2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[Zezti]

why he won the lottery?

He already did that on the 30th of June.

 

[RomanReigns]

almost reminded me of that millwall game where we just looked awful defending corners

branthwaite looked out of his depth

gbamin was rusty

keane was crap as per

we got away with one but at least alot of first team players got a bit of a rest

hope we bin 5 at the back, we struggle to control the midfield whenever we try it

he didn’t tho. i mean losing to a lower league team in a cup isn’t exactly a shock with us

 

[Rob17896]

I can understand wanting to completely rest Richy and Dom. But where was Gordon and couldn't we have had Dobbin on bench too.

We won I thought.

 

[fandjango]

We have played no one yet, no one.

I sort of agree though many people would cite Leeds as a difficult away game
But
In previous seasons we have often slipped up and folded either going behind like we did on Saturday or going to 10 men like we did tonight
Unlike last season where there was no resilience we seem to be made of sterner stuff
Cautiously optimistic

Branthwaite was fine!

Got subbed for tactical reasons. Other than Iwobi I thought the three who got subbed were out best players tonight (out of the starters anyway).

I was joking, long way to go yet.

 

[Barca Blue]

Done well tonight

I am. However I did notice Gomes is just as effective against lower league opposition as he is against the top teams in the PL. It is a relief to know that someone that good looking is at least crap at football.

God help if we beat Potterball this weekend they'll be marching down to Goodison with the bed sheets

Our kopite ultras. Whadyagonadu.

 

[Barnfred 55]

We won I thought.

That doesn't change the fact we had just one forward type player on the bench

 

[Toffe3m4n]

He'll have learned a bit more about the squad tonight I'm sure.

Thought he made the right changes at the right time to his credit.

 

[Gaffa]

Came on the pitch at full time and encouraged the fans to applaud individual players then took Iwobi to one side and pointed for us to applaud him
Very very good man management
