Cool, noted

You going to be singing the praises of Rafael with the Evertonians if we win next week?

Football wise remains to be seen, some good , some worrying. Looking at his immediate past some would say he's past it. His ego is already causing problems and keeping the wrong press in the papers.

The fact that he's a Liverpool doesn't sit comfortably with myself and many others that's a facht.

My main concern is how comfortable this job is for him. There's no new city, moving house etc. How motivated to make it work does he truly have to be some may wonder.

I think it’s far from comfortable, he’s under pressure from day one. And if he doesn’t show signs of moving this team forward he will be gone.

Yes I know we will put him under pressure , but will he care ? He's literally sacrificed nothing for the job. It's so comfortable.

A post so muddle headed and wrong about everything it's difficult to know where to start with it.

For one of the few times you're correct.
It's not Benitez's fault the mess he is in but he will take the consequences from the fans. My main gripe will be not having a certain player on the bench when he's obviously needed. And he isn't helping himself by not explaining why.

As I say footballing things are worthy of discussion and there are valid arguments to be made on both sides.

Anything to do with his previous employers should be left at the door, i couldn't care less that he managed them, I'm concentrated on his ability to manage our football club. People banging on about "ooh, he called us a small club" like children lost in a conversation stamping their feet and unable to grasp the full picture.

It's a fair point about his living in tge region however i personally think it would work in the opposite direction. I would think he would be more motivated to keep a massive job and massively well paid job in the area he calls home.

I know I have in my personal life, worked up and down the country and now back in Bristol where i call home and I don't think if things are tough at work I'll look elsewhere, this is where i want to be and I'll work extra hard to make it work. Of course I wouldn't like to suggest I know the inner workings of his mind but it's certainly a possibility. From what I've seen so far there's no signs of lack of motivation and he's been professional and dedicated to his task in keeping with the rest of his managerial career.

If you don't want Benitez here for footballing reasons then that is worthy of discussion.

If you don't want him here because he once managed the rs then quite frankly you're attitude is completely small time and it comes across like you are willing to sacrifice the greater good of the club to hold a petty grudge.

Sad to see really.

He doesn't have to.

He's the boss and James is nothing.

….I need a rum, this love-in from a few on here makes me feel uneasy.

I don't proof read posts and frankly couldn't care less if they contain autocorrect errors.

I think people correcting spelling and grammar on here says more about them than the poster really.

Says some have had an education, I agree.

Yeah he does if he wants to keep fans onside. Or it will go pear shaped.

More indicative of a small minded petty individual without an original thought in their head.

Face it, he ain't gonna shag you Nymzee

James is the highest paid player at the club. I think it's worth discussion when he can't make the bench.

I’m good for shagging thanks. We got shagged 3-0 yesterday.
