A bin bag full of mince could be put to a lot more use

Probably

Are you saying his treatment of King was justified?

What treatment are you talking about?

 

[irishblue11]

The amount of fans on twitter saying 'we'll be fine when we have our full team back', 'its not Rafas fault, he been dealt a bad hand' is worrying. Have people been brainwashed that much that we're supposed to accept defeats and poor performances until injured players come back. What happens then if someone else gets injured do we go back to accepting defeats?

The worry is the likes of DCL/Doucoure coming back from a long lay off will need easing in and come Dec the games will be coming thick and fast every 3-4 days.

Benitez will be targetting a solid 2nd half of the season as up until the new year he'll be struggling to get points on the board with this rag tag bunch of misfits.

We are relying on kin Fabian Delph at present lol lol lol

Needs funds in January. At least £30M.

If we end up in a relegation battle because players are injured does he still get a free pass? I’ve seen Allardyce grind out results with a way worse team.

You dont accept them, you understand how they happen. And you get behind the available players and their manager to try and get us from 11th and into the top half.

These injuries do matter you know.

You are vastly over rating this team. A team put together by an utter fake like Brands.

Last time Allardyce worked with what was left over from Moyes, Martinez and the few Koeman signings that worked out. If he came in here tomorrow he'd throw the towel in trying to get a tune out of the pathetic bunch of cowards Brands has lumbered us with.

Still waiting. Is the "rag tag bunch of misfits" he picked against Watford, or even yesterday, a better team than the one you shared that allardyce picked?

Who do you think is the better manager, benitez or allardyce?

Benitez is obviously the better manager but Alladyce did a solid job with a worse side.

You cant compare the two when Benitez has managed just 11 games you rascal.

Fat Sam played Pickford; Keane; Holgate; Davies; DCL - and he even played Kenny

He even played Cuco Martina and still managed to pick up results

Good god, Fat Sam is more tactically aware than Rafata

Jesus Christ

You’re vastly - and likely purposely - ignoring how much worse that team was.

You cant judge the two when Benitez has managed just 11 games you rascal.

So you are saying benitez is the better manager and has the better side (despite the injuries).

Yet allardyce was able to coach worse players like martina and williams how to defend in the space of weeks, and benitez hasn't been able to coach Keane, Godfrey, digne, Coleman in 6 months. Allardyce was getting results with a worse squad, yet benitez is 1 win in 8.

Yet you are making excuse after excuse for him.

The Echo podcast nailed it when they said it's really 3 players out of the 1st 11. Take City out of it and they should be doing better and picking up points in those other matches, end of.

The Benitez Brigade are so entrenched in their positions they can't admit what we're seeing. It was obvious this would go bad, it happened quicker than I anticipated. They can't back down now because if they do its admitting that all of their fighting with other blues over a kopite who insulted us was for nothing at all.

Benitez is a Champions League, La Liga, Europa League, FA Cup & Copa Italia winning manager.

Anyone claiming he is a bad manager doesn't know their arse from their elbow tbh.

Alladyce could only dream of a CV like that although I doth my cap to Big Sam for a solid job that he did here - was treated awfully by Moshiri & the fanbase.
