2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[tommye]

he doesnt coach, doesnt manage. just chucks the players under the bus.

Seems to be his MO so far

He isn't expected to. As fb92 explained yesterday.

 

[Thomasc]

That's all in the teeth of an injury crisis.

We're mid-table, not rock bottom.

Mina, DCL and Doucoure would make a massive difference to this side, that is undeniable.
Gomes is useful off the bench if used correctly too.

As much as I don’t like this bloke and think he is the wrong man for the club, I do cut him some slack based on the injury situation he has found himself in.

Ancelotti had earned more time though by doing well in the 6 months after he took charge, when he pulled us out of the mire from around the relegation places.

He didn't have us circling the relegation places 15 games in to his leadership.

11th FFS lol

 

[Evri]

At least he is honest

 

[Marius57]

11th FFS lol

Let's see where we are in 3 games time

We're 11th.

 

[Marius57]

We're 11th.

Yeah, 12 games in to his leadership. Let's see where we are in 3 games times. We are literally 4 points from being 17th.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Let's see where we are in 3 games time

DCL
Doucoure
Mina
Gray
Gomes
Richarlison (suspended)

Come on who's doing anything with those missing from the side/squad? No manager could.

You can argue its unacceptable but its still not the managers fault. We simply do not have a squad that can cope with 4-5 first teamers missing.

Same amount of points from 6th.

If you had criticism after he loses the next three games, then maybe I'd find you rational - but not before a ball is kicked, which has been the issue from word go with you lot and Benitez.

So you would be happy being 17th in 3 games time?

As you've said, we could possibly scrape a point vs brentford, so you think it's unlikely.

Do you think we take 3 points from Liverpool or arsenal? (Arsenal who until this weekend were the form team in the league)

 

[MikeH72]

Going down under this man

Make the change before it’s too late

We’re going down under Moshiri regardless of who the manager currently is. We will not be a Premier League club in 5 years time.

You said we were circling the relegation places 11 games in.

Where we are in 3 games time is an irrelevance.

How many points do you realistically think we take from the next 3 games?

Even his biggest fans have said we will possibly only scrape a point vs brentford. Then Liverpool and then arsenal.
