2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[Mosh Pit]

No mate. The squad cost that much. It does not represent that in value. It's about ten bob in terms of value.

It really isn't.

There's more than enough talent for him to be achieving more than 1 win in 10.

You're badly, badly wrong.

Embarrassing

 

[Bilbo]

It's shame we can't get one theses unemployed lads...

LUCIEN FAVRE
ZINEDINE ZIDANE
ERNESTO VALVERDE
ANDREA PIRLO
PAULO FONSECA
RUDI GARCIA

They are all available on Fantasy Island.

"Give it Dunc"...the sack, that is.

3 points off 9th place. Erm, no.

7 points from the relegation places.

 

[Kev The Rat]

Three players to get results with. Not enough really is it?

The spine of the squad. The backbone.

Or it would be, with a competent manager.

Tell him Kev...

His arguments are deliberately annoying.

Boooo

 

[jamieni]

OUT

Is that a statement of fact or just wishful thinking?

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

Do the excuses include he's spent £1.7M to to try and reconstruct a squad full of fakes and bottlers?

Knowing your previously long held opinion of our current manager makes the sheer mendacity exhibited in your posts breathtakingly shocking.
I can never take your opinion seriously again and ,for me, your constant aggressively contrarian stance is a source of great levity even in these grim times.
Cheers for the laughs, chief.

A declaration of the inevitable I would think

Unbelievable that people have actually got to the point where they’re defending Brands, Kenwright, and even now this squad of players. So much for ‘get rid of the lot of them’ that was being banded round at the end of last season. More like ‘can we keep these consistent failures in place please because they make a convenient argument for our agendas against the manager’

i know you like the 1.7m spent quote. So we can swerve that.
the 1.7m is nothing to do with the same defence and defenders though. Explain why the same defence is drastically worse under benitez.

BUT his tactics are getting LESS out of them than Carlo, much much less. We have been twatted by Watford and Palace and easily brushed aside by Brentford. It's his tactics that won't change regardless of personnel the man is out dated and will dig us further into the mire!

Can you just say with a straight face that Pickford, Doucoure and Richarlison are all failures? I’m just picking those three btw - there are others.
