2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[Efcjake]

So sad to see Evertonians just accepting a kopite manager who can't win a match and will likely have us battling to be 15th.

How far we have fallen.

I just don't understand a world where blues find that level of performance acceptable.

Where do you think the next win is coming from?

Do you think we will be on 20 points by Christmas?

Is that good enough for you?

No idea, far too hard to predict anything these days so not gonna bother. May not be good enough, but if we sacked him who on earth would we get in? Any half decent manager will look at the books and see the financial state of the club and back away off.

Conte joined Spurs for the sole reason that they have a LOT of cash to burn. We need to sell our best players to spend money or risk financial sanctions. It's sad but an indictment of the way the club has been run.

Fear of the unknown is not a good enough reason for me to stick with someone we can clearly see doesn't have a clue on how to get 3 points unless he has the entire squad available to pick from.

He's hardly done a good job so far, I don't think we would find many who would do worse.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

Utter nonsense.

We were fighting for Europe all last year and now all Benitez' fans want to make out like we have a relegation squad.

He's had 3 good players out with injuries and he doesn't have a clue on how to find the next 3 points.

He's utterly hopeless and getting sacked by Christmas.

LOL we were in rapid decline from late Autumn last year and playing thew worst football for about 4 years.
As for injuries, Both established forwards have been out DCL and Richie, Best defender Mina, best RB, Coleman, Best LB Digne, best midfielders Alan AND Docoure, most of these were for combined periods of time. Not to mention a couple of players with long covid.
I can guarantee you, if the above had stayed fit (or we had ANY sort of quality back up), we would be flying now. Obviously your hate agenda will never allow this to be admitted, but we all know it is true

Whether we like it or not mate he ain't getting sacked barring a relegation scrap. As long as he keeps us in the division until the stadium is built (working on a shoestring budget) I suspect Moshiri will be happy.

Is this how low are expectations as a fan base have sunk ?

Just existing, with no hope, no ambition, other than to avoid relegation until the new stadium is built.

Tragic.

Like when we were in 2nd at Christmas?

Behave.

I wouldn't be giving Benitez grief if we looked anything like doing that.

I guess Ancelotti didn't have to deal with any injuries last year did he? Benitez the first Everton manager to ever have an injured player. That's another reason we should sack him then.

I mean, you can say it all you like on the internet.

Fact is we didn't outplay any of the teams we did beat. Constantly having less of the ball, playing defensively and looking to counter.

There's no guarantees for what might have happened in a perfect world. All we can do is look at the stark reality of 1 win in 8 games and an early cup knock out.

It's exactly what we've done for the past 20 years.

When you appoint Benitez, give him 1.7m to spend and are facing the same financial restrictions that we currently are it's pretty clear what the boards expectations are.

You seem to enjoy the bad form, it would kill you if we did well.

Mate, when we get players back and spend a few quid, you're going to look a fool - imagine not seeing the squad and injuries and spend and then blaming the manager who had us doing OK beforehand.

AGENDA!!!!

We'll never know as we don't look like ever winning again right now under Benitez do we?

Not one of you will say when you expect us to win next.

Only ones looking like fools are the ones backing a failing manager to the hilt. The writing is on the wall, or bedsheet, your choice.

Why should we or they be expecting anything less than what we got from a near-identical squad last year?

The way Evertonians have just accepted this kopite as manager and that we seemingly deserve to be finishing at the bottom of the table astounds me.

I’m sorry mate, I’m going to have to disagree, as I haven’t spent the last twenty years of my life supporting Everton , with no expectations at the start of every season, other than avoiding relegation.

I find it incredibly sad this is how low we have sunk as a club, if this is all that’s left for fans like you.

WHen we do, you'll just slither off until the next tough fixtures with loads of injuries.

LOL, mate, we have had a fair few season in that time where relegation was not expected

You seem certain of this.

When are we winning again?

How long are we going to have to wait?
