2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[Efcjake]

Can’t really argue with getting rid of a player who doesn’t want to be here

Can argue with forcing a French international out of the team.

 

[Zeitgeist]

Stay classy Round Face.

Dont see Digne out in the press chatting wham

People ask for communication then moan when the truth comes out?

 

[blue to the bone]

Or like Gray?!

Do you really think he’d of brought in Rondon if he had a blank cheque book like all the previous managers had?!

Your point was about him getting rid of players who aren't arsed and are over the hill.
Yet he signed and continues to play one who moves slower then an ice berg.
Why not bin him off now ?

I can see your point but this falls apart if you look at results and performances on the pitch.

Nobody will look back fondly on his supposed no nonsense approach if the team is relegated.

You can't proudly drain the swamp if you drown first

And I agree with you. But we can’t chastise him for doing what the majority of fans wanted before he arrived. Which was to get these wasters out of our club and to ruffle some feathers.

Perhaps the reason for no upturn in results is because all these types of players we’ve complained about, still don’t give a monkeys?

 

[Eagle Eye]

People want the team to do well and in he past they've thought (or just hoped maybe) that the approach you're talking about would help that happen but they aren't going to be happy when the approach doesn't seem to be working. It's honestly that simple. Going on about how you don't care about individual performances when the team can only finish 10th sounds a bit hollow when 10th currently seems like a pipe dream and 20th seems as likely if not more.

Well let's see where we finish then. This time last year we looked nailed on for top 6 with a Manager we all were behind. I am 100% behind Rafael on this particular topic, but he does need to start getting results. A top 10 finish is a must.

100% this

To be honest mate, if I was paid an absolute fortune to play for Everton Football Club I'd shut up and do exactly as I was told by my boss. Obviously Lucas Digne wouldn't.

Would you if you were a proper footballer though not just a fan getting a chance because I wouldn't I've had it out with plenty of bosses in the past and will do again in the future no doubt.

 

[Efcjake]

Same here.

When he lifted the Florida Cup thats when I said to meself "you'll do for me bonnie lad".

Playing the indifference game again you bell?

I’m sure with DCL fit, and a returning Richarlison soon we won’t see much of Rondon.

But when they were both out, there wasn’t exactly many others to pick from.

Simms missed all of pre season with his previous injury whilst on loan.

. . .and that went well.

Absolutely no one is 'forcing' Lucas Digne out of Everton though... that's the point!

This is HIS decision to abandon the club.

Potentially, but its upto a good manager to improve the players he has at his disposal and improve their form and output.

With virtually the same bunch of players he is under performing from the same point as last season.

Any decent manager would get an extra 10-15% out of these players.

Makes them easier to sell no, rather then letting them rot.

If 20th is one of the options then no I'll pass on just seeing where we finish I'd rather see the club take some action to stop what has become a terrible rot before it gets too late.

Yeah the manager won't play him and would rather we lose games but this is Digne's fault for wanting to leave a club where the manager won't play him because his ego is planet sized.

Get your head out his arse ffs

Simms and Dobbin were both available last Sunday. Had both played the previous game yet its rondon he brings on.
