2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[BlueStevie35]

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

No one did ffs

 

[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.

You`re starting to sound like Comical Ali, just as the troops rolled into Bagdad.

You`re better than this.

 

[BlueToff]

I want him to turn it around, I want him to at least steady the ship. It'd be good to just get through the season.

But honestly, I don't think he can, because he's crap.

 

[blue to the bone]

Yet the bookies are paying out already.

I mean, what do they know ?

Would not read much into that through.
They would have taken next to nothing on that market . It's a publicity stunt .

 

[tsubaki]

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

that would be like Trump calling out everyone at Fox

 

[JimmyK]

No one did ffs

Yes that was my point stevie.

Bookmarked for tomorrow morning

Might well be gone.

But I'm telling you it sounds and feels like Benitez is getting more time. And rightly so.

I feel like the 500 million wasted in the last 7 years has led us to this point, I dint know if he should should sacked part of me thinks the rot runs deeper but regardless it probably doesn't matter as the club is rotten to the core. Atleast under Moyes the players cared

I don't think he is a great manager, but I'll throw a few things:

1. Was given 1.7m to spend in the Summer
2. Has had our 20+ goal scorer out for most of the season, plus our best CB and best CM for large chunks
3. Inherited one of the worst squads in the league
4. He doesn't miss kick the ball, Coleman does.

Now, what I don't like from him:

1. Not backing youth
2. Inflexible system - it is not working, where is plan B or C
3. Uninspiring on the touchline - so passive

Overall, do we sack another manager and the replacement has to contend with the first four points above? What changes. The joint needs some form of stability.

It's all a mess, and Rafael has to be blamed for a big part of it, but his cards have been dealt incredibly poorly.

He needs to find a better captain. The Irishman is a complete fraud. He loves the rallying cries and whatnot, but he’s not been anywhere near good enough for years.

Add to that that he’s not a leader and you have a recipe for disaster

Great man management to single out the one player who he should be using to enforce and support his ideas to the players on the pitch.

I'm sure Coleman will be happy to have been singled out there and I'm sure the other players will respond well to it too. It was very selfless of him to do that for Coleman and not accept any responsibility for the defeat himself. Like a Spanish Jesus with a fondness for too much tapas and a complete lack of football tactics ready for the modern century.

 

[jerseytoffee]

Didn’t want him before he came, but was happy to give him a chance when he got here.

His tactics have been awful bar a few good spells in games earlier this season... needs to go, he isn’t the answer

Along with Brands

 

[Toast]

As of seconds ago..

 

[Saint Domingo]

Never once heard of these 3 doing anything of the sort

You joking? They’re laughing in the faces of every Everton fan almost every time they come on the pitch. Keane and Coleman have played more through balls to opposition strikers than our own this season. Do they ever look bothered by it? Do they ever do anything to improve? No, they just waddle back out for the next match completely inept at playing football and do it all again.

Coleman has been at a supposed top level institute for getting on 13 years now and he still can’t use his left foot or cross a ball. How can he not have learned how to improve his technique for either over 13 years?!!!

He’s having the fans off. He should turn down any more contract extensions, he’s just robbing the club blind.

Might well be gone.

Rightly so lol

Comedy Dave strikes again

 

[Mosh Pit]

I'd take a new manager now (providing i knew it was a solid replacement) but only if a new DOF was also appointed.
