2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[MikeH72]

Yes Bill

No, he let this happen.

Rondon came on, scored and nearly got a 2nd. Taking Richarlison off who didn't do anything for 60 mins isn't what cost us the game.

Gordon shooting instead of passing.
Coleman being an idiot cost us a goal at the end.

He scored a tap in from 2 foot, and missed the tap in from the good shot Gordon had. If I would have been on the pitch, I score those 2 goals. His poor performance cost us the points today.

My conscience is clear if he's sacked - I gave him a chance, it hasn't worked out - tis football.

The ones frothing at the mouth putting banners up outside GP before the season had even begun are the ones who look foolish as even if he had succeeded here they wouldn't have accepted him.

Well I was willing to see how it worked out, but it’s not working out and it really needed to because of his association with those lot across the park.

However I’m not sneering and seemingly wanting to wind up fellow Evertonians.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

No, he let this happen.

Care to explain? Given that pretty much every credible source has said this was entirely Moshiri’s decision.

 

[catcherintherye]

Tbh whatever your opinion on Benitez, I find this distasteful. I’ll call people anything under the sun on an Internet forum but his family are probably watching this match. Just no need for this in my view. Chants against the state of the football or his competence are fine but this is abusive to his appearance and makes a foreign stereotype.

Maybe he should show the supporters a bit of respect? I think it could be a lot harsher for him. Catterick got dropped let's not forget. Benitez doesnt have 1% if the integrity or ability of him.

…..purely from a tactical perspective, you are coming off a fine victory against a team on a run of 3 consecutive defeats;

- you surrender possession. You don’t press, you consolidate and get players behind the ball.
- you don’t play with tempo, you casually retreat when the opposition have possession and you consolidate. It’s what you’ve worked on at USMFF.
- your aim is not to win. Your aim is not to get beat.
- you lose a goal, you replace your best attacking asset. This isn’t about saving the game, its about saving face.

A tactical disaster and a political disaster.

The tactics he uses against the likes of Palace and Brentford speak volumes. He still thinks we are a ‘small club’ and sets us up like one

 

[Alan0401]

No manager in the world should be able to survive these results. The players aren’t blameless but these tactics are just pathetic. Chelsea should be disappointed with anything less than 4-0

 

[blulouie]

He will survive this, and this is why.

Look at our fixtures after the next two.

Erm
We've just had the bums rush by Crystal freekin Palace.
They were on a run of 3 defeats.
Not lost to them at their ground for 27 yrs .
Tomkins scored his 1st goal in 2 years.
30 odd % possession.
Gifted them 3 goals.
Conceded yet another set piece.

Do you really see this chump improving any time soon ?

 

[kithnou]

If he loses the next 2 his position is untenable. That will allow me to breathe a huge sigh of relief because the idea of this man in full control of transfers petrifies me. I’m not being hyperbolic there, the thought genuinely terrifies me. He’ll try and flog alienated players like Digne and buy absolute garbage to replace them. He’ll take us down if left in charge.

Not the slightest tinge of hyperbole there mate?

 

[ranxerox]

In terms of getting beat by dross outfits no - Ancelotti was in the dugout when we lost at home to two out of three teams who went down last season.

Until the players quality/mentality also improves we'll always have a wobbler in us we have done for years.

The problem for Benitez is its been a long run of poor results.

So Benitez is not responsible for any of our results against "dross".
Who gets the credit for the Arsenal result?

 

[Nymzee]

That shout is as daft as ever.

Things are going badly in spite of his best efforts to the contrary.

You think he's putting his best efforts in to make us successful? God help us when he's not then - we'll be playing Marine.

 

[Harryflashman]

@ForeverBlue92 as an Evertonian , not a weird manager obsessive or hopefully not an insane contrary troll (no names , no pack drill ) you can’t be happy ? Honestly , seriously , you just can’t . That was woeful and yet again he’s apparently approached his subs to ‘challenge us’ . Sorry but that was just dreadful , we all know that

That's it. All managers lose games. But this fella has 5 points from 10 games, with no positive record to speak of.

Richarlison, Gray, Doucoure largely there was no pattern to the game we won on individual moments.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Another fat man special btw

First loss away to palace in 27 years

Should be a theme 27.

I thought it was only fans on GOT that are against Benitez?

How rude...


For sky nation and their smashed avocado on toast...
