2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[FrenchDarrenBent]

Where did i judge?

I merely called them for what they are. That is not a judgement.

the word sycophant contains a judgement.

Rafael should take no blame for that today. The positions in need of filling were not filled and that's the exact reason why things like that happen

 

[FrenchDarrenBent]

Would you have Sam 'the best manager since Moyes' Allardyce back?

Koeman will be available soon & Stevie Bruce will might have some time on his hands

 

[Papa Shango]

HAS HE GONE YET?

(We were fine for about 60 mins by the way, then just fell apart after a crap bit of defending).

Did a job, effectively, at the time we needed him to. That time is not now.

Not going to go crazy could argue the subs by not putting simms on to atleast give us a natural cf uptop. But agree we move on to the next game to see a reqction

Main thing is we need to beat QPR this week, it's all about Tuesday now, nice full strength squad please Raffy

The manager should always take some blame regardless of who it is. That's his job.

That's all it needs to be though, it happens, move on to the next game.

More an observation of certain behaviour patterns.

I bet Marcel Brands is over the moon that some of the hatred towards Benitez deflects from the sht job he's done for us

He doesn't get any.blame mate, we know the situation with injuries

It's only 3 days away, I cant see there being much change in the squad from today.

 

[PaddyJames]

Gray scores and we close that game out. Instead, Digne's gone asleep then we've fallen apart. All the managers fault though.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Neither pragmatist or genius, who knew! Too many it seems.

Bit of a jump for SImms like, yeah I get it he's the strike thats available but he's also not done anything major to suggest he'll step up.

Think it's a bit of a meh point anywtay. Always going to be tricky with the players available and Rondon being knackered after 60. Ultimately we're still playing a CB at right back, Michael Keane and Lucas Digne just had a shocker. Combine all three of them we're going to have issues.
