2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[Sagar]

Hate to say that, but this current squad is worse then what I saw at Newcastle the season they last got relegated , Rafael was exceptional for the 10-11 matches he was incharge there , atleast players were trying hard, and could make the best of tactics that Rafael put in. Made players like sissoko, wijnaldum, Perez, Richie , lacellas , tiote look like world beaters, this current squad looks far worse then that , and what's more shocking is this squad is one of costliest in pl.

Sadly mate he doesn't read GOT to keep the fans informed.

Doesn’t read GoT!
Well he should be ashamed of himself

Had we won yesterday it would have been the best start since the PL started. If the squad was as bad as you think it is we wouldn’t have been in that situation.

I want Everton to win, but i also want Benitez gone. I apologise to no one for my position.

But you were celebrating a defeat gleefully with loads of smug smiling emojis?

I admire your stance but realistically you are only wasting your own energy as he's not going anywhere for the foreseeable.

Weren't they outside the relegation zone when he took over?

 

[BlueToff]

I think we were near the bottom of all those stats last season too.

Probably, or at least in the second half of the season

 

[BlueToff]

Do we have the players to play any other way?

I agree we should have more than one way of playing, but I feel many of our squad struggle with just the one

I think Rafael also knows this so is using this style till the next transfer window opens and we can hopefully improve the squad

What's the saying, you can't polish a turd?

So our players are incapable of stringing together more 10+ moves (and 10 passes isn't a huge number really) than Norwich, Newcastle, Watford etc?

I think we should have enough to us mate.

 

[Thomasc]

Really fear that if we don’t beat Watford that we will start to plummet down the table, and if the rumours about DCL and Doucoure are true then we are going to do well to pick up many points before January.

It’s all starting to feel very “Everton”.

All season I think.

1 win in 5 will soon become 1 in 10 if he's not careful.

It’s not his fault - it’s everyone else’s.

It's his fault that iwobi and Rondon started yesterday with Rondon getting 90 mins ?.

 

[Thomasc]

It’s not his fault - it’s everyone else’s.

Think it might have something to do with the squad he inherited personally and the long term injuries to both strikers.

Like I said, everyone else’s fault.
