2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

He's safe as houses - Doucoure and DCL are back in the next 2-3 weeks and we'll start picking up points again.

I fancy at least a point against Brentford should Mina be back as Toney will bully Keane/Godfrey.

 

[Parker]

Just another point.

Anyone want to tell me that we have a worse team than Leeds?

They're having a go at Spurs here, that's what having a manager who isn't a coward does to a team. It elevates them to be more than the sum of their parts.

Some are hoping it will be 1 in 10 soon. Their delight pops out of the screen.

The only ones delighting in it are the ones happy to watch Benitez do this to our club.

Crap blues the lot of them.

 

[Dixieslaces]

Calvert lewin and doucoure.
We are basically collapsing with two players missing.
Lets not make the rest of them something they're not.

Exactly This.

I’m sure todays result doesn’t count for some people; these “real Evertonians” had already had us down for a beating today and then come and defend it

I’ve never known the club to be this low, ere actual fans are defending defeats.

It’s disgusting

 

[ForeverBlue92]

It doesn't make you a bad fan at all. Far from it.

I would say it does make you a poor grasper of human emotions.

I don't think grasper is a word.

Your backing of the manager and the hope you have for him is commendable. It's also not really based in any form of reality as he is screwed regardless. Anybody could see this coming.

But you have to take the emotion out of it otherwise we aint ever moving forward.

If the solution to our problems is just sacking manager after manager and keeping the same squad of mish mash players signed by multiple managers then we'll be forever in a loop cycle of boom bust until we eventually go down.

We have to stop and give a manager at least 2 seasons to try stop the rot and nows the time when our finances mean we simply can not back a new manager adequately enough.

 

[Theoneandonly]

Keep saying 11th as if it is an achievement and ignoring the fact we are 6 points off the relegation zone 12 matches into the season.

So what you're saying is we still have 26 matches left. Oh yeah.

Last year's finish says yes.

 

[BlueStevie35]

Some Icelandic feller axed
Back up midfielders in Davies and Gomes injured.
Coleman passed it.
Holgate suspended.

Should really play Simms, Dobbin and Onyango and hope fellow bloos don't leather them

Would that really be a bad thing though? Simms would have been a better option than bringing on Iwobi when Gray went off and Onyango showed more fitness levels in 90 seconds than Rondon did in 15 mins

I’m imagining it’s us given the kit they’re wearing

And this is where we are!

Happy for a point at Brentford!

I despair.

 

[ToffeeTim]

The injury point is a nonsense as well.

As if we will get no further injuries after Christmas when players come back.

What happens when we get another injury? Do we just give up again and accept another shambolic run of 1 win in 9 or 10? Do we just accept losses anytime we arent at full strength?

Get a grip people. Stop making excuses for this club. Thats what they want us to do. They don't deserve any benefit of the doubt because they have shown themselves to be incompetent in all areas.

 

[kenada_blue]

He does that and we get spanked, bloos will say Benitez needs to go anyway. Probably won't have a choice soon

Park End Da's will break them too

To be fair this is how beilsa’s teams play. And he’s also had what 3.5 years to get them to play like this.

Our board has picked a manager that doesn’t really play this style.
