Rafa Benítez (now unemployed)


Recommended Posts

 

Are you trying to tell me that even with 18m to spend there wasn't better options for 3..players than Manquillo,Joselu and Merino

 

We had Mbemba and Hanley as cb cover neither are any worse than Lejeune,,,,so there is 7m wasted

 

We had Darryl Murphy who is no worse than Joselu,,,,theres 5m wasted

 

you don't go and blow your budget on bodies just for the sake of filling a hole

 

You use commas for ellipses, think Lejeune cost 7mil and spell Daryl with a double R. Do you have a Sunderland post code?

 

How much did Lejeune cost then?. No I don't have a Sunderland postcode heaven forbid anyone that even challenges or questions anything that happens with our club is branded a Mackem by some kid who cant see through the black and white glasses

 

Looka the bigger picture here love Rafa all you like, praise him all you like the cold hard truth is hes taking us down and will be deemed a failure when he does so

 

You telling people to look at the bigger picture?

 

Have a word with yourself you fucking clown.

Love Rafa me  :smitten:

 

Just have a nap, and regroup, man.

 

Need more than that, need time out.

 

Sorry for calling you a knob man, easily one of the posters I respect most on here.

 

Just thought we would show more today and needed to as well.

 

Unless we can get some really top players in in Jan I fear it’s all too late even with a takeover.

 

Pissed off with Rafa, but it is what it is and we go again with Stoke up next.

He won't be here though. The thing you fail to realise, is if a none existent budget is repeated in January by Ashley and he's left rummaging round for more Manqs and Joselus, then he's offski. He wants these shit players as much as you.

What's your point, there's some legitimately world class buys in there :lol:

 

Aye, not every player he signs is going to be great. If that's you point then I suppose well done?

The only player which I think was a shambolic signing was Manquillo as the mackems i know all said he was absolute bobbins.  Understand the other signings.

You an avid watcher of Liverpool in 2004-2010, like? In which they won a CL, got to another final, another semi final, won the FA Cup, challenged for the PL title in a season in which they went 38 games with only 2 defeats?

 

His Napoli signings are the main reason why they are where they are in Serie A.

I guess the point would be look at his win % with Liverpool.

 

Hard to understand why he's not more hated by Liverpool fans with that transfer record. The Scousers must be thick cunts, unlike the bright sparks who post here.

I hated his game plan today, felt the team selection was probably the right players - did not expect to see nearly every single player in attack trip over their own feet, fail to control passes, make passes, make tackles, make runs into space, shoot when they should have passed, crossed when they should have dribbled etc.

 

I'm just praying signings will fix this squad, we're not going to do much better with the current crop.
