2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[Saint Domingo]

Typical Benitez blaming anyone but himself and throwing people under the bus....gobshite

It’s him vs the players. Why would anyone pick the players? He should throw Coleman under the bus, he’s a completely useless cretin who is trying to get yet another manager fired.

 

[Runub]

There are no excuses. Admittedly he has meagre resources but he deploys said meagre resources in the most bizarre way possible. Completely clueless

There has to be a breaking point. If the manager is fired now, these players will just do it again to the next one. They think they are the club. Coleman, Keane, Digne, Holgate, Davies, Iwobi, Siggurdson, Delph laughs and jokes all around all the time. They don’t want the party to end. They got a miracle when Ancelotti left ad for some of them their time was up. Then they’ve gone straight back to playing this game again of getting a manager out before he can turf them out. They’ll put in a minor stint for the new manager just enough for the club to think ‘maybe we don’t need to spend money on a RB this summer’. Cue the one year extensions all round, then the cycle repeats. If that’s what people want then fine, have at it.

Never once heard of these 3 doing anything of the sort

How many managers before we say its the players though? If we sack Benitez soon (I don't think we will) a new manager will get us that new manager bounce then DCL will come back and we'll look safe again and maybe get close to the European places but ultimately finish 10th (where I think we'll roughly end up with Benitez anyway) and then these players will down tools and look lost again under the new guy, rinse and repeat. We'll pick up points when DCL is back no matter the manager. Recruitment is our biggest issue - I don't think any manager in world football could make us a European side.

We do say it's the players?? All the friggin time. But the managers set the players up, they take them in training day in, day out. They work on the tactics and tell the players what to do and where to be.

We literally were 4th in March mate and then Doucoure got injured. We were still in Europe with 4-6 more points last season that we should have got easy. Carlo Ancelotti should have made us a European side. In fact, his points total of 59 would get 7th in most of the Premier League seasons.

The squad is crap, yes, but they are being managed by a very, very bad manager.

 

[Efcjake]

Worst form in 22 years and they're sitting here telling everyone it will all be fine.

It's a cult of personality. There's nothing backing the man up. Just admit you were wrong and he has us playing crap lads. It will be alright to say you were wrong.

 

[COYBL25]

As expected.

As said: Benitez - looks like he's been promised survival from this game.

The owner at least owes him that after not backing him with cash.

Yet the bookies are paying out already.

I mean, what do they know, they just love giving money away for nothing.

Walking dead interview.

 

[EFCccc]

How many were out tonight then? 5/10/ the full squad

Defending the kopite

It wouldn’t matter if we had everyone back tonight. We are miles of the quality of Liverpool. They are smashing 4 goals every bloody game.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Blaming others as usual

Pathetic

 

[JimmyK]

Seems very negative in here considering we all wanted us to lose.

That's the vicious circle in a nutshell mate.

We need a manager to be backed through a crisis to get at sorting this toxic club out.

I mean, what do they know ?

Never seen a bookie pay out when somethings not done

I actually agree he should go out swinging and call out every single person at the club from the board to all the players.

lol lol lol lol lol

You're hilarious.

 

[Goat]

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

Doesnt look like.
