2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[Blues Harp]

Think the team spirit was encapsulated when Baines was dragged to his feet in the first half and his team mates protested....Allan and Doucs especially.....we are not there now to be pushed around like on previous occasions. Great stuff

Ah....old age catching up with me.... Of course it was Digne not Baines. DOH!!

Thanks mate, it's good to have optimism and we salute your belief. If we are being honest though, we were terrible against Burnley albeit for 10 minutes, same against QPR, struggled to beat Huddersfield, got tonked by Villa etc so forgive me for not yet subscribing to your unwavering belief.

If he can keep the results coming in all blues would give him a pat on the back come the end of the season. At that point though progress has to be a European places finis.

I always believe....
You are right in that it has to be Europe but he needs a chance to build. With what he has I can't complain give me a dull win over defeat anytime

Sick of Benitez making me look like a clown after slagging him off all summer lol

Fair play though, still early days, but to get a point away at OT with our injuries is pretty impressive

Well done ChesterBlue.

why does progress from where we finished last season have to be a european place surely evene one place better than last season is progress?

I didn’t want Everton to appoint Benitez as manager, I didn’t want a washed up has been managing our bunch of lack lustre wasters. I didn’t see any benefit in bringing in Gray and Townsend. That tells you all you need to know about my knowledge of football.
I still don’t think we have become a top 4 side, but we have become a side who try to win matches, a side who want to dig in and help each other. Given the squad we have we are doing very well at the moment, long may it continue.
On another note, how well is Baningime doing at Hearts, young player taking the chance he has been given.

Happy to admit i was very wrong about the guy

10 mad mins vs Villa aside we've largely been good

We were fighting for a CL place with only a few weeks to go. The collapse under Ancelotti was unacceptable and may well have been because of either his matey approach or head being turned. I've said since he came that I think Benitez can get this squad into Europe and I still think he can. It's up to him to deliver now.

Gratifying to see the Everton family coming together after being in turmoil for a spell.

Still early days but Benitez seems to be making us more of a hard working team, Villa and QPR are black marks obviously but I think we can all be satisfied with the first two months of the season. Get the injured back after the international break then come charging out against West Ham and Watford at a bouncing GP

 

[UptheTofees]

He’s done well so far

can’t deny it

 

[Runub]

Maybe said earlier but the Team are displaying impressive fitness levels this season and fighting to the last second. Rondon the exception of course but maybe he will get there.....eventually
