2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[Pabbers]

Why is he being so strange with naming players !?!?

 

[mightymoyes]

why is he making up his own coronavirus rules? does he think hes in govt?

 

[NathDogg]

They really are. Not sure I'm going to be able to watch many more of these. I'll just read the summaries afterwards.

I can't be doing with his riddle talk and obtuseness - just such hard work, but the journos don't help and are bloody useless as well.

Defo swerving them from now on - I'll catch up on what he doesn't say on here.

It was absolutely painful listening to him

I’d forgotten that he talks in riddles. His interviews are painful.

So Rafael, you’ve had number of players isolating the past couple of weeks, any updates on when they will be back in the squad?

“I’m tall when I’m young, and I’m short when I’m old. What am I?”

Can you just answer the question please?

“What has two eyes but can’t see?”

I love the fact he is making the majority lose the plot by giving nonsense answers to nonsense questions. We will see the team like everybody else at two o clock tomorrow.

On Bielsa they wanted him to say how marvellous he was, nothing from Benitez suggested he agreed with them.

To not give away whos available for him, Im assuming. Its annoying as supporters, but it might give the opposition a surprise come kickoff which would be beneficial. Im still against the appointment, but see nothing wrong with what hes doing. Like Ive said before, mind games are a part of any sport, football included.

Yeah, but history shows he is terrible at mind games, Facht!

He 'd be better served not making up obvious horsedung about our own players.

As if Leeds are going to change the way we play based on what wasters are in our starting line up. They don’t tweak their system for anyone, certainly not Everton.

Why's everyone getting so worked up over an absolute nothing press conference?

Good post, if we win tomorrow absolutely nobody will be interested in what he didn’t say today. He

 

[peteblue]

So weird he just doesn’t say who’s available

What could he say about Siggy ? or about James ? without setting the press off and generating headlines…..he’s right, say nothing then wait and see where we are at the end of the month….

 

[jinkyali]

He's obviously very secretive on selection.
No training content is posted these days either.

Because some of our support would like Bulbous Benny to have at least one redeeming feature that they could latch onto.

But the Facht! he goes out every week and just makes up such utter Dobbindoings leaves fans who want to know what is going on, really irritated.

 

[Furey1878]

I'm so confused...

Asked about Gbamin being available again he said 'it's still difficult because of isolation'

Is he not aware that the club put out videos from training? Gbamin has been pictured training with the rest of them....

Have to say - he's being needlessly awkward about the situation.

Maybe he meant after a long period isolating, he might not have had enough training sessions to confidently say he was up to speed with the lads who will be starting?
