2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[catcherintherye]

You could say that about us to. Fan expectation is far higher than anything that can ever be achieved. Spurs will never win the premier league or any other significant trophy.

We will likely never win anything ever again in my lifetime. Seventh is our trophy.

If Leicester win a league, so can we. Lots of clubs at our level win trophies.

I'm not a big fan of Keane but he was better at defending corners last season(and scoring from them) under a different manager which was your point right? it would be the same under a different manager you said. Not Benitez' fault or something like that... He's not a good manager anymore, every metric makes it clear...the most important being 5 wins all season

This has been coming for years mate…the club is a mess, poor recruitment, no stability, no plan. At least now everything is coming out and things are getting changed. We finished 10th under Carlo Ancelotti, we need a major rebuild. I’m happy to give him time, unless we are in serious danger of relegation.

2 young players signed. Add them to the likes of dcl, richy, Gordon and get in a progressive manager to develop a proper team.
Not a backward dinosaur.

There's so much there to build on now. Reminds me of Leicester a couple of years ago. Not sure Rafael is the man to bring on all this talent but he's done well with Gordon and Gray. Maybe he deserves the chance to build a side that can properly challenge.

No. He doesn't. He needs to be sacked ASAP

Probably. I've been very disappointed with him tactically this season, the organisation has been shocking.

Individually though players are performing (with a few obvious exceptions) and key players have been missing.

but a couple of points off Europe
we are, what if we leave it too late to make the change?

Two outfield players are performing. Two.

One of whom wouldn’t be within shouting distance of Benitez’s starting XI if it weren’t for covid/injuries

When did the definition of “a couple” get changed to mean 14?

We have won 1 game in 12. We are along with Norwich the worst form team in the league.
We are conceding terrible goals and playing deplorable football. There is nothing to justify keeping him In a job he should never have got .

we weren't 14points off Europe last year

Any sign of @4737carlin tonight.
He's surely going to hold us all and tell us things will be ok

Ah my mistake. Thought you were talking about now. Thought it seemed a weird thing to say

 

[Armaghtoffee]

Where did I say I want you to trust Moshiri?

I can understand people being disappointed and pissed off. That part I get.

The part I dont get is after every defeat the posts rammed with "he's got to go now" and "That's the end for him after that".

How do people think that when we know this owner is 100% behind Benitez and he's allowing him to reconfigure the club behind the scenes and now spend tens of millions of his cash?

I dont get it. It's wasted energy.

If we're not in decent shape by the end of the season I'd say we need to rethink the manager situation. But there'll be no change of manager between now and then, and it'd be highly irresponsible if the manager situation did change. One false move and we really could be looking at spiralling to the bottom of the league.

Keep your heads. New players will be coming in and players like Calvert-Lewin will be back up to speed and we'll get our good results again.

Is the owner right or wrong Dave? 100% behind the manager.

Should we trust him or not?

Things are getting worse by the week. Worrying

Creating scores of multis to vote in the Benitez In/Out poll takes a lot of time you know
