2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[Efcjake]

So what you're saying is we still have 26 matches left. Oh yeah.

And if the form is anything like what we've seen where are we going to end up?

I know you're Benitez' own little Ricky Rider with a jizz-stained Rafael manequin holding up a cardboard cutout of the Champions League he won decades ago under your bed but even you can't say we're playing well.

Aiming at the few who have campaigned ceaselessly against the new manager and gone as far as saying they would continue regardless of how well he does. These results are manna from heaven to such "Evertonians". They will get their wish soon and the real culprits who caused this mess, some present and some gone are absolved or rather forgotten. Rafael is the (well paid) fallguy.

I've never said Pep would make a difference. Not sure what you are banging on about in relation my post you quoted

Bore off

Bore off

Great response ? enjoy today?

 

[irishblue11]

The fact that people are still going out of their way to defend this is embarrassing. We could go down under this manager and still people would say it's not his fault.

 

[Parker]

To be fair this is how beilsa’s teams play. And he’s also had what 3.5 years to get them to play like this.

Our board has picked a manager that doesn’t really play this style.

It's not just the tactics, it's the attitude.

They don't go into games thinking "let's keep the score down". They believe they can win. Where as we went to City where Palace had just won and tried () to keep the score down.

And failed. Obviously.

 

[Baines' left foot]

Still finding it difficult to believe he’s the route of the problem.

Change him for someone else and we’ll just end repeating the process in another year or so. Nothing changes.

He's getting himself sacked by doing a crap job.

None of us want to see us being this crap except the lot of you who think the sun shines out Benitez' arse and he can do no wrong. You're the only ones who are actually happy right now since you've removed any expectations or standards from the club while he is here.

So no names then?

He hasn't been a solution though has he?

I've seen nothing from him to justify keeping him and we never should have given him the job in the first place.

 

[BlueStevie35]

He does that and we get spanked, bloos will say Benitez needs to go anyway.

Park End Da's will break them too

Or the Young lads put the effort in, cause trouble and bring the others in and we actually take the game to City. Imagine that sequence a minute before the 1st goal, instead of Iwobi on the flank hitting the man with Richy open, Richy on the same flank with Simms in space, finding him and Simms scoring

What's carlo got to do with it?

 

[ForeverBlue92]

And this is where we are!

Happy for a point at Brentford!

I despair.

But this is what happens when you have an injury crisis and dont have a squad full of quality replacements!!

You cant go away from home without your only good CF, CM, CB and now two wide players in Gray and Richarlison and expect the other side to just roll over and hand us the 3 points because we once won stuff in the 80's.

Not how it works unfortunately.

 

[Kev The Rat]

Wouldn’t be surprised to find that @ForeverBlue92 amd @Theoneandonly are in the employ of the club.

It’s the only rational explanation really.
