2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[Kev The Rat]

And that's Rafas fault because...

He didn’t set up the sustainable model that you seem to think he did?

 

[COYBL25]

At Newcastle, they had a really bad injury rate, within a few weeks of being there he ordered them to rip up the training pitch and put a new one in, injury rate improved.

He got rid of Graham Carr who was their chief scout.

He tried to get rid of Charnley their DOF but to no avail.

Brought in Amanda Staveley to buy Ashley out.

Do you ever post anything other than excuses for him ???

According to you, he has zero responsibility for any failure, at any club he’s been at.

Oh and you’re @RickyRyder levels of insane too.

 

[Joey66]

I am but I have no confidence in the manager

What's worrying, he is in total control now ......

Stop Wumming, Rafael brought Gray. Its even been said that Brands was pushed aside in the summer.

Gray came out and credited both brands and benitez. Maybe coincidentally they both wanted him and were both involved.

Say hello to Sean Longstaff

 

[Dad watched Dixie]

Gray came out and credited both brands and benitez. Maybe they both wanted him and were both involved.

Whoever it was, thank God he, or they, did!

 

[davek]

No word from either Andy Gray or Hairy Hands today?

That's strange.

Also credit again for the continued removal of that zonal marking, he got the wrong and changed it, have to respect a manager who can do that

How many points did we lose while he figured out his mistakes?

Well done Senor Benitez.

Nah, Ricky was a special kind of crazy. This one is just a wum.

Didn't we use zonal under Ancelloti to good effect? Wonder what was different with Benitez version that the lads couldn't do it

 

[NathDogg]

Two in midfield must be in the bin now eh , especially after we looked better with Gomes on in the 3?

I hope he isn't stubborn tactically.....

He is in total control, and some think he is going to be sacked, when he tells the board to jump they ask how high.
No other manager has worked his way to the top of the club like he has, it's what we have needed, now he can get on with sorting out the mess predecessors have made off the field that others ignored, allowed and even abetted in some cases.

 

[Efcjake]

Imagine spending your day desperate for us to lose just to say I told you so.

Lost his head has our Kevin.

You lot have spent 2 months praying for a win so you wouldn't have to eat the humble pie due your way when he gets sacked before Christmas.

Lots of indifference on display again from you.

 

[4737carlin]

How many points did we lose while he figured out his mistakes?

Well done Senor Benitez.

A few for sure, but some were mainly down to lack of options going forward and missing Mina and having to.use Godfrey at CB.
Onwards and upwards now, full steam ahead.

 

[Efcjake]

Have I honestly just read that Benitez's little pet is now claiming Benitez is responsible for Ashley selling to the Saudis.

Unreal the lengths he will go to that fella. Just constant lies
