2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[tommye]

Rondon really is Brett Angel levels of bad isn’t he ?

Even on a free, WTF was Benitez thinking.

Harsh on Brett all this talk yenno

You don't win games on paper Dave unfortunately we have to go out the pitch and do it and with the dross available that is no forgone conclusion.
Benitez is not to blame for the playing staff but he knew what he was getting himself into and Saturday is massive for him now.

No it isn't. We WILL win it, but this isn't a massive game for Benitez.

Are there really people knocking about who seriously think this feller will get sacked this season?

Utter fantasy.

2 losses in a row for the mighty FSW. Got it all wrong tonight, the first 11 looked so weak and the defence getting taught a lesson by Charlie Austin is embarrassing. Been shown up in the last 2 games as incompetent dinosaur he is. Seems the Benitez lovers are bit quieter all of sudden , can't think why. Is that statue on hold for now?

 

[davek]

Ancelotti wouldn't of cared, in fact there times we had great wins last season and he didn't look arsed, just cold and devoid of any passion one way or the other

Benitez says the right things. That matters for me.

 

[Papa Shango]

Maybe, but he was still on for over 30 mins.

Yeah we looked better, and he should have had a pen, but he/we didn't really 'boss' it. It was still dead scrappy.

But that's what you get when you're entire obsession (and an obsession from the fan base) is always about 'hard work'.

Absolutely, work as hard as you can in every single minute, but you've got to have quality to go on top of that.

Sadly we have some players who offer neither. If you cant do one at least do the other.

 

[davek]

How are you tonight anyway mate, happy we went out or not, as you were one of the few that wanted us to go out

*shrugs*

 

[blue to the bone]

I am absolutely not entitled. You were calling out Ancelotti every week last year so pipe right down.

I dont believe the manager is the right man. He just embarrassed the club by losing to lower league opposition. This is his fault and its unacceptable.

Anyone who picks weakened sides in cups fundamentally misunderstands what thos club needs and craves. We need a trophy not to come 8th rather than 9th. Its short sighted rubbish from yet another manager.

We wouldn't win it regardless. As soon as we meet a better team we lose. Like United last season, Leicester the season before, City In the fa Cup. We aren't good enough.

Austin is always good for a goal or two. It may be an idea to not leave him unmarked in the 6 yard box.

Then again we did that with Kane last season too so...our players are just idiots.

Utter fantasy.

To be honest getting sacked is the least of his worries.

 

[windymiller]

He stated he was in a recent interview, so yes, he was.

Benitez has never once lied to the press to make it look like he is a hero and his employer is a villain. Not once, I won't have anyone say otherwise.

Strangely enough I saw him play at QPR for us and when the ref was booking him, our fans were shouting “off off off” ?

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Hang on, so if we lose its the players fault but if we win it's the "Rafatollah" who's responsible? Have I got that right?

Oh Windy you are never seen active on here when we win a game these days only when we lose.

You aint the only one in fairness
