2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[Efcjake]

They are rubbish. Got thumped by a bang average united side last week.

A point is ok nothing more

That was the worst I have seen Spurs play against us in years.

Usually Kane and Son run the show against us but Kane didn't look arsed all day and Son was crap.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Best striker, midfielder and defender.

Yeah, I'm sure Liverpool would do great without Salah, Mane and Van Dyke.

And Spurs would do great without Kane and Son.

Its unfortunate but its not a crisis.

Its not enough to make 1 win in 8 ok. We are underperforming although deserved better today.

Spurs have coped without son or kane on various occasions. We cant cope with 2 or 3 out. Thats not good enough.

There is no chance of people being sensible here. Without our best defender, midfielder and last seasons top scorer against a team with a new manager bounce - also considered one of the best in the game, yet he drew with a garbage managed (so they would like to believe) Everton.

I get that there's some disappointed that they've been denied a blood bath had Everto lost today. But we'll see dark days after the international break too and they'll get their chance then to vent.

Me and I think the vast majority of other blues are factoring that in and looking to get players out injured back in and a couple through the door to judge Benitez in the second half of the season.

As said, so far he's done ok. Fair-to-middling. I expect us to slump after the break but bounce back during the Christmas period and after the new year.

The season is a marathon. Let's see where we are after 26 miles and not the first 8-9 miles.

They're not relegation stats. They get you midtable.

The inujries have coincided with the 3 on the spin losses. They cant be downgraded.

Those stats are a lot closer to the bottom rather than the top.

You can't mention all the games then change to the last three. It's 1 win in 8 now with 5 points in the bag.

If this was any of the other previous managers it wouldn't be deemed good enough. They've all previously had
"an injury crisis".

There's disappointment today because we were denied an obvious penalty in a tight game

Nothing to do with people wanting to get beat

Avoided the expected defeat.

No. It's 4 losses in 11 games with 15 points gained.

So you can understand the feeling when posters feel that benitez should never have been made our manager.

So just because they want him sacked doesn't mean they want us to lose.

No, I cant, Rafael has the CV, Sila didnt.
Posters are questioning him and making out HE is a problem at Everton and change will benefit us.
It wont, we have to stick with Benitez, the problems run much deeper and have been there for years.

"Respect the point"
To one of the most crap Spurs teams ever seen.

Fans like you are a bad joke.

I take it you missed the 90s and early 00s

 

[davek]

Our form is not good enough

11th is not good enough

That's right.

But it's 11 games into the season and we have massive injuries.

It's ok. Not great. Just ok.

We can and will get better.

We cant be swapping and changing managers at the drop of a hat.

That wont happen this season, so anyone hoping for it better get that into their heads and live with it.

Shifted goal posts (check). Completely avoid the rest of my post ( check). Getting nowhere here Dave let's just agree to Completely disagree. You think it's good enough I don't...

 

[banno]

And I imagine people wanted him sacked for that form.

No not really 'Give him time' was the main shout. Moyes had those runs in the majority of his seasons then followed by a few wins on the bounce and all was rosey yet again

I will turn on Rafael if\when it's obvious he's not up to the job.

11 games isn't a fair amount of time to judge any manager. He hasn't had money to spend and we know the squad has issues.

There's stuff I've not been happy with so far but he deserves the chance to learn from his mistakes.

If we get someone else in they won't have money to spend, without selling, so not convinced that's a great idea unless we are in real trouble.

I dont think that. I said it's ok.

How am I wrong here?

 

[Blueclouds]

Not judging any manager with this squad.
