2021/22 Rafael Benitez

Every club gets them: https://www.premierinjuries.com/injury-table.php

Not to key players, and not all season like Everton have.

Are we allowed to start questioning if injuries are due to his training/conditioning methods?

For someone who came in saying how fit we were going to get the opposite seems to have happened.

I questioned that like a month or 2 ago and got hounded out.

We run a lot.

Chasing shadows about 10 yards of the pace

Happens every season, that's football!

Excuses we have had one or two only out recently and been largely dire. It's also his tactics

Deffo, we went to Palace, a team who before the game were 2 pts behind us and were on a poor run of form themselves, yet Benitez waved the white flag from the off by parking the bus. Palace had 69% possession in the first half, absolutely embarrassing.

Injuries aren't an excuse though apparently.

He'd be failing regardless. His time as a good manager is long past.

Off on a date on Thursday and completely forgot we were playing Chelsea. She's well fit so we can do one.

Good luck fella

Wahhhhhhh wahhhhhh

We're the only team to ever have injured players.

Wahhhhhh

This is how these posts come across Dave.

If Rafael was sacked, I think he will go to Southampton. Howe will be leading Newcastle in the championship

Surely not Southampton, surely PSG will want him to replace Pochettino or Real will want him back because, as you keep pointing out despite all the evidence to the contrary, Benitez is a far superior manager to their current incumbent.

Back in the real world, though, I doubt Southampton would touch Benitez with a poo-caked stick, he's done in the PL. The only people who can't see that unfortunately run Everton Football Club. (And you, obvs)

Fume levels sem very high here today, understandably

Thursday night once Chelsea smash home their 4th, will be absolute mayhem.

Just before half time?

Needs £50M at least to spend this January.

This is an unprecedented amount of injuries over 16 games to have so many game days lost and to key players.

Hopefully he's lined 2/3 to come in straight after the window opens and then add one during the rest of January.

If he's still here in January, and that's a big if, I think we may bring in some short term loans. I don't believe he can spend without selling and I hope he isn't allowed to sell and then use the money to buy players to fit his jurassic playing style.

He isn't going to last past the end of the season and the last thing we need is to be signing older high wage Benitez players to replace the older High wage players who are finally out of contract at the end of the season.

Good thing we let him bring his own medical and fitness personnel in to prevent these injuries.


Oh that was a month ago and our players are still getting injured constantly?


Who do we have to sack now?

….being comfortable with being relegated goes against everything this football club is about. Brian Labone cutting a solitary figure walking along Goodison Rd before the end of a game with Coventry that would see us relegated with the wrong result. He couldn’t sit through those agonising last 10mins, all of our stomachs were in knots.

A founding member club fighting for its proud existence in the top flight, I find it astounding any Evertonian would be content being relegated. I also find it very wrong that an Evertonian thinks our fan base is vile when that is a million miles away from the vast majority of Toffees.

As for difference opinion about the character who’s running our club, I can’t respect the contrary views as I would normally respect the contrary views. I apologise for my angst, but Benitez is not only demonstrating he’s a poor coach he’s also demonstrating he’s an unfit individual to represent my club. It’s so disappointing that a few remain dedicated to him.

1. Being comfortable with relegation and not arsed about relegation are two different things. Its a game of football end of the day - Everton, you, I, rest of GOT will still be here supporting the club regardless of the league we are in.

2. Never said the fanbase as a whole was "vile" (your word not mine) I said a good section of it has turned feral which when you look at the evidence of abusive/threatening banners at the manager, his daughter getting targetted online and hundreds singing songs about an ex manager dying you would be a fool to disagree.

3. Thats your opinion on the manager and therefore your own agenda.

We all have bias/agendas within our opinions.
