2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[Bkk Andy]

Benitez being manager will not stop me going to the game but I fully understand fans who will not go while he is here.
He is totally a RS legend and that is unlikely to change though they do seem to have memory lapses over why he was sacked.
What can he do now to win supporters over?
Carry on winning , get us into the top four and win us a trophy. Nothing else will be good enough so if he isn't up to it he shouldn't have taken the gig.

No manager in world football could get us as 2 top 4 and win us a trophy in the near future. If that's your criteria we'd have no one to pick a team.

Ffs, will you stop saying all the right things Benitez. Its not fair.

….insight into discussions with individual players is particularly impressive for me.

I still feel he shouldn’t be here but I always thought he was a decent coach.

One or the other will do mate I'll give him a little bit of leeway like.

 

[Runub]

Come on mate. how does that show he's a Kopite?
He just loves the City... according to all these Superblues still dehydrating themselves wildly into their socks after our good 7 mins the other night.

I was merely pointing out the timescale not trying to confirm whether kopite or not

Sammy Lee in our dugout out , another stain on the history of EFC.

Allerdyce was the bigger stain. The fact he is dragged out on the media to talk about us is sickening. He's like a one night stand that slept with someone famous trying to dine out on their moment of glory.

 

[Runub]

It's a really good point to be fair.
As someone who was lucky enough to be around in the 80s and saw Sheedy play I really liked him and he was one of my favourite players. However if memory serves me right he only played for their reserves or if I'm wrong he didn't play many 1st team games for the RS. So I don't associate him with them.
Benitez on the other hand was revered ( maybe still is ) by kopites and I always regarded him as the personification of the RS and summed up everything that I hate about them ..... a false sense of entitlement , arrogant and half decent.

Sheedy played just the three competitive games for the RS across four years

We don't have the squad at the moment for a top 6 finish....but you never know when window opens in January.

Why couldn't a manager win us a trophy? We have come close a fair few times. That is a realistic goal.

Look at what Arsenal have won recently.

And Leicester.

Ha ha....haven't you heard? We (or brands rather) don't do January.

Saved us from relegation and went that Summer.
A lot have done a lot worse and stayed.

 

[Barca Blue]

Really good presser again.
Couple of hacks fishing for him to mention the RS but he didnt bite instead he mentioned every other team he has managed.
Impressed with Mr Benitez

 

[Moonlight dribbler]

Looks fairly recent this.
Surely it's not from the last one?



He's one of them
Always will be

He is not arsed about Liverpool prefers the pound. I am happy with that, he is here to be successful for himself, and if he is, we win. The Liverpool thing is all Pantomime.
