2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[Kev The Rat]

Moshiri's comment is more of an end of the road statement to others like Brands in my opinion.

You know absolutely nothing

He was addressing the managers failings specifically. No one else’s as much as you’d like to fantasise it was.

Don't forget Rafael made several defensive signings at Newcastle and was there for over 3 years.

He's been here for 4 months. People seem to forget that.

He's also working with players who quite frankly are barely above championship level.

Well, he was with championship players his second season at NUFC... and he did better.
Inexcusable. Also, you can lose, but the lack fight & spirit is worrisome.

Let's hope for an Arteta-esque turnaround. I don't want Allardyce back ffs

His team defend worse than Roberto Martinez did.

Playing rigid 442 against Liverpool sums him up - stuck in about 2006.

Ancelotti only lost by more than 2 once last season - and that was in game 38. Benitez has already done it 4 times in 14 games - PATHETIC

The fact someone as clueless as Moshiri thinks he's the right man, shows just how poor a manager he is these days.

He defo had a had a look of resignation about in interview last night, similar body language to Carlo at end of last season, sort of mix of miffed and sod it i cant fix this!

Be good if he went of his volition like Carlo but he wont, he will want the pay off before heading back to the home for spent managers

Carlo only left because he had a better offer, its not like he said sod this I'm off on holiday.

Yeh, he lost 5-0 at home to city and also home games v Fulham, shef Utd, Newcastle and Burnley, without nearly such an injury as we have had

I was talking about heavy losses. We only had 1 last year and that was the City away game on the final day.

We've already lost by 3 goals 4 times this year in 14 games. That's a 30% record of losing by 3 goals. It's insane.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

Carlo last year won 3 of the last thirteen games and he lost 5-0 at home to city and also home games v Fulham, shef Utd, Newcastle and Burnley, without nearly such an injury as we have had

Perhaps the manager is NOT the issue??!!

Away on final day.

Liverpool scored 4 goals in an away league match against us for the first time since 1982

It's fine though

I’m just talking about losses and form
The great Carlo ancelotti got bummed all over the place with a better squad that raf has

Yeh, sorry, still an utter thumping

No one thinks it’s fine

I've just proved that we didn't lose heavily often at all. We were competitive last year. We lost by 3 or more once last year but it has happenned 4 times already in 14 games.

Sure we lost matches, but when did we ship 5 at home to someone like Watford or get hammered in a derby?

The issue is the lack of pace. Allan is getting very pedestrian. Coleman is too slow and sloppy. If we can prioritise these 2 areas it would make a big difference. Get someone else who can compete with Townsend and we should look good.

Why does there have to be just one issue?
