2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[BirkenheadBlue]

@davek et al
Worst run of results in 22 years
Most goals conceded in a home derby in nearly 40 years.

But let’s put that aside.

Thoughts on him setting up in a wide open 442 against that lot?
Thoughts on him steadfastly refusing to correct that error until finally bringing on Delph in place of a winger to sure up a loss?

If only someone from the board could explain this appointment. Just tell us why they thought this was a good idea. Some of us would just love to know.

He lived 10 minutes round the corner mate

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

He’s not the only problem, but he’s one of the problems. I didn’t want him, but like any Everton manager I backed him because you want your team to win. His current run is totally unacceptable. He should never have been employed and he has to go. The problem is half the board need to go with him.

A cynical man might suppose that they wanted to unite the fans against a common enemy to deflect any blame from themselves.

 

[MikeH72]

We were down 2 starters.
Neither of whom started when we beat them last season. Allan also missed that one.

Probably explains why we won.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Paddy Power already paid out on him getting the sack if not already mentioned

 

[BlueStevie35]

Let’s get this right for those claiming otherwise, not a single blue right now is ‘buzzing’ over losing tonight, everyone is and should be rightly pissed off that we’ve gone down so damn meekly tonight, we or rather he played right into their hands with that set up

 

[Kev50]

We are getting embarrassed down the flanks, leaking goals due to poor set up and not creating chances. DCL will just be standing up front on his own instead. Mina cant be relied on to be fit anyway. Also what happens if DCL's injury continues to niggle him?

What else are we missing?

but for a poxy goal we'd have got the same result as Liverpool at Brentford. Liverpool would have beaten anyone tonight. We're just not getting the rub of the green at the moment, but it will turn. Once we can drop Godfrey for Mina, it will make a huge difference just like Doug has improved us. Once we get DCL back as well, we'll be fine

 

[Bungle]

I'd imagine Farhads next move is probably to appoint Gylfi as interim manager.

Looking forward to the galloot coming in are we?

Yep got my money just now

 

[BlueToff]

Probably explains why we won.

He looked good at the start of the season when we actually seemed to have a bit of a shape.

Shock horror you take Doucoure out of the team and he looks totally knackered.

He'll probably go down as a bad signing Allan, but he didn't have to be. He was a brilliant player at Napoli in a midfield three, actually allowed to do what he was good at.

Both Ancelotti and Benitez have exposed his flaws and not played to any of his strengths.

Anyway, Benitez doesn't play to any of their strengths, so that's kind of an issue.

 

[Efcjake]

A matter of waiting now. That's all it is.

The board will keck themselves at the abuse they got today and they will persuade Moshiri he has to do it.

The patsy's shelf life has expired faster than he wanted it to but now he has to do something quickly before the scrutiny on him and the board picks up volume.

 

[StuBarlow]

I'm disappointed today. The RS only played at 25% of their normal effort.

They seem happy to house their old reject in the nursing home that is Everton.... It's not the Everton way. It's jobs for ex-blues not ex-reds.

I’ve just been paid out on the waiter being sacked Dave
