Am still waiting to hear who all these Benitez haters want to replace him with who is going to miraculously turn the team into a top ten team this season.
I bet if he was replaced they would claim any wins from the easier fixtures coming up after Xmas and New Year was down to the new manager and Benitez would never of won them so you can never win with people like that.

They always say you can really see the true identity of a fanbase when things are bad and that applies here with the name calling and treatment of the manager, a good fanbase bonds together firmer during adversity not splits. Yes Benitez was a controversial apointment however look at the other names linked none came close in experience to what this club needs which most agree is rotten from top to bottom with a massive clear out it needed, who out of those names was capable of upsetting people and making those difficult decisions to those who had it cushy for years under previous regimes..Nuno.. Potter or even Duncan.. don’t think so.

I'm not a Benitez hater I am a hater of his tactics, his management style and his constant putting his ego before the welfare of the team and club. Most of all I'm a hater of the results on the pitch.

I think the people still criticising Benitez for the Richarlison substitution post his explanation of why (I.e he’s injured) need to recognise that their negativity is part of the problem here

Looking back at last season’s results - we got some incredible results against top teams

Looking at who played - the biggest difference is DCL being consistently available last year. Also, Sigurdsson was pretty well involved. We were missing Coleman last season and Holgate played a fair bit at right back

We had James also who provided a lift and quality but missed quite a few games

A key difference also was the feel that Ancelotti brought and the confidence that inspired in all parties. I think largely because of the Liverpool connection, there is underlying negative towards Benitez, which is part of the problem at the moment - and driven by emotion rather than logic

Fans can do their job helping the success of the team by getting behind Raf’a

Ah. It's the fans fault again. We should clap and cheer only no matter what is served up to us. Got it.

Who would you rather Digne, a French International proven player or the young 22 year old left back playing in a farmers league that no one has ever heard of?

Its a no brainer and Digne is here, now... no need to wait. Wherever the FSW goes he falls out and sells the best players and invariably isnt successful...

Agree with a bad run revealing the true nature of some fans (ie fair weather supporters, quick to stick the boot in)

Don’t agree that the club is ‘rotten from top to bottom’ though - that’s an extreme statement. If we hadn’t had the money injected we likely would have been in a weaker position over past seasons and it seems the intentions are good, even if Moshiri’s judgment may be a bit off from time to time

Why not give a manager some time and support - and unless more fans are going to step forward and inject substantial capital in to the club themselves, perhaps do the basic minimum of at least providing positive support from the terraces

If not being positive it would be better to not be in the ground or move to ‘supporting’ another club (who I guess would also be turned on at the first sign of a bad run?)

I just think it would make sense to be generally supportive at this time rather than staging protests etc

Keeping hiring and firing managers isn’t the answer

Neither is keeping a manager who is doomed.

Of course hiring and firing isn't the answer, but to have hired Benitez in the first place leads me to believe we were asking the wrong question in the first place.
