lacking any imagination and a grand.

I don’t think so Dave

The spectre of relegation puts the absolute fear of god into every single premier league board.

Without fail

Not sure you can get any better than that out of that group of players. They are what they are. Sloppy in possession most of the time, don’t do anything with conviction, lose concentration often. I’m not sure they can play much better than that.

lol lol lol

What straw clutching is going on here Dave?

Are we not 1 win in 8 like I said?

 

[Kev The Rat]

Great point mate.

So articulate.

I know mate

Almost as clear as ‘but..but… injuries!!!’

Oh, who said that, other than you? lol

I think they may have used a few more words.

 

[LeeCarsley]

moving forward I'd like a midfield three of Delph-Allan-Doucoure, at least until Dom is back and we can play 4-2-3-1

 

[Del-boy]

Would of took a point before the game. No chance we get anything against City so going to be a long streak of games without a win.

 

[LeeCarsley]

and hopefully that's the end of Holgate's Everton career but i wont hold my breath.

 

[GedMoore]

Think Moshiri pulls the plug after the Brentford game

So your masterplan is to get a less qualified manager in, give him no money to spend and expect him to get this squad performing better with the same players.

Quality plan.

 

[jonnyboy316]

Fingers crossed both Mina and Douc will be available after the international break

 

[Efcjake]

lol lol lol

Only straw clutching I am seeing is people celebrating a point because Benitez didn't lose us a 4th match on the trot.

Imagine giving it the big one to his critics while we are on a run of 1 win in 8. It's laughable.

lol

We are 11th and skint - wake up lad unless we are in freefall in the bottom 3 he's going nowhere.

You think the owners seriously demand top 7 after giving him £1.7 million to spend???

The priority is the stadium being built and the FFP Problems going allowing us to spend again - anything more is a bonus at this stage.

Only the naive and the Anyone But Benitez Brigade cant see it.
