2021/22 Rafael Benitez

I fully agree with this facebook comment.

I actually warmed to him at first but now really starting to dislike his arrogant approach
I get that some players need to told and they aren’t the ones who should dictate but man management is a key component of being a manager…
Just seems that anyone who doesn’t agree with him is going to be bombed out of the club…
That cannot be a long running approach to our players

Simple really.

In Koeman and Silva first seasons we had better results than under Benitez.

You'd be hard pressed to find a manager with a worse record than Benitez.

Looking back on it, Koeman does/did exactly what Benitez does - points the blame at everyone else and makes enemies (see Barcelona also).

Bentiez is next level though. But it always doesn't work. Always.

Have a bad feeling about the result today. Just feel like he’ll pass this fa cup chance up, in order to get a result Tuesday against Leicester. Dangerous way to play it that. Especially when we want a trophy. Reckon he’s out with a lose?

I can’t bring myself to watch his press conferences, but, I read today that he said in yesterday’s that his tactics are good, Chelsea play 3 at the back and they are at the top. He says it’s just individual mistakes holding his system back. He’s missed one or two salient points there... if it is individual mistakes, isn’t it his job to coach them out? What he doesn’t seem to realise or accept is that our central defenders and wing backs are just not in the same league as those at Chelsea and our midfielder are certainly not good enough to play as a two against most teams in the premier league.

If it wasn’t at Everton that we were watching this arrogant conceited dinosaur, I would be loving every minute of it and finding it hugely amusing. It really must be very funny to watch our demise under the master tactician, if you support anyone bar Everton.

Unfortunately no, I’m sure he’s covered his bases with the Iranian and explained to him how Lucas Digne has stopped him being able to compete in the cup and that if we lose today it is Brands’ fault, or injuries, or 1.7 million, oh wait no I mean 28.7 million.

I'm not even getting slagged for it. I'm getting feckin' sympathy. That's how bad it is!!!

What about when we lose to Leicester on Tuesday

Considering Leicester have a massive injury crisis (was reading that they only have 8 fit first team squad players available for their cup game against Watford) and also have 4 players away at AFCON mate there can't be any excuses whatsoever if we don't beat them.

Looking forward to the fume in here tomorrow night when we stick it to hull 3-0

I can't stand Benitez and want him gone, if we win 3-0 I'll be happy.

Fingers crossed we do. Would be nice to beat a relegation threatened championship team with ease and get a cup run as we have nothing else to look forward to this season.

One result vs a crap team doesn't change things about benitez for me though after his run of results.

Peter Reid commented that he didnt like Rafael calling Everton a small club. Then how he said he did it because we set up defensively in an away derby, yet he sets up ultra defensively at home to Brighton. Is Benitez trying to prove a point?

Nah, he's just crap, mate.

If I was managing the team, at this point in time I would do the same.

If we were higher up the table, then putting a very strong team out would be the way to go, but the priority currently is keeping as many 1st team players fit and available for the league game

The DoF system may work in europe but doesn.t work over in England. Is there a British club where a DoF succeeds?

Yup, your right - that’s why Man City, Chelsea and the kopites all have one!
Apologies @riddick - just spotted you beat me to it!

What a curious comment.
Why would anyone fume on here over a 3-0 Everton victory ?
The overwhelming majority on here are Evertonians ( apart from the odd Dalian Pro supporter). A victory tomorrow will be welcomed by most on here including myself.
Dislike of the managers style of football or the way the club is run does not preclude supporting the team on the pitch.
Like many on here I attend every home game, (and have done for over 5 decades now), plus as many aways as I can. During those games I kick and head every ball, and attempt to shout, cheer and sing Everton to victory, regardless of the manager, always will.
When the final whistle is blown I will celebrate or vent my frustrations depending on the result.
I dislike watching the negative football this manager coaches and dislike his truculent nature.
I am unhappy with our form and league position which is simply unacceptable and as a result would like Benitez to be replaced immediately.
But I still hope and desire Everton F.C. to win every game they play.
