2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[MikeH72]

A manager, not even necesarily a top one will get the best out of the current group of players BEFORE playing the way he wants, thats just basic non league level of common sense.... Then he introduces his ideas and players over time.

Benitez has massively under achieved and forced a system on them that does not suit hence form has dropped off a cliff... Why are we not playing the same as when we won 3 of our 1st 4 games, the other being a draw at Leeds. Why arent we? That is our best route out yet HE carries on with this 5-4-1/5-2-3 which many wil say is 3-4-3 but it isnt because all 5 at the back are defenders with not a lot going forward.

We got to pray Watford and Newcastle dont start picking up point because we will be in a whole heap of ?, this 5 at the back formation has conceded 5 goals to Brighton and Hull, major footballing elites! Dont give me that we dont have the players when the screenshot is where we were last season WITHOUT Gray, Townsend, Rondon, Begovic, Lonergan, Mykolenko and Patterson.

and Mourinho's trumps Benny's, but I wouldn't want Jose within a hundred miles of the cloob no matter how good he was 15 years ago.

Would you have wanted Moyes prior to 18 months ago?

Benefit of hindsight eh?

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Yeah I mean Moyes totally trumps Benitez's CV doesn't he? lol

No, but one has their club 1pt off the top 4 and the other has their 1pt off 16th

Holy smoke
“If you analyse my teams, they are aggressive, they go on the front foot and press, and try to regain the ball high up the pitch, create chances and score goals,” Benitez told evertontv
He’s such a fibba
Think he mixes up tactics with the kin food variety tic tac ‘os ?

No, personally I was/am of the opinion we should be moving forwards not looking back. I've said a few times Moyes is thought of throught the WH lense and despite him currently doing a good job, the 7/8 years inbetween have all been forgotten about.

But Rafael's CV has very little of note in the last decade on it. I'd say it was utterly baffling why anyone who thought a guy who relegated Newcastle and had his feet up in China was a good choice, but then, it's not baffling at all when you know who the clown calling the shots is.

And thus, here we are.........

I cant wait till we sack him.

And Moyes relegated Sunderland, got sacked at Utd & Real Sociedad.

Whats to say in 18 months time Benitez doesn't have us doing well?

Christ! Can you imagine if Benny-Boy is still here in 18 months?!?! There'll be civil war in this place ?

(although I suppose it's not beyond the realms of imagination that maybe, just maybe, he might get us to the dizzying highs of 12th with enough time and money...)

 

[billyblue80]

These postponements prolonging his tenure. You know we would have three or four more losses without postponements

Be lucky to be mid table

While Benitez relegated Newcastle and even failed at his retirement gig in CHINA

As for the last bit... logic. Logic says he won't.

Back in the real world Benitez mind voice said:

“If you analyse my teams, they are passive, they sit on the back foot and invite pressure, and allow the opposition to gain the ball high up the pitch, create chances and score goals.”
