Fighting talk from the boss! That’ll get the troops going!

The issue is, he says we need to have a plan. We haven't had one all season.

I'd settle for 7% possession with Benitez in charge.

It's that bad mate that at first I thought it was a few lads on here who had got together and thought it would be a laugh to wind everyone up because I thought no one could be that d

Could NOT make it much clearer for them!


Their Red Tinted Glasses must make it look upside down!!!

The plan is the same no matter who we play, it's park the bus just like we did against the mighty Crystal Palace.

Why when we go to the mighty Crystal Palace and have less than 30% possession, would he think to even mention any sort of possession stats against Chelsea?

The man is a cowardly liar. The situation with Digne is hurting the team, he’ll rightly get criticised for allowing it to continue. The Roy Keane school of people management - embarrassing.

Just come out and own your decision. You’ve fallen out with him and he won’t play again until you can ship him off in January. We all know you’re lying to us with that stupid smug grin on your face. Did exactly the same with James “oh erm, injured - facht” for the full transfer window and then miraculously fit first game he’s available for his new club.

Object to his tactics, his people management style and now thinks we’re all as stupid.

He thinks we are kopites and will swallow anything, the mans poisonous I fear he's just starting his I'm the victim mentality to anyone who will listen.

Pretty sure that absolutely nobody on the planet expects us to go there and get 70% possession Benitez considering that we struggled to even reach 30% possession against fodder like Palace. I will be surprised if we even hit 20% against Chelsea and as for having a plan, would that be the same plan that you have had in the last 12 games, i.e get the formation completely wrong, sit back, give the ball away all the time, let goals in, attack as minimal as possible and then when we get beat blame it on injuries and bad luck, we are going in the right direction.

Get to feck.

16 games 18 points. Defeats to Watford, Brentford, Crystal Palace etc.. Tactically excellent, Jesus.

"Tactically excellent" 8 goals conceded against Watford and Crystal Palace. lol

It was 38% posession but still awful.

So that he can use it make it sound like the fans are unreasonable in wanting us to not lose 8-0 without leaving our own half. Luckily for him the journalists will lap it up.

Apologies, at one time it was 28%, think I lost the will to live after that!

Dire

Astonishing how some in here continue to defend him.

 

[Kev50]

When have I ever mentioned either of those managers? Benitez will relegate us.

come on then. You've had a thousand moans. What is your plan for next year? Sack Benitez, and get who in?
Let me guess 'anyone'.
right. get rid of our trophy laden manager, and just bring in 'anyone' and we'll be fine.
