2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[FrenchDarrenBent]

You could argue he's setting his stall out early - like the new headteacher going into an underperforming school - take no crap and make the pupils/staff sit up and take notice.

Excellent comparison
Like Jim Belushi in The Principal

Thats fine if it was 1990

Its 2021. It won't work. The game has fundamentally changed.

Its utterly stupid to freeze players out. It shows a childish streak and I won't pander to it. People who let personality clashes affect professional relationships are immature.

Im fine with it tbh - we aint exactly pulling up trees so happy to see what a change in management style does for us after years of the likes of Silva/Martinez being best mates with the players and Carlo giving James days off.

There's players who have put in far worse performances than Digne and they haven't been left out. It sets a bad precedent and I dont like it. Where personality clashes affect decision making then mistakes are made.

How is leaving out the only natural left back in the squad going to improve the team? He needs to grow up.

Don't think its anything to do with performances more Digne has either argued with him and taken it a step too far in Benitez's eyes or the stories of his agent leaking stuff to the press is true and Benitez doesn't trust him.

They will defend him regardless.
Digne should not be in our match day squad but iwobi, Kenny, rondon , Delph, tosun among others are OK. Ya.

 

[Zatara]

There are some weirdos on here. We beat Arsenal and somehow Arsenal are crap. Now we must beat Palace because Palace are crap? Simpletons on keyboards.

Never a truer, more ironic word spoken.

All the middle finger crew are hoping for a loss tomorrow.

If we win its the players and crowd, if we lose its Rafael's fault.

When will you reveal what football team you support?

Or do you follow Benitez do different clubs?

Well if its a personality clash then it should be sorted out like grown ups. They don't have to like each other, but they have to make it work and be professional.

Freezing players out in 2021 wont work.

Ok, you have dragged it out of me. I own up to being an Evertonian since we drew 0-0 with Swansea and Tommy Clinton missed a pen. It is just a big part of me, and I apologize to any RS fans if I slip into anti RS banter on here. All is now in the open.

Who are you talking to?

Mr Zatara who sounds confused or possibly deluded

 

[kiss the crest]

Freezing players out coming into the festive fixtures is a massive risk which will bite Raffa on the arse

Otherwise you look a bit mental like you’re ranting at the moon

Benitez confuses the best of us...

He wasn't asking you who you supported. His reply to you was directly under your comment he quoted. Then he quoted someone else and directly under that asked them who they supported.
