This has nothing to do with injuries and everything to do with how we set up and what our game plan is. That is 100% on the manager but once you keep inviting pressure onto you, you are bound to end up losing games, there will just be no other outcome. We average 337 passes per game, our opposition averages 542, so we play 200 less passes per game on average, that has nothing to do with injuries or squads or anything else and has everything to do with an outdated philosophy and an inability to adapt to the modern game.
That's a lie.Ancelotti never had the injuries to contend with.
That shouldn’t mean the tactics have to change though, we’ve got talented players coming through who should have been given chances during the games we’ve had injuries, instead he’s stuck with Rondon, Iwobi and Davies to name 3, we may have picked up more points putting some young fire into an injury hit squadI agree. But the earlky part of the season with DCL and Richarlison available wasn't there later on for those games.
It's not just today though is it mate?How can you look at those players available and expect a result at City?
HOW?!
He had the injuries outside of the CBs, and whenever we got this thin we were just plain bad. Then we'd get a couple of guys healthy, get some results, pick up a couple more injuries, and go right back to being plain bad.Ancelotti never had the injuries to contend with.
I said all last month and beyond we'll spend a good spell in the bottom half but we have to get through to January and also wait for injuries to get sorted.your right here dave. thing is theres an awful lot of fans that cant see this and are too quick to blame the manager because of who he managed its the easy option for them.wont admit theres not many managers who could get a tune from the squad we have. they dismiss the notion that its not he that signed the squad of over paid gutless players at his disposal but reckon its he who should be able to make a 1 stringed guitar sound like clapton. 1 player rondon is tripe thats a big error on Rafael. gray and townsend have been decent and at least contributed to the team. the rest are mainly garbage that previous managers got in and were stuck with as the people at the top signed the cheques and negotiated the contracts long deals big money for less than average players who we cant move on. going to take a good while to fix the last few years mistakes.

Come on. Be serious. Gordon is a one off.That shouldn’t mean the tactics have to change though, we’ve got talented players coming through who should have been given chances during the games we’ve had injuries, instead he’s stuck with Rondon, Iwobi and Davies to name 3, we may have picked up more points putting some young fire into an injury hit squad
The only disgrace is Evertonians willfully ignoring a run of 1 win in 9 games to back a kopite dinosaur manager out of his depth.I said all last month and beyond we'll spend a good spell in the bottom half but we have to get through to January and also wait for injuries to get sorted.
What we're seeing is a stampede by the anti-Benitez brigade to use this period to force a dismissal...because they know it's the only chance they'll get after matters settle down.
It's a disgrace and quite pitiful.
