2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[Tubey]

I don't think it's much to ask for a manager to show a little more ambition and attacking intent.

With what? What does he have at his disposal?

There's nothing. The squad is just grim. If you look at it objectively and ignore who the manager is there's only one conclusion here - and that's that the squad are a shower of see you next Tuesday's

 

[tsubaki]

good tackle that by Coleman

 

[matty1878]

That's right.
The squad is awesome and the players are right to force yet another manager out

that manager has a tactical nouse of a mole.


get out fatty get out

The mutiny can wait until the game is actually lost

Oh there will be mutiny

Would love to see the travelling fans reaction to this

Go away - 2 wins in 12 and an abomination like today

What are you actually defending here ?

No. Other. Manager. Would. Do. Anything. Different..


Look at it logically and park the agenda. Please. The squad is just AWFUL.

What an absurd claim.

Most. Managers. Do. Not. Go. To. Crystal. Palace. Desperatly. Trying. For. A. Draw. Using. The. Exact. Same. Tactics. Game. After. Game. No. Matter. The. Formation. Or. Squad. Selection.

Well he proactively got rid of two of our best footballers in James and Digne so I have no pity for him

Get someone in who can get close to the 59 points we got last season with the same squad would be good. It's not as bad a squad as he makes it look

Points totals are irrelevant, final league positions are what counts.

If you have loads of weak teams in the bottom half and a strong top half there will be way more teams with high points totals, so it's not as reflective of how good you are compared to league position, especially when it was a strange season without fans being at the games.

We finished 10th with Ancelotti. 59 points doesn't count for anything or win us any more prize money.

So you believe that first half was as good as these players can play? That was them performing at their peak, and in the best possible setup?

I agree that the players are horrendous but what does it look like we’re trying to do here tactically? What is the attempt at a game plan?

This isn't the exact same tactic or formation, we're playing the 433 you clowns have screamed for and it's made no bloody difference.

So it was the fans who dragged that result out of them on Monday.

No, it was the manager.

Benitez when we win, everything else when we lose. Durp.

The 27 minute protest had a positive effect

1 win in 10 as things stands btw
