2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[Ufotone]

Why set up so negative?

At home to Brighton for goodness sake

Will you ever learn Benitez

Close the door on the way out!

5 at the back at home and concede 3 goals

He's just telling 1 more person to do the wrong things. We will always concede with how we set up, how we zonal mark and how we play a very poor 'counter-attacking' football.

 

[Zeitgeist]

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.

Agreed

To play a pastied RB who is having his worst season to date at LWB with a French international on the bench is almost trolling

 

[Marius57]

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

But he is the one that has put us there. With all his experience.

Moyes had no PL experience and we were fighting relegation when he took over.

We know he's not a bad egg. I've got massive respect for Digne for calling him out, everyone can see what's going on, look at the state of the performances over the last 3 months. We are an absolutely shocking footballing side at the moment, primarily due to mismanagement.

….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. I expect he felt a bit silly after 5mins.

Being vaulted by @Eggs must be a low point in your posting history.

Get him walkin’.

If you’ve got any bottle Moshiri

I don’t give a monkeys about his Liverpool past. I believed it was a decent appointment at first. With Brands getting the heave Ho I reckon Benitez will keep his job for a few more games. I hope he has some transfer genius up his sleeve and that we find some form, but I have zero faith in him now and it looks with hindsight like a disastrous appointment

I think I pretty much agree with this. Am now of the view that something has to change, we can't go on with things the way they are

It's all about results and sadly, they don't lie.

 

[UltraVires]

Having watched West Ham the other day, I have to say I would love us to give old Bill his wish and go for Moyes again in the summer.

Not sure why he would come to us but he’s proven he knows how to work at our club, knows how to build a reliable team that suits modern day PL too

 

[Shibbywiggles]

I’m actually fuming at that. I genuinely can’t believe he started that formation with Coleman LWB and no attacking intent, it’s a disgrace. I thought he knew what Evertonian’s wanted??? Not effing that!

Could’ve played a back four with Godfrey LB with three in midfield by using Gomes instead of Kenny

Could’ve played a 4231 by using Iwobi instead of Kenny

Could’ve played a 442 with the same personnel but put Coleman RM and had Gray or Gordon as support striker


But no, Seamus Coleman, the most one footed player in the squad, left back, with a left midfield in front who also has no left foot and constantly cuts inside. Disgusting. And all those options were without using the France international left back who was sitting on the bench.

Livid.

 

[Efcjake]

Barely over a point per game is relegation stuff people. Wake up.

 

[Nymzee]

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.

Shameless backtracking.

 

[Toff33Blues99]

Who is for a bit of PotterBall..... @ForeverBlue92 @davek ?

 

[Saint Domingo]

Embarrass yourself then fine by me

Never seemed to have stopped you
In the past

 

[edge]

Any club with an ounce of pride would have sacked him weeks ago .
Got a bit of a bye because of the injuries but he is just crap , tactics, boring football I can put up with at times but this rubbish just isn't working.
