2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[allen]

Good to see no knee-jerk posts in here during the sticky parts of that match.

That’s a sign he’s winning us all round.

 

[YorkieG]

Chuffed to see him make such a strong start with yous. How I wish we had a manager that was tactically astute and likeable too.

Good for you lot, hope you have a good season.

 

[aazak]

Almost like he might know what he's doing

 

[Axlswhk]

Anyone not convince yet?

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Make me dreeeeam Rafie

 

[Tubey]

Tactical genius tonight.

We got the fluke equaliser against the run of play but cemented it with that change. A weaker manager would have sat the sub back down when the equaliser went in.

 

[Frenk]

Is it attacking Dave?

 

[Fansince1988]

I know it’s early days be already he seems to be able to do what moyes did here, fix thing tactically quick when things aren’t going well, even Ancelotti was useless at that when he was here, Koeman,Silva no Martinez were also aw full at it, big same just defended with 10 defenders so he sort of did it

 

[Thomasc]

If he can get more out of the players then no complaints at all.

However, let’s not be completely fickle, it took a Burnley goal to wake them up and that first half was as bad as anything we saw under Ancelotti.

I’m completely neutral now after being very against his appointment, but he’s made a very good start.

playing with him

 

[Kev50]

Spot on Dave. I actually called that at half time, shame he didn't make the change earlier.

Why managers insist on fiddling about with 3 at the back I have no idea.

if only he had listened to you earlier we could be top of the league now.

 

[MrD]

Too Soon?

 

[Frenk]

Just looking for him to get the team right from the off, it would be great if he could. But, despite my dislike of him, he is doing a good job so far.

 

[MikeH72]

Maybe if the coffee blowing one had reacted as decisively against them last season we wouldn’t have been comfortably beaten.

Well done boss
