2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[BornBlue76]

sees himself as a toffee.

You know what they say… once touched by the blues… counseling required for the rest of your life.

Im not judging him on the Derby tbh mate we could have Guardiola as manager and our record would still be poor in it.

What I would give for a Sunderland type 6 in a row derby win streak against them - the away win last season was good but did feel tainted without fans there / being able to celebrate it with mates in town.

A follow up win this season even at Goodison would be boss especially as it would give them a bloody nose after going so long without any real derby humiliation.

Just get Joe Royle in for the derby games.....and do you know what?I'm being serious lol

Love the way the majority of us on here refuse to reference him as "Rafael"no disrespectful nicknames so far!!!I refer to him as "Beni Tez" lol

 

[nsno-chris]

The kopite wools calling him benny and rafatollah, disgusting behaviour

Gotta laugh at wools attacking our scouse Benjamin.

Hes been given a terrible hand to play here at this club.

That's 2 first teamers down he'd have hoped to have had to call on. It's a good job the club pushed the boat out and spent £1.8M this summer.

Need all hands on deck especially now with deficiencies at RB. But some will prefer to disregard that to have James standing about spraying a few through passes.

Lets not think he didn't already know this when he was in talks with the club and signed his contract, or he wouldn't be getting on the blower immediately to players like Townsend and Rondon if he knew he had money to spend.
He knew what he was walking into so no excuses can be made for him.

I would spell that 'counselling'...it's a US vs British Commonwealth 'nuance'...and I would 100% trust the latter over the former

I have come up with a nick-name for the new manager: it's anagrammatically derived and it's 'Fantail Breeze'. Yes, I appreciate most on here will shout "IRONY!", (given the hurricane of emotion his appointment's evoked), ...but it is what it is.

Must give an applause to the Red Echo - thought they would have done all they could to undermine the manager since he joined but have been very good in singing his praises to woo the fanbase into accepting him early doors.

??Why would the Red Echo not support a Kopite hero?

He didn't know he'd have a 1st team player binned off in the way that one has been. That was completely unforeseen.
