2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[woodsyni]

Not sure how you can pull apart performances with our 3 best players missing.

Fair point though, even with them, we weren't great for a fair proportion of those games.

Should add that I am pleasantly surprised that it isn't the train wreck I thought it would be.

This doesnt bother me either. Win ugly every week. Not arsed tbh.
Still aint gonna like the manager.

Again, fair point.

When they are back, they offer much more threat on the counter and bench is much better. . There are options to change things, just like the Burnley game.

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.

Expected loss??

Completely agree but what do I know? I spent yonks yelling at the telly that DCL would never be good enough but now I can't wait to have him back. Even I question my own opinions ?

 

[nsno-chris]

Yep, there's always next week.

let’s see how big benny does against a team that won’t be striving to stay in the league

 

[Bluestar]

Best home start in the PL since 1989-1990.

 

[Death]

Expected loss??

It's a hope for result. It's certainly to a turbo standard not an expected one.

 

[tommytowne]

Beaten once in six by a team that's just taken three points off the mega millionaires from Old Trafford. I'll take that for now.

3 points are 3 points.

 

[Blueclouds]

Our squad is poor, we have no strikers but apparently we should only be happy when we beat Man u who is miles ahead of our team. I'm confused.

 

[woodsyni]

3 points are 3 points.

Absolutely! But I'd rather we played well for the full game and not suffer what we did at Villa.

Looks at the magnificent home support this season

I’m sorry, I don’t understand the link between Goodison being full and being empty on team performances. If anything, given that Goodison over the last few seasons has been a library in a lot of matches.
