Completely naive to think after the Arsenal win another defeat would see him out.

"He's gone after the derby"...."erm, he's gone after Palace"....."erm....."

Settle down for the season.

Hope springs eternal, he might resign just before we drop.
Stating ‘mission accomplished!’

These players are Championship level apart from 4/5.

...or maybe you dispute that?

They are an 8-12th level PL squad.

They haven't been near relegation to the championship in recent years so are clearly not a championship squad. They are just a bang avaerge PL squad. We are however heading towards trouble if we lose the next 2 games. That would make Burnley a massive game, and if we have a relegation 6 pointer on boxing day, that shows the monumental underachievement under this boss..

"His tactics are outdated".

Meaningless words on a forum. He's forgotten more about football tactics and strategy than you'll ever know.

Of course he has, which also sounds like a problem. He hasn't changed with the times and it shows, I know enough to see that. I can read a stats chart too and I can watch a football match without blinkered tribal loyalty or other agenda driven bias. All you've offered in this debate is '1.7mil' or 'injuries' yet can't explain why our set pieces have fallen off a cliff with the same personnel. Before you say it, Mina was out a lot last year too. Can you explain why his PPG have steadily dropped in his career since his peak? Can you explain why the standard of club he manages has also gone down? He hasn't evolved as a coach and he's ripping the club apart without showing anything to warrant the level of control he's getting. I was all for giving him a chance too, check my past messages if you wish, I don't care about 15 year old comments lost in translation, but I know what I see and what I see is rubbish.

We were best side at set pieces at both ends last year, and are now close to last.

Because Benitez ripped up the successful Ancelotti blueprint.

Working out please? Where are the specific comparisons?

This season we have the 7th best headed clearances record, last year 5th.

Not much there really is there?

If Benitez gets sacked like this then the cleaning of house stops and the "Everton That" era rumbles on untouched and still crippling the club.

I dont want that and neither should any Evertonian.

The players - clear them out.
The coaches - clear them out.
The remainder of the board - clear them out.

Really? How has Benitez convinced you that he should be last man standing with the keys to the kingdom? Seriously, what has he done to warrant that?

I dont care who does the cleaning out and who's last man standing.

I KNOW where the real problem is at Everton and it's not the manager.

14 scored and 7 conceded from non-penalty set plays.

A 2:1 positive ratio over a full season.

Appears to have been second in the league, only to West Ham.

This season is 2 scored to 7 conceded.

A 3:1 ratio against.

Quite a turnaround that really. If Jeremy Vine was stood at the swingometer, it would be 1997.
