2021/22 Rafael Benitez

Right. Well don’t know how to reply to that tbh. Might start using that when I get in trouble off the wife. ‘It was Brands’ I’ll say

No mate, already tried that one, worked no better than any of the other excuses I’ve used.

DCL
Richarlison
Doucoure
Mina

Our 4 best players and the spine of the team all out injured when our form started to nose dive.

Same as it did last season.

Stop blaming the manager bhoys and accept this squad is very poor when we lose the above players.

Godfrey being hammered with Long COVID hasn't helped either.

I do agree its going to get worse before it gets better, and it is a worry, but the state of the whole club is the big picture, which has been rotting for years

First step we can take is getting a manager in the entire support can get behind.

Regardless of the injuries, going 1 win in 8 and getting turned over 5-2 from 2-1 up at home by a promoted team is unacceptable.

It shouldn't be impossible to win a match with a few injuries. Richarlison has been back about 3 games as well. Face it, the manager is hopeless.

But we tried that with Carlo, and it didnt work, i would say most were behind Koeman too, maybe too a lesser extent.

But Benitez wasn't on the pitch mate!
People need to start treating our players like professional footballers and not like babies that need their hand held 24/7.

No manager can prevent Michael Keane from being bullied by Josh King - only Michael Keane can.

Was working better than than this one.

Don't remember going 1 win in 8 under Carlo.

What a daft shout that is.

Of course he wasn't on the pitch, but he's responsible and accountable for the players he puts out there.

If the manager isn't responsible for that then God knows what he does besides put the cones out for training.

Seeing reports on other sites that the fall outs between the players and Benitez has already started.

Won't be long now.

I remember that. Between West Brom away and West Ham away last season March-May we went 1 win in 8 in all comps. Between the home derby last season and the Chelsea game at home October-December we went 1 win in 7.

But we've had 4 other managers other than Benitez try and fail to achieve europe with this group of players minus Lukaku on fire in Koemans first year - how many do we need to hire and fire before we start looking at the players?

It what hes had a history of doing, falling out with players, boards, causing conflicts throughout clubs

As many as it takes to get them playing.

It's the one time I'm backing the players downing tools over a manager.

He clearly doesn't have a clue and they know it.

I certainly hope that disagreements have started, it is well past time that some of these players find out what is expected of them if they want to play for us and this manager.

Hopefully it will not be a holiday resort much longer
