Since Roberto Martínez departed in 2016, Everton have decided that none of Ronald Koeman, Sam Allardyce, Marco Silva or Benítez are quite for them. Given Carlo Ancelotti won only six of 19 home games last season, he might have found Goodison Park turning against him had fans been in the ground and there is some suggestion he was coming under internal pressure before jumping ship for Real Madrid.

With the best league start in a decade before injuries to key players led to a collapse, was Benitez to blame?

I'll let you the fans decide

Yes. Every manager struggles with injuries. All teams have fluctuating form. He is the only one to go from winning to a preposterously bad run of losses, no matter the squad he had.

Worst manager we have had. If we go down this season, it will be because of what agent snailbody did to this club.

Anything labelled at Ancelotti is absolutely false to make him out that he failed here and wanted out.

Couldn't be further from the truth.

When did this suddenly become a thing? Last season we had the same start in the league plus some cup wins.

But that's not solely down to him is it?

Decades of mismanagement leading to where we are now. A dysfunctional structure and a cluless owner. Ancelloti walking out as he knew we were going nowhere fast. Rodriguez treating us terribly and wanting out well before benitez came. Misspent hundreds of millions leaving benitez with a terrible squad and nothing to spend. Players well past their sell by date. Injuries. An angry and toxic crowd that was never going to give him a chance and have given the players dogs abuse game after game. Hardly an environment to encourage success on the pitch.

Its far too simplistic to put it all on benitez or claim he's the one with primary responsibility for where we are now.

And if you think that squad should be challenging for Europe I'm stunned.
