2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[gazzaa2]

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

Pickford, Doucore, Allan, Gray and Gordon are performing well. That's half a team near enough. It's the defence that's killing us.

When they've got on the pitch the likes of Mina, DCL and Richy have produced match winning performances and they're our better players. Even Delph had a stormer when he came on at Wolves and helped us nearly turn that game around.

Two new full backs in and a returning Mina, Richy and DCL and we'll be a completely different team in a month and pushing back up the league.

Supposedly we can't blame Benitez because he's just been unlucky to be at the helm when everyone at the club from top to bottom are crap. lollollol

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.

We are in serious danger of relegation.
But shall we wait for a couple more defeats just to make sure ?

Been supporting this club for 50 years, seen good and bad but mostly indifferent .
Today was the first time when I have looked at the line up and been unable to understand the reasons or tactics behind it.
Tried to give Rafael a chance but he is taking the urine and Farhad needs to do one as well.

You must have significantly lower standards than I do if you think Allan and Doucoure are performing well.

Since when have our two CM's been performing well?

Suspect you mate.

 

[blue to the bone]

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

Come on @4737carlin .
Defend the man you have told us is our future and stop lurking.

Allan has been crap, Doucoure hasn't been much better.

 

[Spadge Vernacular]

Oh for Gods sake behave.

Blues invest a lot of emotion in our club. People have issues. ?

You and others trolling good blues about Benitez need to suck it up.

I smell something. It could be the dog..
But I doubt it

Dinosaur dinosaur ?

not even one of the cool dinos like a T-rex or anything

he's one of those long neck ones

Posting history is interesting too. Only rocks up when we’re on a bad run or a manager’s under pressure

I think they're doing what they can but the tactics are wrong and they're left exposed. Hopefully will find the right system once a midfielder is signed.

 

[BrendanGOT]

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

I think he only has a few games left. Even if Mosh sticks with him the minute we go 17th/ 18th he'll be gone which will give us most the season to turn it around. There are teams worse than us even Big Dunc could probably guide us to safety in that amount of games. We're pretty much half way to safety anyway but the season now is a complete write off, again. The injuries and spend will prob give Benitez more time but he should probably be gone after that disgrace today as he has no more excuses esp when hes making decisions to leave Digne on the bench
