2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[Kev The Rat]

You get funnier every week.

It’s a shame you don’t

 

[Lob]

Joint top with City, Manure, RS and Chelski and still not good enough for some people. In others words it never will be.

Doing a very good job overall with such limited resources and very damaging injuries.

 

[Axlswhk]

Ugly win but I’ll take that.

 

[davek]

Listen I’ve said many times I didn’t want benetiz here but at least he is getting a bit of tune out of a poor squad, that’s had no investment in it. Something Carlo couldn’t do in the last 6 months. It’s early days but at least give the bloke a bit of credit for our start.

Fat chance mate. The FC Everton lot will be around when the dust settles saying he needs sacking because it's not 18 points out of 18 and the sun was hit and miss today.

 

[ilikecheese]

We need a yawn reaction gif for plums like this mods

? ? ?

 

[Saint Domingo]

Ha ha what an incredible win over the powerhouse Norwich City

Winning any premier league game is difficult when your best players are missing and we’ve got no options on the bench.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Works hard and has more passion than Carlo the bank robber.

 

[Sharpattack]

Awful game to watch

 

[Drico]

Let's see how we tackle the top teams though as we were brilliant in that respect last season.

I agree. I can't see our results against the top sides being anything like last season's, but we can compensate hugely if we can continue to put away our so-called inferiors at home as we failed abysmally and fatally to do that last term. All things considered, our new manager has made a competent start. We're well on the way to a top 10 position. I'd like more, but after a net spend of 1.7m this summer, I am realistic. And that will ensure he gets to stay longer than one term and can spend a few quid to really overhaul this risible squad.

 

[davek]

And we were missing half the squad for that one. Also like that our wingers are contributing to the majority of the goals- Doucore snatching some as well. Good sign

Imagine us if we have our injured back!

 

[Death]

The real test will be next week

We are losing that game big league.

This is the piece de resistance. They're going to rationalise why we should beat Ronaldos United at OT with no strikers. This is the one. The shouts have been off the hook. But this is going to brilliant.

This is going to be an hilarious week.

Let's see how we tackle the top teams though as we were brilliant in that respect last season.

Supposedly we can’t do that because Benitez has only had £1.7m to spend.

Forfeit them.

If comfortably top 10 with this squad carrying a load of injuries and spending virtually nothing is where we end up then that’s a far better return than previous managers who spent 10s of millions to have us in relegation scraps and the bottom half

 

[MikeH72]

You carry on yawning at the fans who dragged us to victory again then

Kev stop fretting everything is going to be ok, only a week to wait til we get beat again.
