2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[ChiefWiggum]

Where the hell has this come from and I do not mean the couple of posts a bit back?

It was said after the Crystal Palace on Twitter.

Really, not into twitter so did not know. Any link?

We'd be mad to get rid of Rafael now.

Why mate?

VAR against Utd & Spurs
Pen at Brentford that wasnt given on the pull on Rondon

Godfrey handing Wolves the winner with a daft pass back

Doucoure/Godfrey gifting Chelsea their goal yesterday.

Been plenty of lost points down to bad officiating & unforced errors from our players.

I mean I'm with you mate but you can't help but notice that we are utterly outplayed in many games, also.

Who would you replace him with half way through a season with a paper thin squad which is crippled with injuries?

Nobody is going to come in and work miracles ... because to get the results people expect that is what it will take.... a miracle.

I think RB has done as well as anyone in the circumstances and certainly he has made mistakes and in my opinion going with just two in central midfield in certain games is one of those mistakes.

But he has done some things very well

There are some things which have happened like Marcel Brands leaving which only time will tell us if that was good or bad.

just have a read back of the last bit - can you see how the two sentences taken together don't really make much sense? maybe its just how I read things......

A salary of £6m per year will attract a much better manager than him.

What are the things you think he has done very well?

We're not

Why mate?

Because he has so much experience of football. Who are you going to bring in to replace a man who is obviously set on getting us out of the s+++ that we are in?

That is the very point some of us have tried to make on here. His past career is irrelevant as football has moved on. His tactics are found out and he either refuses to or isn’t capable of adapting.

Liverpool took their foot of the gas, we all know it, might as well own it. But for Pickford and some bad misses we could've been 3/4 nil down in 15minutes...when they went 2-0 up they visibly turned it down a notch

Yes I am not saying otherwise. Just saying that at 2-1 down regardless of them taking there foot off the gas the game was poised. What is it that you don't understand. **I am not bigging up benitez or trying to defend him with that statement I am just stating a fact.

The Benitez haters really need to calm down as they are getting eaten up with hatred and talking sh!te

Because I never had a go at Benitez I suppose that kid (kev the rat) will give me the finger. It does make me chuckle

Would you relieve him of his duties?

Would you relieve him of his duties?

That depends on the cost of removing him and the cost of the replacement. Would you sell Digne to cover the cost?
