2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[Papa Shango]

Not hating the manager doesn't equate to being his fan. That's what the haters need to comprehend.

People trying to pretend they are judging him fairly when it's obvious they're not just makes them look stupid.

Fair enough, if you don't like him or want him as manager, just say that's why you want him gone.

I don't recall myself telling anyone they're not an actual fan on here.

Already been told that by a hater today and seen many others being called RS if they don't agree with the hate towards Benitez.

Come on now, you basically said as much in your last post saying "What great fans you are."

It does happen and it will continue to happen as long as he is in charge. That's just how it is, Anyone trying to impart their opinion to try and change them to the other side is just wasting their time.

He has been dealt an incredibly crap hand from an idiot owner. This division is always going to be there. Anyone who thinks it wont be or thinks saying "just get behind him" thinking it will all be OK is kidding themselves.

The only way these opinions change is if Benitez is a success (he wont be, he can't be really) or conversely if things get worse on the pitch.

It feels like we are all fighting over the bottom dregs of a barrel at this point anyway.

He'll still be here this time next season.

Yeah Mr Reliable who owns the club wouldn't change anything on a whim would he?

Just tagging you because you're still the only Blue I've seen post on here wanting us to lose.

Who do you want to win the Chelsea game Dave?

That's because I'm honest and am explicit about it and the reason for doing it...unlike you and your cohort of Benitez-haters who want defeats but wont state it.

Not understanding your logic. Benitez is stuck with them until a window opens (so that is his fault?). We may get interested parties in these players but will they pay there current wages? (Not benitez fault again). He is stuck with them presently as the window is shut and possibly stuck with them because they might prefer the wages at Everton rather than lower wages elsewhere. None of this is benitez fault they are a hinderance to Benitez as they could release funds if anyone was interested (in the window) or those players have the power to see said contract out (again no Benitez fault). I don't know how you can blame Benitez for Iwobi, Delph etc still being here when they cannot currently be sold in a closed window ???????

Jesus mate where have I said in that post its Benitez's fault? I was making an observation that we are stuck with mediocre crap for the foreseeable future. Personally I wish he'd give the youngsters a chance rather than rely on cowards who have had their chance and blown it, and are still here on fat contracts.

Making things up in your own head dave.

Easy to see how you can convince yourself Benitez isn't crap when you live in your own world like this.

Goes three in midfield in a game where it’s probably not needed, and two when three desperately IS needed

We're playing 4231

Can't wait to replace allan with longstaff and digne with some nomark left back that gets a nosebleed when they cross the half way line all because benitez has an ego trip.

 

[Papa Shango]

Some sort of weird kopite Everton, seeing that we have a kopite as manager.lol

Pretty much.

Throughout all the rubbish we have watched int he past 30 odd years I always thought "well we are Everton at least".

We don't even get to be that now!

I'd say one side has been more disparaging to the other overall.

Most of your other points I agree with though.

Stating the obvious it is right and proper that as EFC fans we can share widely different opinions on players and indeed the manager. Where it goes off piste is when a very few appear to want us to lose games to justify their opinions regarding the way the club has been mishandled. That causes hackles to rise.

 

[ChesterBlue]

I really hate Benitez

I wouldn’t mind us losing a few more in a row, but it’s not because I want to justify any opinions. I just don’t think we’re going anywhere under Benitez and I can’t stand him, so I’m willing to take short term pain to get him out for long term success.
