2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[degsy]

Early days yet, but, up to now, I am not unimpressed

One Game at a Time.

Benny and the Blues...(he seems to know the cries)

Hey kids, plug into the faithless
Maybe they're blinded
But Bennie makes them ageless
We shall survive, let us take ourselves along
Where we fight our parents out in the streets
To find who's right and who's wrong

Edit; did I mention 1 game at a time?

 

[nsno-chris]

Played 6, won 5, drew 1. 19 scored, 3 conceded. Most goals in Europe.

Sacked after 6 months

Behave mate. Zidane best manager in the world. Now I know you're wumming.

yes, I mean it’s not like he won the Champions League three times in a row and spent almost nothing in the process

 

[Zatara]

So you think Moshiri said, "top 2 for Xmas then do whatever you want in the new year."

Those targets would explain Ancelotti.

I wasnt aware that Xmas moved to end of November

Played 6, won 5, drew 1. 19 scored, 3 conceded. Most goals in Europe.

PSG, Shakhtar and Malmö were in that group, and ten of the goals were against Malmö (0-2 and 8-0)

"You are not unimpressed"...
Tough Love praise; I like it...

No. The squad is so weak we need to get alot of points on the board before XMAS busy schedule

You mentioned Xmas

 

[FrenchDarrenBent]

So your up the duff missus is better than Rafael

No she isnt. He got sacked due to player power.

You wont see Zidane at any other club, he got found out a bit during his last season and was notoriously reliant on his Backroom staff (already employed by Madrid).
He will never take a Lyon, Dortmund, Sevilla, Tottenham, Ac Milan-type job because he simply can't do it.
Benitez can't do Real, Barça or PSG because of he is a controlfreak, not because he's not intelligent enough.

Foreverblue92 = bear poker

@ForeverBlue92? He'll give anything a poke (allegedly)

Personally I'm terrified about central midfield. We're effectively two luxury players down, but same as last season, the depth is shocking in the engine room dept. There's no true reliable options beyond Doucoure and Allan.

Can Gbamin help us out here? I hear he is training well and looking sharp as a tack; a very silky mover.

it would certainly make more sense to find out if he could instead of spending money on a backup for Allan.

Oh, I'd absolutely love him to. We need him to come good for one. Not least for him and his career either. I deliberately discounted him though because he's had no luck at all. Fingers crossed.

You can call him underwhelming all you like, see if you're still saying that after he achieves more than Moyes. People are already predicting that he will be our most successful manager since Kendall.

Apart from Joe they have all failed so it wont be hard, only Everton people win us stuff, and Rafael is an Everton man

 

[Theoneandonly]

Yeah its not like Rafael left him with the best defensive midfielder in the world. Lucas Vasquez. Kovacic. Marco Asensio. Danilo. Etc.

already predicting that he will be our most successful manager since Kendall.

He’s beaten Southampton, Huddersfield and Brighton.

Steady.
