2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[Marius57]

Yes, of course you can achieve 10-12 places by keeping this group of players happy. Just repeat the process year after year. But if we are to develop, then someone must break this circle.

Yes, but breaking that cycle could be higher than 10th or lower than 12th. Unfortunately right now, its the wrong one.

 

[Toffeelover]

You can’t expect us to compete with giant clubs like Palace, Brighton, Wolves and West Ham for the tenth place trophy. We won’t compete until Rafael is DOF, Chairman, Manager and Right Back. Rafaton

Already Brighton at 9th 19 games and Wolves at 9th 19 games with 28 and 27 points respectively.

yeah,last season was boss!
i liked the bit best when james was sitting on a private jet in pjs while his mates were getting snotted 5-0!

I’m not sure where I said or even implied that last season was boss

But, just while we’re on that, we’d need to take 40 points from the 60 left on offer this season to match last season’s total

The stuff about Reid clearly wasn't a dig, by the way. Dunno how people reached that conclusion....

Reid himself has even said he didn't see it as a dig.

 

[BlueToff]

He stablised Newcastle and Chelsea.

He didn’t

 

[magicjuan]

He stablised Newcastle and Chelsea.

So is he actually Rafael Allardicio?

 

[Egil Olsen]

Yes, but breaking that cycle could be higher than 10th or lower than 12th. Unfortunately right now, its the wrong one.

Sometimes you have to take a step back, before taking 2 forward.

It wasn’t a dig but there was no need to say it as, given Reid had criticised Sunday’s performance (and ergo the manager), it was easy to put the dots together

 

[Abertonian]

He had a handful of games to save a doomed Newcastle and then got them back up the following season and then stabilised them in the PL.

Doomed. 1 point from safety with a game in hand.

 

[Toast]

He won't have many excuses if we don't

Evans would be the more likely scorer of the two of those weirdly enough the way we set up from corners.

 

[TommyDavo]

Ilm not even arsed about the cup this season. We have bigger priorities than that.

I'll be happy if we progress but Ild rather lose this and beat Norwich.

And therein is the difference between me and you. Can’t stand this manager and his tactics but I want Everton to win every game. Not the first time you’ve wished defeat on my team

Indeed….

I'm watching the Mykolenko & Patterson training video...

They've been doing what I imagine is supposed to be a pressing game, but its turn into a possession one as Dunc is shouting out the number of passes made, but the pressing is completely random, disjointed and slow.

Quite weird to watch really.

 

[Death]

fsw said he only wants players who want to play for everton and he wont pander to egos.
had a slight dig at ancelloti saying finishing 10th and boosting egos of well paid footballers is not good enough.

Thanks niki

What bigger priorities? You’ve been saying we’re in no danger this season and have been laughing at anyone with relegation fears?
