2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[Oasis1878]

What happened to the fat mess coming in and making us harder to beat??

 

[BlueLee]

Really have tried to accept him but enough is enough

 

[jamieni]

Get rid please. Had enough now.

 

[nsno-chris]

£1.7m and three injuries though

 

[Tubey]

When do you call stop. Weve won 1 in 10.

It's one win in 15 next season, and one win in 20 the next. Because that's the pattern of decline.

But whatever, the direction is settled now, the loons are running the asylum and they're not prepared to wait.

Enjoy what happens.

Newcastle fans today have said Howe is out of his depth and his methods are outdated.

Good, let him go back there them!

Howe is crap.

 

[ToffeeTim]

If you back this manager you are either deluded or not an Evertonian

 

[Howard's Beard]

The notion that this is just the level of this squad is ridiculous. However haphazard recruitment may have been over the past few years, this is a side with some talented players that's more than good enough to have a mid-table finish be the default. Benitez has set us up to have 20% possession in every game, even against newly-promoted opposition, without any defensive cohesion, any pressing, incoherent passing plays. This side is being poorly coached. The problems do not begin or end there, but it's willful blindness to pretend otherwise.

The problem is we have too many dead ducks in the squad regardless of your feelings towards the manager.

Look at that starting 11 tonight:

Coleman
Delph
Gomes
Holgate
Townsend
Godfrey

These aint top 7-10 quality players.

The reality is we're a mid table outfit with a handful of good yet at times anonymous players.

No quick fix regardless of what happens with Benitez imo. Finishing 10th + 12th with Ancelotti should have been a wake up call to how bad our recruitment has been over the years.

 

[MACCA75]

Anyone defending him just wants to see us relegated.

 

[nsno-chris]

Get out of this club kopite

 

[ossie_21]

I’m completely converted to Rafael out now.

That was absolutely horrid, somehow should have been 2-2 but 3-1 was probably light on us.

Will be somewhere from 15th-17th at Christmas and possibly 18th after Boxing Day. Unforgivable.

 

[kenada_blue]

Chelsea will murder us

 

[bebo86]

Get out, simply too toxic. For a start we need a less divisive manager, his tactics are also horrific
