2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[UltraVires]

1) anyone - many managers across Europe would love a chance to manage in the PL with a club like ours
2) anyone - pretty sure the majority of managers in Europe aren't even on half of what benitez is on because of his 'PL experience'
3) why do they need experience in this league?

We are in dire straights no doubt and I think that we need PL experience to get us to the end of the season and then by all means, fire RB off as quick as possible

 

[Kev The Rat]

I am not sure he would come given he was coaching Bayern a few years ago and he has no idea of the PL either. To come into a side this bad with no experience is a huge gamble and it’s not like he will have a lot of time at finch farm given the fixture pile up.

Managers aren’t like players, they have much more limited options if they actually want to coach.

It’s why we got Ancelotti

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Wanted him at the time, said as much in here, got shouted down by plenty. He’s a manager with a plan and a style, which is more than can be said about most managers we’ve been linked with.

Would have been a forward thinking appointment

Instead Moshiri got his 00’s Premier League sticker collection out and picked out of that

Probably scrambling for Abram Grant’s phone number as we speak

Play three at the back and conceded three goals
Play two up front but stop crossing lol

You answered that better than me thanks!

When Coleman is playing ahead of Digne at left back, you’re not putting the club first, you’re trying to make a point.
And if your in the belief that he’s a bad egg so Benitez is getting rid of him, then he shouldn’t have been near the bench.
The fact he is on the bench shows Benitez would still use him if he decides to.

His last PL job was awful. His last job in management at all was awful. He is awful.

 

[ToffeeTim]

This team only plays well when they fall behind and then ignore the clowns tactics and have a go.

I've never seen worse defending in all my life. Play a flat back 5 at home and concede 3 goals. Get out you incompetent fool

 

[Efcjake]

How have I?

I've repeatedly said for weeks I couldn't give a toss if he was sacked tomorrow.

The fact I backed him at the start of the season like any reasoned Evertonian should doesn't mean I back him 100% week in week out.

Im just not part of the salivating pitchfork brigade who think this squad of players are any good/being held back.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA


No, no, no you don't get to pretend like you haven't spent every day these past 3 months we've been crap telling us it's raining while Benitez has been pissing all over Evertonian heads.

You've not been quiet in your adamant support for this man and the forum is not going to forget you and others backing this man to the hilt.

 

[Terrarian]

His tactics cost us again today. Get gone fraud.

….pre-game the luvvies @davek @4737carlin @ForeverBlue92 were laying it down;

….was Dave’s prediction knowing Benitez plays flowing football that would scare Brighton away.

…FB92 more circumspect but playing 10 men behind the ball would be fine with a 1-0 win. We were 2 down in 20mins.

….whilst Carlin said it was bizarre we couldn’t see how Benitez would set-up the team, except he was very wrong.

Wow, even eggs is scrambling people today

That’s how bad this situation is!

 

[Carloblues]

For the record I do not want potter.

But I'd rather have potter any day of the week tab this slob

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

@Daveysgingerlovechild is ye man

Bad man , you.

I'm like Paul Merson here. On the verge of breaking my own fingers before placing a bet via an app sorta thing...

Another dismal result though, innit? I'm sure there'll be loads of discussion about being a penalty miss away from a draw, showing fight in the second half etc.

Fine, sure, but by christ, why that set up? What was that starting line up? How on earth do we consistently surrender the initiative and unfailingly go behind? Why wait until being behind before taking the initiative (of sorts) Why is this not being addressed?

Grim.

 

[mikel_88]

Pathetic tatics today no excuse for the team he started with, subs terrible. No excuse the team he put out players not good enough but the set up cost us

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Yes Mikey, keep swinging.

They need to own up to how massively wrong they've been about everything.

Potter showed Benitez up as the fraud he is today.

Benitez showed himself up just fine by setting up a back five with Coleman at left back and Digne on the bench - Potter just tapped into an open net
