Benitez shouldn't have to coach Godfrey and Keane how to hold onto the ball or how to mark a ball in the air. These are premier league defenders. I don't know if I can blame Benitez for the constant mishaps on defense. Some of the blame must go to him but it seems as though our defenders are incapable of any defensive formation other than Ancelotti and Allardyce's 'sit as deep as possible'

Keane is uncoachable tbf, as soon as fans show up in stadiums he fills his undies.
 
I just don't see that being true mate. They had to have known. These things take time and the rumour was there in the media before the season ended.

I mean, we signed Keane off the basis that he looked good for burnley who play that way. That's his skill set. Hardly surprising he doesn't look great playing In a way that doesn't suit him. Managers need to play to what they have available.
 

Benitez poor management of the defence has had a big and negative impact on all of our defenders.

He was the England under 21 captain on merit.

Southgate saw enough under Ancelotti to call him up.


The press described him as a future England captain when we bought him.


And you agreed with everyone else. ?

But that was before you fell in love. ?



You saying its becuase of Benitez why Godfrey is now a waste of space? Make your mind up, a while back it was covid?
 

Of course it does, if a fan base instantly wants to gets on a players back, or manager for that matter, they dont have much desire for the team to succeed.
The idea of being a supporter is to support the team, not be the opponents 12th man.

This is nonsense to be honest. If he can’t play in front of crowds he shouldn’t be a professional footballer.

They can all play in front of crowds but our crowd is diffrent, they get paid even if we get beat. Why do you think towards the end Lukaku had no interest in interacting with the crowd when he scored but would celebrate with other players if they did, he was happy for them, but didnt care about us.
