2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[davek]

does it matter?

I think it does.

Iwobi back in the XI no doubt about it.

Sad times.

Maybe.

We need changes at the back with Mina coming back. I doubt Benitez will have the wastrel to choose though.

 

[kenada_blue]

yup we’ve say gone backwards spending millions, the club currently has no outlook

It's always been the wrong people for the job under Moshiri.

Warnings were there about allowing Koeman to spend and rebuild from previous club's.
Silva was completely out of his depth.
Carlo...the only saving grace in my book that was a fairy tale.
Now Rafael...a busted flush has been coach.

What team does he go with against Arsenal?

The wrong one obviously

 

[Kev The Rat]

I think it does.

I really don’t

We will lose whatever team he puts out there

The squad is mentally broken and Benitez can’t offer anything to alter that.

What team does he go with against Arsenal?

He'll go with exactly the same one.

And we'll lose.

Standard Rafael Procedure.

 

[adi dassler]

we are playing a lad who is patently unfit at centre back alongside another chap whose confidence is v low. Mina will make all the difference to that defence. We all know this, just as we know how DCL alters our attack. We've also only just welcomed back Gray and Doug.

Gray missed one game you absolute crab

That's the spirit.

 

[Kev The Rat]

That's the spirit.

Benitez has crushed any hope or spirit we may have had this season

What team does he go with against Arsenal?

No announcement this morning probably means no decision last night. I think Arsenal will be the game the guillotine falls but you were right that he’ll get that one: a firing is inevitable now though, the pressure is too great, the fans want blood.

What team does he go with against Arsenal?

Is Rondon out?

If so I'd probably have Richarlison as the striker and give Gordon a start

Not perfect but it's round pegs in square holes until DCL comes back

Who knew a "pudding" would be so important to the way we play eh?

 

[Connor]

Have to be an absolute idiot to think our midfield 2 was going to work against their 3

Hasn’t worked for weeks

Why didn’t he bring Delph on at the break to shore it up a bit while we were still in the game? Just baffling

We don’t want blood: we want to be good again. Tired of people writing posts that make out like we just love seeing managers get sacked.

towards the end. plus he wasn’t a kopite

Rafael is a gone mark my words

There there.

Any acceptable result against Arsenal sees him going into the Palace game and we take it from there.

There's a route back.
