2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[Harryflashman]

Of course he will have someone. He will blame Dunc or DBB or EITC or something. Its never his fault.

Injury’s fault
Doctors fault they aren’t fit
Brands fault with recruitment

The bloke is nothing if not consistent

 

[allen]

I bet you a mars bar he goes if we lose

You’re on.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

I’d be delighted if he can win , it’s a tough ask but it’d be a big win .

Out of the "top 6" Arsenal are easily one of the flakiest sides on their day - I think with it being Goodison under the lights a good atmosphere could see us nick a result.

Even if we do it's pointless unless we build on it which we won't. Palace will walk through our 2 man midfield with the speed that they play at then I don't see us getting anything at Chelsea for the same reason. We just come back to the tactics thing again, that's the issue here.

Ah well then lol

I do agree with your flakey shout though , however on their day they can certainly turn up and have more than enough to trouble us . I’m hoping for a performance like they think they’re at the pit rather than Goodison .

It'll be the fans fault today if people do walk out.

Even if we are losing by then, I'm sure it will be thrown out as the fans fault as it "affected" the players or something. I'm positive it will be on here by posters anyway.

Only positive is if he gets a few results he'll at least have full control of transfers going into next summer so if he sticks with the 4231 / 442 he can sign players to suit the system.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

I think he's got the next 3, possibly 4 games.

If we're battered by Arsenal/Chelsea, he could be gone.

We've got Leicester as well who're also currently on their arse in terms of form. Another defeat there surely makes his position untenable.

Yeah by any standards he’s under genuine pressure results wise. Another couple of defeats and I don’t see how his position is tenable.

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

Although he picked him you can’t blame Jaffa for Coleman's FU against the RS when we looked like gaining Some momentum in the game.

The game was over after 20mins if they hadn’t taken their foot off the accelerator somewhat and gifted us a goal,

 

[willo30]

The issue is too many hangers on from the previous regime to give Moshiri and Brands a chance to get on with it.

Get rid of Bill and all these ex players stinking the place out and see how they do then.

FFS someone could have told me he'd been booted.

 

[Trublue12]

No.

As expected. Although his first season was one of the best of my adult life. Shame it didn't last.

 

[Carloblues]

If we get 3 points tonight all the talk of sacking is done with when we'll be 8 points clear of the bottom 3.

nar it won't

a win tonight won't paper over the cracks about the majority of fans feel about this man

Hopefully. It is possible. Need to cut out the woeful mistakes and defend on set pieces. A good atmosphere could nick us a goal by forcing us to go forward.

Nope, they tend to handle the teams outside the top 6 with ease - the very definition of flat track bullies. And the main reason they are in the CL shout.

What they do when they face other top 6 sides is irrelevant to us, obviously. Its how they handle the dross like us that counts.
