Homepage Article Rafael Benitez Appointed Everton Manager

[rams1984]

He was defensive against everybody, not just against quality opposition. He's a defensive coach, at least latterly, some people are OK with that, not for me thanks.

Being a Championship side almost all teams were better than fairly equal to Newcastle. So..no other option. But he defeated ManU & ManC with that squad.

Ok. I'm still not getting it. Are you asking me if I think he's owed ridicule? As if so it was sort of covered in the response, wasn't it?

He's not owed support but he is not owed ridicule either..... By the same rationale.

He deserves the same treatment any new manager would get.

You replied:-
"Yes he is. And I think that's what people will give him."

If you were replying to "deserves the same treatment any new manager would get"..... The response would be "yes he does"

Which makes me think you were replying to the former statement

 

[HumbleWedbetters]

Pleased to help.

You actually didn't because that reply is not in the correct tense to the question you associate it to.

There's a certain logic about that. People expected the top manager to overachieve. No one in his right mind (except Benitez personal fan from India who has joined recently) think FSW is a top manager, so expectations are low.

What? Benitez ain't a top manager? Some Geordie fella told me he was ace.

So, Mr Benitez, how are you finding managing a teeny tiny club?

FFS let it go. Maybe he will start whinging about fat Spanish Waiter shouts and bedsheets outside his house.

no wonder you have a man crush on him. He sounds GREAT!!!

Can't remember the guys name, chap from the BBC who was pressing Ancelotti as to why he'd bother joining Everton, kept at it.

McGowan his name maybe?

He'll be chomping at the bit for this. Would actually prefer if Benitez just said "Because I don't have to move house" if asked.

Lol, at least that would be funny and confirm how much of a parody club we have become!

"Yes he is" (deserving the whatever you were on about.)

Pleased to help with tense.

Pop me on ignore, big lad. It'll be better for all of us in the long run.

Nope. Not helped but thanks for confirming something else

Here's an idea..... Pop the thread on ignore??? Maybe it will help you not to get so angry - or do you like talking about subjects you don't like? ...... There's a David Moyes thread knocking about where we can celebrate 10 years of nowt under a manager who got shed loads of leniency for wait for it ........"the people's club"

Proper hairs on the back of the neck stuff.

His 1st press conference is Wednesday at 1:30pm

Key things from his presser:
-James picked up a calf strain against Accrington, nothing serious
-Benitez is happy with the squad, everybody will get a chance to impress. We will add to the squad if things happen in the transfer market
-Expect Kean, Richarlison, DCL and James to stay
-New 3 year contract for Sigurdsson almost done

LOL

Ah ok mate, sorry that was unclear reading back. For clarity it was actually the 2nd part I was agreeing with, he deserves the same "crack of the whip" any other manager might reasonably expect. I think for the most part that's what he will be given, and is being given.

 

[The binman chronicles]

Am I even remotely arsed?

Nope.

Hope he crashes and burns before July is done

Anyone else imagining Tommye holding an import piece of the wiring loom of an airbus while manically laughing when reading this post?

No worries - cheers.
