2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[PhilM]

we would have lost this game if carlo is in charge. Leeds is full of energy and pace, but we were able to compete. The effort were there and it helped us with a point.

It's only early on, but our fitness levels look far improved which allows us to play at a greater intensity. We seem to some extent more disciplined.

People forget we started last season under Carlo The same way. Lots of chances, goals and great play but a few injuries, red cards and we were pretty woeful.

Desperately need a rb, rw and cm

But we beat them under Carlo?

He must be furious with himself for picking Keane...

I gave a benchmark of 14pts from the first 6 league games.

4 from 2 is a good start.

Needs 10pts from the next 4 to hit my target.

Carlo is a bad memory. Rafael is the present great hope who might set this club on the right path. So far so very good.

An awful lot of fans eating their hats right now. You were wrong lads.

Loan a cb and get rid of him or Holgate.

What happens if we "only" get 9 ?

@Zatara flees into self-imposed exile from GOT.

He'll know a lot more after these first few games, but signs are positive. You can't legislate for Keane's horror show or DCL not killing game off.

If we can offload James, Kean and bring couple in, he knows what he's got to work with.

And he'll definitely stamp out the brain-dead stuff. Digne booking went straight into notebook!

He chose to start the walking disaster.

….I‘ve been Keane’s biggest critic for many seasons, even when he was playing well but I’d always play him ahead of Holgate.
