2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[LeeCarsley]

The cheek to call us a small team when he has come here and turned out worse football than Gravy Sam and Moyes EVER turned out. Get him out of my football club.

Phew, disgusting human being

 

[sageyefc]

You saw against arsenal 2nd half when the players gave up on Jaffas tactics and played for themselves and the crowd how much better we looked

He didn't get the whole season did he.

Got them up at the first time of asking too, and finished 10th.
What's the best Carlo did?

“Rafael’s got a history of falling out with players who don’t tow the line,” Murphy added.

“Xabi Alonso, Fernando Torres, John Terry, at Real Madrid you had Ramos, Ronaldo and Alonso being the obvious one at Liverpool.

“What he’s done with Digne, he’s cut his nose off to spite his face. Maybe he’s not playing because he’s questioned him.”

Pathetic really this, he needs to just be jibbed, Richarlison will be next to be dropped or "not available".

Hes a show, a poor man manager who can't deal with people questioning his egotistical ways. Dinosaur in football.

'Rafael, what is best in life?'

'To crush your enemies, see them driven to League Two, and to hear lamentations of the Gwladys.'

17/18 - Newcastle 18th after 18 games, finished 10th.

18/19 - No wins in first 10 games. 18th at game 22, finished 13th.

Lies damned lies and statistics. In 17/18 they lost 4 of their last 5 games so maybe your idea of finishing strong is a bit different to mine.

Every manager has fallen out with players.

Jeezus

Imagine putting this on your CV and assuming it is some sort of achievement. It only shows he's not even good at being mediocre.

 

[ranxerox]

Every manager has fallen out with players.

By early December of their first year?

 

[Mosh Pit]

Every manager has fallen out with players.

Yeah but he's like the Cristiano Ronaldo of falling out with players.

 

[DanEFC92]

Yeah but he's like the Cristiano Ronaldo of falling out with players.

He sexually assaults them?

Allegedly.

 

[MrD]

Yeah but he's like the Cristiano Ronaldo of falling out with players.

Ironically, Rafael actually fell out with Ronaldo while at Madrid

 

[Eggs]

Every manager has fallen out with players.

…as Carragher says, ‘he seeks confrontation, he thrives on confrontation’.

He doesn’t fall out with players, he picks conflict with players. There’s a difference here. He wants everybody to be subservient, he’ll be looking for the next one to fall out with.

I think he lost me at Palace you know, to have went all that way to see us set up like we were playing City away and to take off Richarlison when we were chasing the game is unforgivable. We started with 3 in midfield but then soon reverted to his 4-4-1-1 with Gomes of all players being pushed up with the striker?

I'm really torn between thinking should we just limp until the end of the season and part ways or do we pull the trigger now? The former will almost certainly make this the least enjoyable season of the last 10 years and the latter will really harm us financially and put the new manager in a very tough position.

It's a truly terrible state of affairs.
