2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[MrD]

But at least Ferguson or Rooney would have the passion for the club. This LFC rat only has passion for himself

 

[MrGrumpy]

3 points from the last 6, and 2 points off midtable, and 3 points off top half of the table.

See what I did there? What you and others have done: chosen stats to prove a point.

I just chosen true stats. All well and good day 2 points from blah blah but when your next 2 games are Chelsea away(given them 3 points now and save a trip) an a very tough home game vs Leicester with a toxic Goodison
You looking at it being 2 win in 13

 

[FrenchDarrenBent]

You do realise that stats are only valuable when your dataset is larger.

so no, you just look like a bit of a clown

I agree, let's enlarge the dataset until may 20th. Then we make a decision.

...and yet he's still here...the manager who the players played for against Arsenal.

I would argue the players performed for the fans due to the atmosphere generated but happy to debate. After all they performed for Benitez prior and since didn't they. Also I don't think we played great against arsenal but shows how expectations have fallen don't they.

He signed his passion in the summer!
Like the one he signed in China

Three wins from Europe.

Three defeats from relegation.

Context.

We’ve won 2 games since September. We’ve lost 3 games in a row twice since then.

Passion is overrated. It only gets you so far. Lots of teams have gone down after playing with passion all season.

 

[BlueStevie35]

We're 3 points off the top half of the table and getting relegated.

Make it stop.

We were top 6 one year ago with 11 more points, we’ve won 2 games in 3 months, that’s relegation form

Figured it would be of interest to share Benitez has turned around a similar situation before at Newcastle; they went 3 points out of 30 and winless in 10 at the start of the 18-19 season. They eventually finished 13th, which obviously isn't good enough, but still worth bringing up; one Salomon Rondon was their Player of the Year

His remit was to keep them up though, that was all Ashley was bothered about. That's not good enough here.

 

[MrGrumpy]

Three wins from Europe.

Three defeats from relegation.

Context.

We play Chelsea next so it’s 4 wins.
The fact we won 5 in 18 games all season, what makes you think we can suddenly win 4 on the spin?

Am I wrong that we are 3 points off top half?

Am I?

Irrelevant.

 

[ToffeeTim]

This is the only double entry we need to see.

DR Termination payments (R Benitez)
CR Bank

Just realised what this manager has done to me. I've just attempted to make an accountancy joke on a Monday morning.

What have you done to me Everton

 

[luuk_deventer]

We’ve won 2 games since September. We’ve lost 3 games in a row twice since then.

I know that and I am not saying it is good or that it is not a reason to be concerned.

But I do not think it is the right move to sack RB when the manager is evidently not the biggest problem.

No mate they played for the fans
