2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[larbert toffee]

I'm made up with that result but they could have been about 4 up by half time and JP had a great game. Hopefully we build on that and see more time for the youngsters because they showed up some of the more senior pro's today.

Been saying it for a while to throw the youngsters in, they've proved they can't be any worse than some of the experienced wasters in the squad.
I'm made up for the youngsters playing tonight, great experience and decent unexpected result for them.

Forced to play the kids tonight after months of rejecting it
and they saved his skin for another week.


Be back to the likes of rondon and delph against Burnley and we’ll probably get beat

Rafas getting universal praise from all fans tonight, except from the same mob on here. There's a shock.

Tbf it's a great point and a very good performance so credit where credit is due, the problem is its a disaster for the long term as it just cements him more firmly in place now. A great result but one we will look back on in time and end up regretting. Que sera sera

Do you honestly think we’re going down. Which two of Burnley Leeds Newcastle Norwich are finishing ahead of us?

Probably not but we’ll definitely be circling the drain if he’s left in charge

"Team that fights for the manager"

Simms, Branthwaite, Kenny, Dobbin won't be seen in the next game apart from the bench.

Holgate, Iwobi, Gomes, Rondon, Coleman will stroll back.

He did very well today. Probably his best performance since hes been here. The 541 was the right call, we were set up well, and he managed the game excellently too.

There is a question though, of where have some of these lads been this season. I mean, Simms and Dobbin showed a lot more than Rondon has.

I hope it's a watershed moment for him. Some of that is sticking to 541.

That's another point comng from behind. Best in the league in that respect.

it can't be "universal" and "all" when there is an "except"

We had 20% possession and had it not been for Pickford, it would've been a cricket score. Let's not pretend benitez pulled off a tactical masterclass.

Manager got the preparation for the setpiece right.

Constantly conceding first and having to fight back in the first place.
