2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[Theoneandonly]

You can pack that in.

You've all been saying "If we win the next match..." for over 2 months.

And we haven't won one.

I can pack it in being positive.

Don't blame us for seeing the writing on the wall when it was announced.

Blame yourself for being a big enough fool to believe in Benitez having any ability as a manager.

We had to appoint a world class manager who wins titles and Champions Leagues just to finish 10th & 12th.

This squad is garbage and you'll be calling for many more managers heeds than just Benitez's over the coming seasons.

A win on Monday and we go 11th.

Yeah that’s the problem douche bag, we’ve lost 6 out of 7

Any chance you are distancing yourself from Benitez now when he is doing nothing else but loosing?

He's said the exact same thing for months. There's nothing in that post that's new or a reverse.

We've also said if we don't win between now and Burnley or at the latest Newcastle then he'd deserve sacking. Again, no change whatsoever in view.

The only difference is we're not laying into the bloke after a dozen games, and in some instances laying into him before a ball was kicked.

Did the squad pick the 2 in midfield against the RS?

I thought you were starting to admit Benitez's responsibility but nah it's back to "nobody could do anything with this squad"

Nevermind the fact that the manager you spent all morning slating has a worse squad than ours 5 points higher in the table.

Pure desperation.

Don’t speak to people like that

Its amazing isn't it - I said after the Derby he needs to stop playing 2 in midfield and he's struggling at present yet im a Benitez sycophant because I had the audacity to give him a fair crack of the whip with no investment in a bang average squad hit by injuries lol

Our consciences are clear if he stays or goes.

Mate, he is close to being sacked, protests about the way the club is being run are being planned, and you have waited until its reached a crescendo before trying to make it look like you didn't massively back the wrong horse.

I'm not as doom and gloom as a lot of people in here but even that's a lot to ask at the moment.

He, like yourself and others' have made excuse after excuse for Benitez not deserving any criticism for this form.

History revision at its finest but it's what you're left with when he isn't doing the business.

He probably celebrated Origis goal today aswell.

Who says he's close to being sacked?

This squad beat Arsenal Chelsea and Leicester last year, with key players missing and iwobi on the right wing.
let’s see how Rafael does.
it’s not the players.

Delusional more like.

Because Koeman and Silva had spent £400 Million between them to end up in the bottom 3.

This fella has had £1.7 million, multiple players oot including his top goalscorer and you and your band of merry men wanted him swinging not even 10 games into his first season!

Thats not supporting the club im afraid.

…but it’s supporting the club if you’re indifferent to them getting relegated?

I suppose it’s understandable supporting a manager leading the club to the Championship when you’re content us being in the Championship.

What you need to understand is we desperately want to remain in the top flight.

Because the excuses are 100% valid.

You, on the other hand, have been irrationally slating him, making out like he's losing with a squad akin to 1970s Brazil, and others like you have slated him before a ball was kicked, and that all of our ills are on him personally and everything else isn't relevant.
