If Benitez turns it around a certain few suspects will no doubt be making fools of themselves.

And if he doesn't, a certain few suspects will have made fools of themselves. Funny how that works, isn't it?

I feel like pretty much every game for a while now my dislike grows but I’d like nothing more than a few straight wins and his smiling grid at Wembley , to be clear for the FA cup not the playoffs. I just find it hard to see success in his future .

You can clearly see the core of the 'hatebrigade' in that poll. Even if we were top of the league, you'd find something to loan about.

Could run the poll again using the same questions?

Thanks for the pie update.

I think we need more pie based content on GOT. Including presenting these Benitez poll results as pie charts.

What's not to love about a good pie?

I'm telling snider on you in the group chat. You're becoming a lose cannon.

Which variant? Tom Holland Snider, Andrew Garfield Snider, or Toby Maguire Snider?

I wonder if Benitez is popular in another universe?

Watched too many films, here.

lol

Is that all you lot have got left after Operation Pitchfork died a death?

To indulge you: my reaction is that it's a fake and that if it was genuine I'd shrug my shoulders and think 'who gives a flying one what he signs'.

Tragic. Utterly tragic.

'fake' - as if someone good go to those lengths? lol

You said the other week you wanted Everton to lose a game so that it would negatively impact Liverpool.

You're a parody

That fellow who we took on got Wigan relegated and won the FA cup, what does one think?

At this exact moment I think relegation is a lot more likely than any kind of cup run never mind a trophy .

Just give thanks I'm not in that Current Affairs forum whooping ass.

As if…….

I might respect him a bit if he admits that Digne talked [Poor language removed] to his face about his tactics in front of everyone and asked him to leave this football club...
But people love one side story from two-faced manager lol

We were crap for 15 minutes and tbf Hull were actually very good. Amazingly this is what happens in cup games. The defence isn’t right and he’s trying to fix that, I thought the new LB did ok. I was pleased with Gomes in midfield and apart from Rondon the attack was reasonably fluid. It could have been 3-3 or it could have been 6-3 to us. It’s pointless talking about the goals we conceded because we all know the problems. But the goals we scored were all first class, one passing through the defence, one a peach of a cross from the wing and one a screamer. We have DCL and Richy to return with Gray, Gordon and Townsend all playing well. Apart from Rondon, he seems to be buying well. We still need a commanding CH and a consistent midfield, and then to get the dross off the payroll. We won’t be relegated, we will improve and may well end up with better acquisitions…. I was nervous the other week but less so now….

It's not pointless to talk about the goals we conceded, it is the no. 1 thing the manager should be sorting out. We can't keep conceding from set-pieces, it's like watching a Martinez defence but instead of Lukaku up front we've got Rondon.

If this is him trying to sort the defence out Pete then we should be very worried.

His approach to 'sorting' the defence out is just what it was at Newcastle. Play 541.

Tbf to Jaffa he didn’t buy any of those CB's. I think Keane is a disgrace. He has no presence about him. He can only work with the tools he has at his disposal. I would have Branthwaite over Keane all day. He still has a lot to learn but he's more than capable at playing there now. Holgate another one who hasn’t improved.
