2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[brucemate]

Can't get optimistic about anything anymore me but taking it game by game.

The gaffer doing great so far under very difficult circumstances.

Players look fit and hungry.

Hopefully a few new faces in by Tuesday, keep momentum up, his judgement has been spot-on so far.

Couldn't have asked for more so far.

Well in Benitez.

In my book, the team looks revitalised from the dross of last season, we are playing with energy and have better movement off the ball.

In reality, that can only be down to Benitez. Also the players seem to respect him and have a better understanding of the gameplan..

Be honest, you don't like seeing us win

yes mate your right, i hate it

happy now?

 

[KindofBlue]

just win baby.

Brilliant so far Rafael. All Everton fans are behind you. All this with a scratch squad. Well done whoo whoo.

Doing well so far but Leeds has been the only decent team we've played, real test is seeing how we perform against City, Chelsea, Utd & the RS

To be fair for different reasons, all our games could have been banana skins. Our crap home record, first match in charge with a divisive manager. Leeds playing in front of a full house in the prem for like 16 years and Brighton have started the season very well.

Not the toughest start of course but not simple given the circumstances.

The main question I have is why does his name auto correct when you do it with the four letters.

Very, we won and you're annoyed

Benitez is a top, top coach and wichever Blue is saying otherwise oughta get his head examined. What a difference, even with Carlos team. We showed cohones, cohesion. And with this group of players!! Better pray Real dont sack carlo and come for our new manager. Or, if Brands is worth his salt, put a hige, 400 million pricetag on benitez.

Let's not get carried away. He has done well so far but it's long way to go.

 

[GoSoccerToffees]

What a manager.

 

[zukai12_]

Doing very well so far

Appeal to our matchday absenting supporters who have declared themselves lost to the club while Benitez is here:

Swallow your pride; come back into the fold, and start getting behind this manager and his team.

He was my choice of available managers. Early days, but I like everything so far.

 

[Dixie1sixty]

A few things I'm liking so far since he's come in:

1. Our shape when out of possession is excellent.
2. We are so much more direct and it's refreshing.
3. The subs have been spot on in every game.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

@Kev The Rat You must feel like a right muppet with each goal that goes in.

 

[Ufotone]

Impressive start Benitez

Players looking like they mean business
