2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[billyblue80]

We are absolute dog turd and the manager keeps the same tactics

 

[Milkman]

Maybe Benitez has an ego and attitude problem?

Of course he does. We knew that already. Why should that stop him kicking out others with an ego?

 

[windymiller]

Terrible tactics, but then again, these are terrible players, so what does it matter anyway.

Surely in that circumstance good tactics would matter a great deal.

 

[maccavennie]

We look like a wounded team and manager limping from one game to the next. It needs putting out of it's misery

Yep, it's not like we can say "well he's fixed that so thats a bonus".

He's absolutely clueless. He's stealing a wage currently.

 

[Grogu the blue]

Haven’t a clue how a supposedly defensive manager makes us look like a bunch of school boys defending crosses

 

[Nyhus]

Im aware this is a crazy statement, but i honestly think I would be able to set up our team better than Benitez. And i have never managed anything football related in my life.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Constantly relying on HIS own signings because the ones he inherited are 'kin cowards who wont step up and take responsibility.

All the worldies against us are damning indictments on his management, yet when his own signings score them they’re ‘lucky’.

Constantly relying on HIS own signings because the ones he inherited are 'kin cowards who wont step up and take responsibility.

God you’re pathetic. I rarely agree with you about much, but if you’d told me a year ago you’d be constantly singing the praises of an inept kopite managing us to 1 win in 12 games, I wouldn’t have believed it.

Gave you too much credit I guess.

 

[ChesterBlue]

There's some sad people in this thread.

We just won away to a Championship team in the cup.

Doesn't happen that often to this club.

Rejoice. This is a good thing. ?

Bold from a man who seems to delight in being contrarian and consistently winding up his fellow blues in his blind support of statistically one of, if not our worst manager ever.

 

[Milkman]

Surely in that circumstance good tactics would matter a great deal.

You would think so, but it's been quite a long time now and nobody has seemed to have found the answer.

 

[Colonel Getafe]

For me the worst performance of the season right there

Nonsense! I thought it was very kind of us to allow a tinpot Championship club the experience of playing an extra half hour against Premier League players. Would have been a special highlight for them. Wonderful gesture. ?

 

[davek]

Lads, lads - WE WON.

That's all you need to know about a cup match.

It should have been 5-2 if the ref was up to it.

We won.

To hear some of you you'd think you didn't want us to win....

Big smile on this face there on the BBC

 

[LinekersLegs]

Constantly relying on individual magic from gray or Gordon to bail out how bad we are week in week out, no style of play, no shape or discipline, getting played off the park week in week out

Cannot coach any improvement in defending, especially set pieces, means any game plan we do have goes out the window early on.

 

[FrenchDarrenBent]

Why concede so early again?
Surely even a League Two side can manage the occasional 0-0 after 15 minutes...
