2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[PhilRegan]

Got to remember this man is very experienced in relegation he won't be fazed by going down.

Potterball has won just 1 in his last 11 in all competitions and finished 16th last season.

Dont get the hype at all.

What's your boy Benitez's record in the same time period? No reason to bin him off, though, right?

 

[Kev The Rat]

If we applied the furoré on here to any Everton manager objectively, we'd have sacked Ancelotti after 1 win in 7 from 17 October to 5 December 2020; a terrible performance where we nicked a win against Fulham. We didn't, because we all understood the squad was rubbish, we'd had a few injuries and bad luck, and we couldn't do better than Ancelotti.

Same situation here, albeit worse results, but with many more mitigating circumstances. The same leeway isn't given to Benitez that was given to Ancelotti, and we all know why. Yes, Benitez doesn't deserve the same leeway as Ancelotti as he's a 'lesser' manager overall, but it's a fact people were at his neck before a ball was kicked.

I’ve told you like other managers Ancelotti built up some credit with his first season.

The waiter comes in with nothing in the bank. Zero.

 

[Theoneandonly]

thats not true - its just that we have never - and this is factually correct - had a manager who has collapsed this early in their reign as this waster has.

Shameful.

Didn't we finish 17th under Moyes.

 

[Kev The Rat]

Didn't we finish 17th under Moyes.

And where did we finish in his first season ?

Whose we btw?

 

[Colonel Getafe]

Me too Brian would stand for all this.

"woah woah woah! sweet child o' mine! are my eyes dreamin' Dunc or have you got 2 of my lads marking empty space?!"

RayVon in, Rondon out. Kenny Snr at right back. It's the future!

I can see similarities between Brands and Brian’s acquisitions.

 

[windymiller]

But if Potter is the **best** of a realistic bunch what hope do we have?

If Benitez went tomorrow out of all the realistic managers available I would be after Dyche or Biesla.

Nuno/Potter/Lampard/Alladyce/Periera/Fonesca/Hughes/Dunc/Pulis no way man.

Of course you want Dyche. Lower in the table. Worse recent form. You won't be happy until you see us in League 1, will you?

Ye Brian wouldn't bother with Iwobi though

 

[Colonel Getafe]

if only Marcel could go on a booze run to France and come back with a couple of right backs stowed away...

 

[windymiller]

Mate, he wants to win, he is not here for a pay day

Went to China for the "challenge" not the reddies, as well.

 

[Brennan]

Make that fifteenth with three teams on ten points, with games against Arsenal and Chelsea to come. Now tell me I shouldn't be worried.

You shouldn’t be worried.

 

[windymiller]

They're distancing themselves from Potter now he's losing.

Mate, they're isn't a distance far enough away from you. The moon is too close.

Ye great for his CV aswell .

Moyes got relegated with Sunderland.

You have no leg to stand on.
