Homepage Article Rafael Benitez Appointed Everton Manager

[dublinbluenose]

Then why are Fat Benny's biggest cheerleaders on here desperately trying to damp down expectation of a top half finish?

Preemptive strike against the coming vaulting and forum civil war.

I know they didn't play much, but we have lost three squad players, Bernard, King and don't even think it's worth mentioning Walcott ! Saying that we've gained Kean if he stays

Yes we have. Not they really offered very little in terms of the 1st team.

First salvo fired from the PurpleShirts.

This season is going to be excruciating.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

In Allan’s interview it says Benitez has instructed the midfield to take 1 or 2 touches and to “always look to play forward”.

He might win me over yet this fella.

I'd take just the 'always play forward' part like, no matter how many touches they end up taking.

 

[Dan79]

OK mate. So, to be clear, quick hypothetical. Everton win the league, Benitez is manager - how do you feel about that.

Delighted we'd won, pleased for the players and happy my kids could win us something!

What was so interesting?

The absence of the name 'Galloot'.

There seems to be alot of excuses for the best manager weve had in 8 years.

No, the best manager by all reckoning was the last one.

Why would we expect a washed up past it won nothing failure with no transfer budget to surpass Carlo the Magnificent?

Well, the Spanish 'tactical mastermind' has Gbamin, Kean + 3 new signings...while only losing one rarely seen squad player.

Probably £50mil worth of talent there.

Ancelotti had Kean as well, he just didn’t play him.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Everton, bring in Carlo Ancelotti. In his full season, brings in James Rodriguez. Doucoure. Allan. Football that make your eyes bleed and finish 10th. Worse than Marco Silva's 8th. Everton, that.

Maybe our expectations being so low, and Everton being Everton will see us very surprised. Benitez, bringing in Townsend and Gray will outdo Carlo 'Magnifico'. Everton, that.

 

[Brownie]

I'm increasingly confident that with Benitez's steady hand at the wheel, we are going to be very, very bad this season.
