2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[ForeverBlue92]

the problem is liverpool have a vastly better squad than we do, they have a vastly better manager than we do.

we rest players we end up fielding a disgustingly bad team. if players are fit they should be played.

Exaxtly - so take that up with Brands not slagging off the bloke who's been here 5 minutes and given the lowest budget in the league to spend this summer whilst juggling a mad injury list just 5 games in.

Why wont we win it? We have a good team, theres no reason why we couldn't aim to win it. None at all.

Prioritising players for the hopeless Norwich is rather odd.

There is no divine right to Everton beating Norwich on Saturday. Dont become like kopites i've known who think they should just be given 3 points against lesser sides.

 

[Big_nev]

but the game doesnt go to pens if he starts allan gray and doucoure, i mean charlie austin has just scored twice past us.

we lost because of the team he picked.

Then surely after all the money we have spent we should be giving our new manager who we've backed with a whopping 1.5m a much better SQUAD to pick from?

It's a failure on multiple levels that we are so poor beyond the first eleven.

 

[Carloblues]

You can say that all day long and we wouldn’t know the outcome, then when we play Saturday it’s why did he play them in the cup.

i mean it's not a fact we win, but facts are we played a terrible team and drew

we start gray allan and doucoure who've been up there our best players this season we are going to be better than the team that drew and totally dominated that second half

his decision to keep niasse on upfront for that long was comedy, his decision to leave the only other striker on the bench and play iwobi upfront was further comedy

Can't even finish QPR off...that's your manager right there.

7 players injured + Digne hobbled off

£1.5m spend

Lost on pens

**chucks rattle out the pram**


Not at all - go look at Liverpools team they put out tonight.

Our squad is crap because Marcel Brands has signed loads of crap.

You cant not rotate whatsoever during a season especially with half our team already injured.

But can you please stop acting like we've been playing like prime Brazil?

We played exactly the same today as we have in most of our games so far this season. No control, all about 'intensity' but just completely erratic.

 

[andy4efc]

I agree 100% that brands and moshiri are mostly at fault here. What brands has done to the squad is criminal.

But Benitez set that team up with our two least experience cb’s and his journeyman lug up front. He isn’t blameless in tonight.

That's it, the whole thing stinks. How Kenny, Holgate and Davies are still near the team is baffling.

 

[PhilRegan]

Biggest red flag of the season so far that one. We are conceding an alarming amount of easy goals for a defensive maestro manager. Another couple of losses after this I can sense a pay off.

Arrogant?

I call it realist. In the end, all the best players we have were on the pitch.

Still, the amateurish defending should stop, how many training do they need?

 

[BlueToff]

How are people having a go over that side?

FFS

yeah I don't get it really

six of those lads, possibly seven, start on Saturday

Four or five of them get in our strongest team

All that says to me is we're actually just crap

Ultimately, moshiri is to blame. You can cock up once, even twice. Maybe 3 times at a push. This clown is heading for double figures.

Win against Norwich at the weekend and we're on 13 points from 18 and possibly top 4/5.

That'll be a great start under Benitez. Only the injuries are presenting a cloud on the horizon.

You need a good squad to win a cup these days and that we do not have.

his Newcastle team were far from solid
