2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[windymiller]

Maybe not. We might have to be patient to get past this unprecedented injury criis. But the manager can and has show himself able to get points with a fit first team, so it only makes sense ton stick with him.

Is this supposed to be an achievement? Any manager who can't pick up points with a fully fit PL first team has no business being in football. You have set the bar so low it is unbelievable.

"young players doesn't mean good players, it means young players." Jeeez

 

[Zatara]

It really won't. Even if Ten Hag goes to United and does a job, he's doing so at United - a club with vast resources and starting from a poor position. It's a job nearly any upcoming manager would want right now.

None of them would do a thing at Everton. It's a completely different scenario. I note all of those managers except flavour of the month Potter manage in limited leagues at the top clubs; that's not the job here.

Youve no idea on Ruben Amorim have you lol

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Positive about Doucoure and Gray at least.

 

[Zatara]

Positive about Doucoure and Gray at least.

Extremely positive news.

The 36 year old with fewer than 100 games in management.

So young, inexperienced... How very Zat. Very much your type.

And you honestly think you could parachute him in at Everton and he'd do a sodding thing. Amazing.

He had the chance to at least suggest Simms might get a shout.

Instead 'we have Rondon and Tosun available, this is a game for experienced strikers, they will get more chances to play than the youngster'

Rondon and Tosun. Inspiring.

That doesn't make sense. The quality of our fully fit first team is capabable of beating about 11 or 12 other PL clubs.

You must think more of these players than most of our fans do. They aren't that good overall. £500M has been wasted in 6 years. That really is the continuing major issue, not any manager.

I sense a softening in the expected loss brigade today. Sunday is approaching and the cracks are appearing.

Not one thing he does is positive.

He's going absolutely nowhere mate.

If people had sense they would have realised it by now.

You do realise, that when he inevitably gets the heave ho, that you’re going into to be on the end of the biggest vaulting known to mankind, don’t you ?

This is a really difficult thing for me to say, but you make the likes of @Frang and @Ashtonian look positively sane.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

No see I disagree here. If he loses every game from now up to and including Burnley on 26 December then he's basically toast. You can stretch that to Newcastle on the 30th at a push, and if he loses that there's pretty much no way he survives.

And that's a very possible scenario. 50/50 odds on it happening IMO. But you are right in that the next two games won't decide it. We're getting hammered by Liverpool regardless of who is in charge, could play that game 100 times with the same outcome.

The clue is in his demeanor - Martinez/Koeman/Silva all looked like blokes on death row before they were given the bullet - grey/bald with stress, unshaven, suitcases under their eyes never mind bags.

This fella is laughing, joking, talking about the 2nd half of the season improving.

He's going nowhere anytime soon.

He's literally just said he's going to play Rondon or friggin Tosun over Simms. What have either of those two done to deserve a chance over Simms?

 

[Zatara]

Come on mate you know as well as I do not one world class manager or even a step below around Carlo's level would take on a job with our squad and only £1.7 million to strengthen it.

Glad you admit Benitez is at minimum 2 levels below Ancelotti.

Finally.

Ruben Amorim (Sporting)
Graham Potter (Brighton)
Marcelo Gallardo (River Plate)
Erik Ten Hag (Ajax)

"A murderers row of nobodies"


This one will come back to haunt you Tubey.

Save these for me please....

And if im right and he is still here come the seasons end are you and your band of merry men going to get on your knees and admit I was right?

I dont want no goal posts changing you've all gone balls deep on the Rafael is getting sacked in the morning train - the vaults will be waiting...
