2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[Zatara]

The most disappointing here is that we didnt sign Livramento.

If we had signed him and Gray and both had performed as they have done so far this season results would likely be better (with a functioning right back)...

...not to mention the optimism would be higher.

As it stands, probably 95% of posters dont believe Benitez would even have known what a Livramento is.

That's why transfers should be done by a dof managers usually sign players for the here an now

or what a Gray is. He signed him, yes, but why?
the guy is an absolute donkey

No manager should have concrete assurances if they've won 2 games in 15 mate, which would be this hypothetical scenario heading into Xmas.

I hope we don't. If he plays it correctly there's no reason why we shouldn't have enough to beat Palace.

Midfield 3 and we get, at least, a point. Back to to a midfield 2, we go back to the results of the past 2 months. Will he accept that, or, is he just too stubborn?

We don't have one now.

 

[stretford blue]

We don't have one now.

He wasn't allowed to when he was here and expect if we employ another one he won't either

Probably too stubborn - I’d like to see a 3 of Gomes, Doucoure and Allan myself as that should give us a opportunity to actually control a game for once

We were never in for Livaramento - the only names we had interest in at RB were Dumfries then later that Rangers kid and Maitland-Niles.

If Brands isnt the one leaking stuff then the Athletic reporters are being very naughty in making up lies.

we were never in cos clueless has-been benitez wasnt interested

If Steinson is off too who would we bring in as a head of recruitment/scouting?

Alex Ferguson was not like that though, and neither was Moyes.

Didn't Moyes once almost have a square go with one of the players in the dressing room? Certainly wouldn't take any crap!

Tony Pulis once head butted James Beattie, so the legend goes.

I would pay to watch a Pulis-Moyes bare-knuckle match. People would sway for Mr Baseball Cap, but Moyes would be a dark horse given he used to be a rough and tumble centre half.

There are so many knowledgeable and informed lads and lasses on here, so many stats and info to be gleaned and actually some really great insights.

You should encourage them to visit this thread.

Moyes has god on his side. I Reckon he'd use a sharpened crucifix as a snide makeshift knuckle duster.
