[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Works both ways that mate - I seem to remember quite a few of the loudest anti Benitez posters on here chasing GwladysBlue off the site for his none stop moaning about Carlo............

I think he was banned mate. You calling out the mods?

Wowzers, come on @Terrarian and @Death kiss and make up.

Benbo the conqueror and Everton ain't worth the stress lads.

I have stopped and apologised, trying my best to be civil now, not doing so good, I should probably stay away from heated debate.

 

[PaddyJames]

Nothing wrong with debates.

Look after yourself bud - Everton ain't worth it.

For the Benitez bandits - We can still support Everton and not be lodged up Benitezs hoop with you, ok?

You shouldn't apologise. Your point was valid.

The performances haven't been great. But we've been knocking off the teams at the bottom so it doesn't really matter for now.
We will need a big step up in performance if we are going to get anything out of a top half team.

I disagree, we were better at Leeds than West Ham IMO. Yet we missed our chances. Comfortably beat Brighton. And for 65 mins at villa with 4 of our first team out including, potentially our 2 most important players. We were in the game.


Yes some of the home performances have not been fantastic. And worryingly we’ve had less possession in the games v Burnley & Norwich, but I think that’s how it would be under most managers. Unless we get Martinez back and play it along the back line for for 30mins to the get the possession stats up.

But at least we have a manger who knows how to win these games. And we kept getting told wait till Ancelotti has his own players, well surely Rafael deserves the same

if you are feeling a bit under, I really would give not just this place but the internet a swerve for a couple of weeks. It actively contributes to poor mental health,it's not neutral.

I've got diabetes too.

Oh, hang on, need to put my glasses on.

I did take a two week break lol, I don't use any other social media, too fragile it sucks.

So far so good under him but couldn't get worse than Carlo's last 6 months.

I think it's fair to give him wiggle room when you consider the squad he has inherited

He's managed to beat the "weaker" teams he's played thus far, even if some of the performances were a little bit shaky at points

If he can keep that up then we'll probably finish top half when all is said and done, which when you look at how generally "meh" this squad is outside of the starting 11 would probably be "job done"

Hopefully we could then actually let him have some money so he could try and kick us on

Controversial opinion time - I suspect that Raffy the Gentleman thug's hoop is quite warm. Given gas prices this winter it may not be the worst place to hide out.

Yes, I like mass debating too.

I won't fit with all those currently residing up there unfortunately mate.

Could have used to turn the heating off a bit this winter as well.
