2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[FrenchDarrenBent]

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.

Ok, that's it.
Sack Benitez!
Bring back Allardyce! Or Koeman, he'll be available soon! O Happy Days!

How happy we would be!

I think you'll find I am firmly on the record as being firmly anti-Koeman.

I haven't been this season yet.

How has the Goodison crowd reacted to Mr. Benitez?

Have they chanted his name?

First home game of the season against Southampton when he was announced there was generous applause from the majority but you could still hear boos as well. I neither booed him or applauded him (and that isn’t going to change for me ) and there were plenty around me who did the same.

They haven’t chanted his name and IMO I don’t see that changing anytime soon Khal.

Does anyone think there's a manager in world football who could get us top 4 and win us a trophy in the near future?

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

I'd be surprised if the purse strings are loosened in January but I live in hope.

Yep this

I must have fell asleep though mate when he received the standing ovation that was mentioned on here, and then woke back up when everyone was sitting back down.

Same but I mean given the ale I shifted pre match with my excitement to be back it was a possibility for me if I’m honest .

The good 7 mins. That's some serious shout. Gets me everytime.

I think Benitez’s acolytes dreamt he got a standing ovation from all corners of the ground mate and it was one of those dreams that felt like it really happened when in reality it never.

Please tell me if these lads aren't kids that they haven't kids of thier own.

'Alright son, let's talk. If anyone ever passes a snide remark to you. Hold onto that and hate him forever never forget it. Let it shape you and dictate your thoughts and opinions.

Just never change lad hold onto it.'

I mean I’m not in this group nor am I hugely exercised about the remark but that definitely sounds like the kind of advice I had passed down to me .

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.

It's very much an outside bet. Certainly not impossible but highly unlikely as it stands. We've made one final since 1995. I wouldn't describe that as coming close a fair few times. The odds of winning a trophy and finishing top 4? Well....

 

[The binman chronicles]

"He's amazing".

"Amazing".

Amazing.

Haven't you heard it's wrong to live in an echo chamber.

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.

You can say that four times again.

Pep wanting to win the League Cup so badly is a pretty big obstacle.
