2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[ForeverBlue92]

Bonus that Smith-Rowe wasn’t playing and Arteta left Aubamayang on the bench for so long.
As you say, they weren’t all that tonight and when Goodison is like it was, we can compete.

Can also argue bonus for them DCL was out and Mina went off injured.

Agreed , they got over the line thanks to fans reaction that 90% of them don't deserve

Their arse had completely gone just before we equalised. Were passing it out for throw ins, shanking cross field balls. All started when they brought that donkey Tavares on.

He’s up there at Cuco Martina levels absolutely horrendous that Tavares.

Thankfully for us.

you might as well say Ratcliffe, he has more chance of being match fit before Mina

 

[Amw79]

Made it clear I don’t think he’s the man for the job, after last couple of months. But, he bought himself time tonight. The crowd helped a lot, as did Arsenals ridiculous time wasting and play acting, but the players played for the shirt.

If results take an upturn over December, I’ll happily reconsider my view on Benitez.

Genuine question, no agenda, didn't see you comment during the game, were you at the game tonight, noise on TV sounded boss tonight, must've lifted the team a fair bit?

Aubameyang has been absolutely putrid this season to be fair.

Was Duncan Ferguson there tonight? Genuinely can’t remember seeing him in the dugout and he was nowhere to be seen at the end from what I remember.

Wouldn’t be surprised if he was another one that could be moved on.

I noticed also he was the only coach who didnt stick around while FSW was milking the applause

 

[Zeitgeist]

Did he do a post match interview?

Made the subs early enough to make the difference. And made the correct subs. Deserves credit for tonight
