2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[ForeverBlue92]

You kept saying he is here for 3 years and beyond though, not just this season. You've quietened recently as the form continued to plateau at incredibly low levels mind.

I've always maintained he'll be here 2-3 years unless he falls into the bottom 3 and struggles to get out of it in which the owners will take action.

At a time of FFP austerity and a new stadium being built only a fantasist would truly believe the current manager gets booted being in midtable and not challenging for top 6 with this squad of players.

Which is what the sensible posters have been trying to tell you for months yet have been accused as being "wind ups" "edgy" by the bedsheet bandits.

Try "realists".

Thank you for proving my point so quickly about you, and sorry, can’t take anything you write seriously. You dodge questions you don’t want to answer, like a weird coward of a poster. Get in the bin, you are a living joke.

I haven't quietened. I see what he is dealing with and like Ancelloti realised... you cannot polish a turd. The Club needs flushing

I was talking about fb92.

But ultimately, ancelotti got us to 10th. And over his time here averaged like 1.5 points per game. Surely that's the baseline.

We have been stable in mid table for like 15 years. He has us 15th currently.

We aren't mid table. And the previous manager had us like 8 points from 4th last season. We are double that away from 4th already.

There were like a handful of bedsheets last summer

I really don't think it is just those who put silly messages on bedsheets who don't support the manager.

He won’t get the boot for that with this injury crisis. But there’s no way he’s at the club in three years. Moshiri hasn’t backed any manager for that length of time.

Like the @Death /FB92 love in of old, before he got the chop.
Arrrrruuu. hmmmm

Yeah, I'm not so sure there's any shenanigans, but I think it's noticeable that a recently signed up member has come straight in with the sort of arguments that even a casual lurker can see causes ructions.

Which would naturally align with @ForeverBlue92 given he's so prominent on here. He's (FB92) also clearly chuckling his way through this (I always imagine him honking away on a bong laughing his tits off as he posts) so of course he's going to poke the beast, so to speak.

Makes me want to invest in a bong, tbf. I'd call it the Benitez-blaster.

Me personally, I'm sick to the back teeth of defence first football, any manager now comes in and plays like this can gtfo for me. We seemingly can't win bugger all so i at least want to watch proper football.

Nothing to do with his RS connection for me, all about the football and results, which are not good enough and I'm not having that our squad is as bad as being made out.

It is up to the manager, you know, his bloody job, to find ways to win. It is unrealistic to expect him to have all his own players, not/never going to happen, has never happened to any manager in the history of the game. You work with what you have and try to build.

But that is exactly what I mean when he’s trying to be witty and edgy. Just makes himself look ridiculous.

The fact is we all agreed Ancelotti underperformed; so if this guy finishes well below 10th with arguably a better squad (always available Gray/Townsend vs never available Rodriguez and stat padder Gylfi) then he’s just not very good and we’re in fact going backwards, right?

Yes a very big 'arguably' better squad. 1.7m to spend. If he had 40m - 50m to spend then I would say we should have a better squad and you would not have seen most of those signings. That is a hands tied behind your back transfer window. With the injuries to our better players he has to deal with other managerial/DoF failings. Tough task and it is obviously showing

You've been proven to be a bozo these past few months yet are now agreeing with the same people You've been slating none stop yet continue to take the intellectual high ground.

You couldn't make it up.

 

[catcherintherye]

Your wrong.. I back Benitez just as much as some in here hate him.. your saying it’s not alrite for me to question wether people deserve him or not but you don’t speak out about the people who call Benitez backers names do you and question us... if you are going to post be fair.. look at it both ways...

That's your right to back Benitez. Whats completely out of order if your you to start suggesting supporters don't deserve manager. Who on earth do you think you are to start dictating whether I do or don't deserve a manager? Have you ever clocked 20,000 miles a year watching the team home and away?

You've followed up a ridiculous post with another lie as well. I have called out people calling the manager names and said it is the wrong way to address the situation. It would be appreciated if you could answer the questions, and retract the lies you have said.

You have no idea what I’ve been posting over the last few months. You are just a continuing and relentless poster of absolute guff.
I am way beyond your dim witted comprehension.
Go find someone else to try and debate with, I can’t get down to your level.

And you do make stuff up, quite regularly.

I just want to watch a team who actually try and play football

bored of 25% possession and praying for a counter

What’s the money got to do with it if I showed which players left and which came in? Is it or is it not a better squad than last seasons?
