Sacking Benitez is not the answer. Period. The club, the players and us fans need stability right now, above all else. We have had Martinez, Koeman, Allardyce, Silva, Ancelotti and now Benitez (not counting Unsworth and Ferguson). All with different ideas how to train, approach games and tactics. Imagine the situation in your own job. Every couple of years the boss is replaced and he starts to implement his own ideas. Just as you have started to unlearn previous habits and started to get a hang of the new approaches the boss is fired and replaced. And the whole thing starts over. I think that at the moment there is no base to build the tactics on. Number one job for Benitez is to lay the ground work and number one job for the owner and the board is to give him time to do that. Mid table finish is the best we can hope this season. We need to get to the basics and build from that.
The difference between us and the top clubs who regulary replace managers every two to three years is that Everton does not have the luxury to drop the players who the manager doesnt like without it affecting the team. Tuchel can drop Werner or Lukaku without hesitation and froze out Saul. Benitez gets rid of Kean and James, but there is no one to replace them. Benitez is slowly retraining the players and turning them into his players rather than buying a squad full of new players. Its going to take time, but we have to be patient. We have no choice.
