2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[Kev The Rat]

What's the point in top half, top eight. Been there done that under Davey, no silverware.
We have the money to aim higher... But we have to be smarter

So you admit we are better than our league position demonstrates.

Thanks for that.

 

[lorens]

what do you think about benites in general?
haven't read the topic, but I can say that his tactics are a bit primitive and outdated.

No I didn't. I only admitted that Everton FC should aim higher than 8th place.

A bottom 5 manager that’s dragged us to his level and got some fans thinking that’s acceptable. Got us below Ralph hasslehoutles side ffs

according to the poll, I see that a lot of people are satisfied, so I'm a little bit surprised.
never understood his tactics to play an outsider with a little control of the ball and such an "entertainment game" can drive any fan to madness.

Benitez got his tactics wrong today and Soton go above us by winning at a David Moyes 1 win in 7 West Ham who are doing exactly what Moyes Everton teams did on a regular seasonal basis. See what Benitez can do in January as looking on here he should have won today despite not playing

I fully expect us to steamroller everyone now, we are now much much better as it's the second half of the season, the boss told us.

Then we can’t expect any better than 15th with the current squad ?

He said top 7 tbf

 

[Bluestar]

Ok I’ll be generous and say top half

Mid table is where this squad is at.
With a really good run, we could challenge European places.
With the injuries we’ve had, bottom third is a definite possibility.

When players come back and we’re over the injury crisis, I expect somewhere between 13th and 10th .

As has been pointed out we’ve not played for nearly 2 weeks and everyone’s on the ale as it’s Xmas.

New Year and clear heads will soon sort that out.

If he does that, he can stay but I can't see it. Mid you we always used to wait until the new year under Moyes before we decided to get going.

You can expect that I hope you hold Benitez to his own estimation which was 7th

And what was regarded as par by his defenders when he joined.

He hasn’t a prayer of 7th

Problem is he can’t bluff the league table like he bluffs everything else.

Looking forward to the second half of the season as per benitez. We can't be much worse. Then again everything he's said so far has been completely wrong and the opposite has happened.
