2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[Colonel Getafe]

Been as quiet as a church mouse this season, clearly been told to sit down and shut up! Not sure he’s even allowed to do the subs board any more?

the only subs board Rafael lets him hold is the Subway lunchtime menu

 

[Colonel Getafe]

No excuses.

I dunno about that - the ball is looking overly round, the wind is a bit windier than usual, and I'm not quite happy with that particular shade of green for the grass...... - oh plus, Mina something fitness, DCL fitness something. (Almost forgot that bit).

It's Norwich. They've won 2 league games all season. I'm pretty sure even our lot can win that one. Probably.

What was the score the last time we played a Dean Smith side?

He may have The Kopites number.

Maybe, maybe not. I wont be rushing out to bet the farm on it, but I'd much rather be playing one of the few sides who are worse than us than one of the 14 who are better. If we're gonna get 3 points anywhere surely it'll be from the team that have lost 13 of 19.

I’d sack him if he loses,

got to agree. But I bet they are looking at this fixture and thinking they can get at us. If we lose it’s gonna be horrifying.

Things are bad when you’re not fully confident going to Norwich

I dont think so. Not in this season.

But next season when we are battling it out to be top of the championship it will be?

Davek's disco always has a line around the corner.

Got shut down due to the pandemic, plus there was very little call for full length remixes of Soviet military marching bands.

Nottingham Forest are a very good example of what difference a good coach can have on a club in disarray. They had mad unrest between players and fans, disliked directors, questionable recruitment, 5 wins in 27 before Hughton sacked. Now complete harmony, just below play-offs, just 3 defeats since he took over.

Meanwhile... sacking Benitez won't magically solve all of our problems, but you can't discount the potential effect that could be had by swapping him with a genuinely good manager or even just a mediocre one that the fans and players can have faith in.

OMG…someone has voted IN this evening

I think you really overestimate how good this team is.

More Kopites on here than we initially believed, the IN has gone up a bit since we fluked an extra time win against a team in a relegation fight at the bottom of the Championship, absolutely jawdropping.... They will have the club they deserve and be the 1st ones moaning when the club goes down and ceases to exist, relegation would send this club in to financial meltdown.

Premier League table after 19 games last season....

Be boss if we had a record of 3 wins in 14 league games and 2 of them were Norwich city.

Imagine the heights we reach from doing the double over Norwich Madrid
