2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[PhilRegan]

Arsenal are a decent team. They were totally intimidated by a united Everton family.

Is this Moshiri?

 

[Saint Domingo]

you are right, Arsenal could have scored 5.

Richarlison had two disallowed, we scored two, and Iwobi was clean through. Against a decent Arsenal team.

Sorry but Norwich Burnley Newcastle Watford ain’t doing that when they’re 1 down against a top 6 team. The relegation shouts have no substance. They were put to bed tonight.

 

[R.Reddington]

Nothing to do with Benitez

Dragged out the crap by a worldie

Think he deserves some credit for the Gomes sub, definitely gave us control and stability.

 

[GedMoore]

Lucky to get the win

 

[DanB90]

Absolute charlatans refusing to give any positive feedback. Your agenda is unreal now.

Hahahahahahahaha

 

[Tubey]

Nice to have class options like Gray and Richarlison fit and available to play instead.

That's the key. DCL to come.

As I said ad nauseum in this thread, the issue has been injuries to the spine of the squad, to the point we've been missing at various points every single member of our attacking midfield and forward line.

 

[Thomasc]

Like I said, just going to enjoy a win.

One swallow does not make a summer though, that’s still 5 points out of 27, so please, nobody start acting smug and giving it the big one and making out he’s the right man for this club, because that would make you a complete knob wouldn’t it really?

 

[Carlito]

This fat little weasel isn't going anywhere any time soon, unfortunately.

He's Moshiri's man, and the bar will be kept as low as possible for him.

 

[Sagar]

I know mate shocking isnt it?

and there was me thinking his mastermind tactics had us fighting for our lives in a relegation battle?

No tactics could work when when whole better half of the squad is out injured. Lets judge when he has his whole squad back, and some replacements in Jan and summer .

 

[Mosh Pit]

What a surprise though... brings on that 3rd CM and we win the game.

Hey Rafael, here's an idea for Sunday...

Do something madly out of character and setup again like that?

 

[gazzaa2]

Hmmmm

Richarlison, Calvert Lewin and Gray would get in most teams.

 

[Efcjake]

When's his "Won a match for the first time in 3 months" parade lads?

 

[BlueToff]

We're not great but we're not utterly terrible either. We'll have days like today where we are right in it against a better team and on some of those occasions you'll catch a break and win.

I'm intrigued to see if DCL can take us up a level.

We were crap until Gomes came on.

Shockingly a change of shape equals us actually looking decent.

Not like people who aren't highly paid footy managers haven't been saying it for weeks.

I don't think we'll get lucky enough to play such an abjectly bad 'top six' team again mind. Arsenal were awful.

 

[royalblue66]

Love ya Rafael hahaha

 

[BlueToff]

Richarlison, Calvert Lewin and Gray would get in most teams.

Yes so you have to give them a platform to build from. Not helpless long balls forward and negative approaches. A proper shape, a proper way of creating chances.
