2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[windymiller]

We should of course strive for better.

But let’s not pretend the problem is solely down to our current incumbent. That would be disingenuous. .

I'm not, but we shouldn't pretend that he has no influence over our current situation either. That would also be disingenuous.

 

[Kev The Rat]

The top teams are like magnets to the best players.
Real Madrid hardly need a DOF to attract any player they want.

If you are saying it can’t be accomplished at smaller clubs than Real Madrid I suggest you look at where Walsh and Brands worked before joining us, and how successful they were.

When did we last conced from a set piece? He addressed that issue, no senior players have been alienated, as for pesisting with tactics that dont fit the players, what players? half of them are either rubbish or injured, as for goading fans HAHAHA behave, from day one he hasnt had %100 support from the fans and he should of got it from day one, supporting the manager is part of supporting the team, you cant do one without the other

His ineptitude at set pieces has been a feature of his whole career. I mean all he had to do here was follow the template left by Ancelotti but no that just wouldn’t do.

His exclusion of Digne was done with his ego in mind rather than the good of the team. This type of management just doesn’t work now when players hold all the cards. Richarlison will be next.

All teams have injuries and it’s up to the manager to make the best of what he has. Parking the bus at Palace is a prime example of his dogma over ruling what needs to be done. If it worked 15 years ago it will work now…

Tired reading that nonsense of you don’t support the team if you don’t support him. He is just passing through mate, I’ll always support the team regardless of who is in the dugout.

 

[Armaghtoffee]

What is he showing to show he is the wrong appointee in barely five months.

Delivering the club’s worst set of results in 30 years is a fairly obvious point really.

 

[Armaghtoffee]

Injuiries considered, squad not of his doing. How at this point do we know one way or the other?

I think that is overplayed as every manager has players in their squad that they didn’t buy themselves.

Aside from that though, Ancelotti had the same core sitting top 4 a year ago so we know the team is underperforming under this manager.

A couple of weeks behind but an interesting analysis of our predicament under Benitez.

Are Rafael Benitez’s Tactics at Everton Too Passive for the Modern Game?​

Here’s my Christmas wish , during the Christmas period Benitez will leave by mutual consent probably citing ‘ill health’ as a reason ,(although he will have fully recovered when Howe gets sacked.)
Moshiri will appoint Gallardo ,who is just coming to the end of his contract , along with a new DoF ,Campos.
Suddenly the future will be bright.
Well, it is Christmas a man can dream can’t he ?

“ If Carlsberg could do football clubs they would be the best football clubs in the world “

Benitez is going nowhere...

Delivering the club’s worst set of results in 30 years is a fairly obvious point really.

So another obvious point is Klopp lost six home games on the bounce last season which was the worst record for 70 years...

Aren’t facts great the way we can all get them to fit our arguments perfectly....

I don’t care about the RS mate.

And yeah, you can win any argument with facts ?

Who’s bothered about what them lot get up to.

The biggest issues are the quality in the squad and the level of injuries ew are carrying. That makes up the overwhelming amount of our problems.

It is good that you have the fortitude to not feel that you have to hide the fact that you are a Kopite. We can respect that. ?

Depends what set of results you choose....5 wins in 17 games is not good despite mitigating circumstances but I have seen worse in the last 20 years never mind 30 years

It’s funny how he came in and spruced up the medical department but now we’ve got more injuries than we’ve ever had.

So he is to blame for all the injuries?

The medical team have only just been sacked, and the injury situation goes back a lot longer. We had crazy injury problems all the way through Ancelotti’s tenure.
