2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[Kev The Rat]

I'd try and explain Kev, but I fear you may be a lost cause.

I don’t want to hear your attempted rationalisation so I’m glad your not bothering

 

[Efcjake]

yes, a lot of people in here are determined to never accept him Their loss. It's important to remember though that the percentages of support on this website do not reflect in any way the match going supporter, all of whom left Goodison Park in buoyant mood on Monday.

After booing the team off of the pitch at half time.....

...wasn't that Mike Dean and VAR getting the boos?

The same way the board can think all the applause on 27 mins was for them.....

Fairly sure it was because we were putting in another crap performance until Gray produced some magic to save Benitez' bacon.

I think it was to be fair.
However it could have been because the 1st half performance wasn't that great.
In fact , for me , we only played well in the last 30 minutes.

Luftraffa really is a superb effort Rafaelites deserves a bit of praise but Luftraffa is brilliant, It totally deserves a lifetime supply of Jaffa Cakes or is it Raffa cakes !!!!

I'll send you my address

I doubt very much they think that.

That's not true though is it?

It is.

We had about 30% possession again and people were slating Richarlison throughout the match thread because we didn't look like creating anything. We narrowly escaped going 2-0 down a few times and only got back into the match because Lego Head decided to tell his players to sit deep and protect the 1-0 at 70 minutes.

I feel that the team played well the whole game. Second half better than the first but overall it was a good performance. Arsenal had 2 touches in the penalty box in the first half. 1 of it resulted in a goal.

That was probably 2 more touches than we had in their box that first half.

Come on mate. Yiu cant be critical of the other night.

You might get the chance to be justifiably critical after we play Palace. You never know your luck.

Amazing Kev on Kev action going on in here.

Does the Benitez effect know no bounds?
