2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[LinekersLegs]

Great interview from him. Really wants to see improvement everywhere.

Really like that he praised the players for the turnaround rather than himself

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

he hasn’t won the doubters round yet after that performance. his signing are making an impact and the squad are playing as a team.

It was the snarl from the crowd that got the players going, No doubt in my about that.

I am starting to pity the Raf haters with pitchforks waiting at the ready.

Always next week lads.

Matty, these players have never suited 3 at the back mate. Last season under Carlo we were invariably terrible whenever we used that system. Our full backs aren't wing backs for starters, so our midfield always end up getting overrun and we don't get service to the front players. Plus we're usually all over the place defensively.

true mate - long as we win every game i’m fine

 

[Milkman]

He said he won the title twice with Valencia by only looking at the next game. When asked what is target for the season was, he said 13 points after next game.

I love his ambition but I'm pretty sure it's still only 3pts for a win.

every manager has an off and on day

i don’t like the man due to his connections

but
i’m starting to think he actually cares

 

[Deco]

That second half was brilliant, Rafael made the right changes and won us the points there.

No complaints from me so far, only question mark is how he utilises James - if he can somehow get his talent into the team we’ll win more points.

 

[Death]

don’t want to lose a single game mate

You're alright marry mate. Love you.

Deserves a lot of credit for having a plan B, something Ancelotti failed to have against these last season

 

[Pabbers]

Calm

Don't go down that road about managers caring. Carlos taught us not to fall for this again

At the start of last season…everyone praised carlo for his in-game changes, and how good we played.

how can our fans have such short memories ffs.

its 4 games ffs, and we have played nobody yet.

 

[maccavennie]

Sounds like he tweaked it a bit 2nd half and turned it around. Fair play if he did because it's resulted in another turnaround and 3 points.

 

[BluePeadar]

I wasnt sure about how his appointment would go down . But watching his passion and professionalism on the sideline and post match interview . Let alone his ability to make the change and impact the game. Very refreshing.
