2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[ForeverBlue92]

yeah all we need to do is win our next two against teams above us and in far better form than us, and we’re TENTH. Only Chelsea away after that too, win that and we could be 9th! It’s as easy as that really, don’t know what all the fuss is about.

We aren’t winning any of our next 2.

Who knows football is a strange game.

He’s lost the changing room but gained the board room. It’s the worst possible combination.

He hasn't lost the dressing room.

The Liverpool we played last season isn't anywhere near the level they are this year - that game they had lost 5 on the bounce at Anfield in an empty ground.

We all know a full anfield and our bravehearts would have lost that game.

Maybe, maybe not. They were a mess at the back with all the injuries.

We weren't beating them at full strength. Draw, maybe. Win, no.

DCL, who recently said in an interview he was the best manager he has worked with.

Allan literally said a week ago that Rafael has improved him as a player. Gordon, Dobbin, Iwobi and others have said they are improving.

Townsend was also praising him, forgot about him

 

[Spadge Vernacular]

All this talk of player compliments, has any first team player ever come out and said that their current manager is hopeless/useless or the worst they have ever worked for? It would certainly make for an interesting interview and situation.

People were moaning when we beat Burnley and Southampton about poor halves and poor spells of the game, it was ridiculous.

In fairness now that the luck has run out and we are being punished for our tactics, the moaning was probably well founded.

 

[Whiteandblue]

I fight his corner because he gets unfair stick.

He's in a bad run at the moment and deserves criticism for our winless run - yet he was getting flack when we were winning games 3-1 and signing free transfers who shock horror aint CL quality.

If people were fair with their criticisms I wouldn't feel the need to fight any corner would I?

How many more games are you willing to give him? How far do we have to slide in the table?

Plus, don' t forget that we should have taken a point against the rs and three agains Brentford, which makes our position even better.
Simple stuff that, isn't it?

Spot on, they were all praising Carlo last season as if he were their favourite Uncle, they know where their bread is buttered as the saying goes.

 

[roy vernon]

It will be interesting to see how this plays out now. Benitez wants Kenwright gone, because, Kenwright wants Benitez gone. The two master manipulators going head to head in the never-ending Machivelian saga of Everton in the 2020's

Allan literally said a week ago that Rafael has improved him as a player. Gordon, Dobbin, Iwobi and others have said they are improving.

Yet, at the same time, someone in the dressing room / club is leaking stuff to the press about players being unhappy with his methods ?

 

[sd_1992]

Anyone who thinks this guy will be here in three more losses on the bounce is kidding themselves.

Villa improving after sacking their manager same as spurs and a few other clubs
