This Rafa Benitez gameplan by Nuno Santo

Passes in the oppositions half Chelsea 217 v 33 Wolves. Wolves 0 shots on target and 0 attempts Rafa would get absolutely slaughtered for these stats Oh and 22% possession

Arsenal and Spurs both want him for next season according to the papers How much would he go for now?

Was that entertaining enough for the Rafa moaners?

Getting close to scoring 20 penalties in 2 seasons. Ridiculous

Aye can see their defensive midfield duo Gueye and Schneiderlin giving Perez and Almiron very little space today. Hoping Ki starts and we use the likes of Kenedy and Shelvey off the bench for the last 30/20 minutes to try swing the game in our favour late on

Well we’re cool with how he’s doing . You seem considerably more aggrieved about it than us. He’s done a great job. All you can do as a manager is put your team into the best position to win, then you just need things to break your way on the day. In the cups, at least. So how many years is Poch allowed to go without winning a trophy 10 years? 20 years? 30 years?

He should be among the Top 4 and be winning 2-4 trophies in the 6 years yet he hasn’t even won 1 in 6 years

Their Premier League starting lineup + bench cost what £350m-£400million? If you add their lineup and bench it must be among the Top 4 most expensive in the Premier League. And if you count how much Harry Kane is worth that takes their first 11 and bench value to over £600million

So how many years is Poch allowed to go without winning a trophy 10/11 years?

Rafa Benitez with 6 years at Spurs would win at least 2-4 trophies how many years can Poch get away with not winning a trophy 20/30 years? Didn’t he say the other day they’re another 10 years away from winning a trophy? He is taking the absolute p*ss

But I’m told by the media Eddie Howe is doing a miracle in the Premier League with a League 2 squad/spend though? How is Pochettino competing with a lineup that cost £270m-£300million? Another absolute “miracle” You seem like such a well balanced and reflected person in your posts, yet as soon as you get to the subject of Howe and to a degree Pochettino your posts descend into a potpourri of emojis and cheap twitter argument style comments. Why? Because that media darling Pochettino has gone 6 years without winning a trophy with a starting eleven that cost £270m-£300million How can a manager go 6 years without winning a trophy with a lineup that cost near £300million yet still get talked about as if he is some “MIRACLE WORKER”

Pochettino has a starting eleven that cost £270m-£300million one of the most expensive starting 11’s in the Premier League Against us I think it was £270million vs £40million about right they win most weeks and compete for Top 4 with a starting eleven that cost that much every week!

Apparently only 6-8 weeks if he doesn’t need surgery Seems a decision will be made based on what the specialist suggests.

Don’t think our defenders should be getting flak they’ve only conceded 1 open play goal in the last 4 games Totally unrealistic to expect 0 mistakes. Both Schar and Lejuene have been outstanding for us when you look at the bigger picture and how much they cost.

Lost via set pieces yet it was the “formations fault” “Should have played 4-4-1-1” even though we played that formation at home against them and got absolutely slaughtered in play 0 v 3 via IN PLAY GOALS Yesterday they couldn’t score any in play goals and we had our most amount of shots in an away game all season Only Man City and Chelsea had more attempts at goal than us this weekend. We just had a massive off day with our shooting 17 shots and no goals that was the issue.

Aye Noble could easily have been sent off for his tackle on Almiron at 0 v 0 in what was one of the most deliberate accepts to injure someone you will see it was a tackle from behind too Don’t suppose Skysports have been showing it on loop though as if it was Shelvey?

Is 17 shots our most amount of shots away all season? We must have had the most touches in the oppositions box in an away game that we’ve had all season too. Very strange game if we only we had our shooting boots on

Bamba has gone off injured on a stretcher too doesn’t look gone for them.

For me him and Van Dijk have been the best 2 centre backs this season.

Emery has gone with energy with it being the 3rd game in 7 days. That weaker lineup looks a gamble though.
