2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[Earwigjoe]

The arsenal win was an unexpeted bonus, don't forget that Benitez had written off getting any points until January, when the "injury crisis" is over.

All about those expected losses - this is a manager made for Moshiri - they have the same crappy mentality.

Hope all those who gave myself and others abuse and stick when we walked out on 27 versus arsenal are happy with everything still - you gave Moshiri, the board and all their decisions (including appointing Benitez in the first place) the vote of confidence last Monday.

Proper Kopite behaviour though that lad, - wanting to change what doesn't work - gotta accept being crap. NSNO.

Are we TWO POINTS off midtable and THREE POINTS off the top half of the PL?

It's THAT compressed.

The moment has come and gone to sack Benitez. If it were going to happen it'd have happened after the derby.

We’ve got Chelsea next which is a defeat, and Burnley have a game in hand on us.

Big deal.

Big deal? Yes it is a big deal.

It puts into context why the stampeding and failed anti-Benitez faction wont get their way.

The division is compressed and a loss or win can literally propel you either into the bottom half or top half.

Do you think Moshiri doesn't see that?

….not so sure now, Dave. I think there will be plenty of pressure from players and Board members to remove him. Results are key, the fans could have the ultimate say and they’ve been remarkably tolerant.

Dunno Eggs.

If the brass at Everton gave a toss what the fans think they wouldn’t have hired Benitez in the first place.

If enough players of high profile kick up a fuss though.

We are always just off this place or just as far to top 6 to bottom 6.

It's the Everton way, just when you think we have a final chance in a season to kick on, we just don't.

So us being X points off top half means nothing with us, I'd out money on us not actually getting those points right now.

Wait until march, guarantees we will be X points away from Europe places and we will finish midtable

For @davek that’s like a victory though

 

[Papa Shango]

Taking of POINTS... is it 5 POINTS out of the possible 30 POINTS in the previous 10 games?

How many more POINTS will be get in the next 4 games? Looking at form and the way we play, I would imagine 0 POINTS which if that's the case it would be 5 POINTS from the 42 POINTS available.

I'm assuming to go further up the table you need POINTS?

Good Points.

Sorry, Good POINTS.

So Bill’s told Farhad to get him in the bin?

Didn’t he say that months ago and Farhad patted him on the head and did it anyway?

If that’s true, I see this changing nothing.

 

[Eggs]

Will they name him Rafael !

…ffs, no chance.

 

[malfosse]

I hope Moshiri still has Allardyce's number, I have a bad feeling he may be calling him soon.

 

[bullybeef]

It’s quite clear.

Rafael’s stinking the gaff out.

 

[davek]

We’ve got Chelsea next which is a defeat, and Burnley have a game in hand on us.

So what?

We have games after Chelsea. The season doesn't end on 17 games.

That is looking very hopeful right now.....

Don't let the door hit your kopite ass on the way out Benitez.

 

[kenada_blue]

Dont act daft mate, because I know youlre not.

WTF does it matter if Everton are in the bottom half this week if we want to sell a player like Digne?

You;re making no sense whatsoever...and you know it.

I was talking about the type of players to sign. You say we'll sell and bring in 3 players, I ask who? That "who" also makes it harder when you're a struggling team.

Unless Rafael has a list of guaranteed players he's got lined up, without a DoF or scout team all out the window, it's purely on Benitez. So when he flogs Digne for £20-30mill...what's the calibre he's going to bring in especially if we're 14th
