2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[Cork Evertonian]

If we had a decent manager, i'd give us some hope. But we've got the worst manager in our history sitting in the dugout. Fighting for your life against Hull City. I don't see what the plan is with this manager. With Benitez there is no hope and there is no future.

 

[Nymzee]

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....

So, you at Chelsea then?

 

[davek]

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

It's so transparent it's laughable.

There are people here tonight who were desperate to see Hull beat us.

They may have done if the manager's signings hadn't been made.

Benitez won that game for us back in the summer when he signed Gray and Townsend.

 

[Milkman]

you’re in the minority

Oh am I?

Well, FSW out now then!

You’re the only one around here who wants us to lose games multiple times a season

 

[Davidoff]

Gone beyond trolling now

Better

I'll give him credit for that, Dave, but let's not go overboard. His five-at-the-back setup is a disaster. We play much, much better in a 4-3-3.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Imagine having standards so belly-of-a-snake low that you watch that game and think “all’s well that ends well”

We won. Job done. There is no inquest on formations.

FFS do you have no joy in watching an Everton win?

Not when your standards are as low as yours, no.

 

[Nymzee]

It's alright, we'll line up the same way again vs Leicester, get beat and suddenly it's back to the players not the system.

 

[DrEFC]

Disastrous at setting up a defensive back line. Thought that was his bread and butter. All season has relied on individuals producing wonder goals. Tactically inept, and sluggish to change it on the pitch.

I found very little joy in watching us get outplayed for most of 120mins by a Championship relegation candidate, no.

Pleased to win, sure, but my standards are higher than to enjoy that performance.
