Rafa Benítez (now unemployed)


Recommended Posts

He seems happy enough with it tbf.

 

He's doing his best impression of Yao.

 

1p would actually have been a handy budget over his time in charge. As it is I think we have made a decent profit on player sales which equates to about -£30m in net spend. He could have put £30m to good use I reckon.

Currently throwing the FA Cup game.  Lifting.

 

I remember when Pardew was hounded for throwing away cup games. Rafa has been worse for it, out almost every single first round. Pathetic. No ambition from him.

The way we were so deep today man. I think his time here's broke him. He's stuck in that way now.

 

Yeap, was zero need for that.

:lol: We came out pushing high and creating chances. The game turned into a slog because the players forgot how to control the football and/or pass it to a teammate and/or kick the ball with conviction towards the target. And we were only deep because Blackburn played a high line (did you miss the 400 "get up!"s from Mowbray on the touchline? Teams can afford to play a high line against us when you've got utterly, utterly wank attackers.

Well, I 100% back Rafa, but I will say that he does look a bit out of ideas. I guess the shit just keeps piling up for him. The uncertainty around the club cannot be helping with confidence. We look absolutely shot.

I think we had five shots to their one after about twenty minutes. Joselu's was the first, from a corner which the keeper parried away, the second main one also falling to Joselu after Ritchie's initial effort.

The squad is horseshit and his supernatural powers to get them playing above themselves has faded as it always would a bit. He does deserve some flack for negativity but I think many are deluded as to the true quality of the squad. A disrupted defence this season hasn't helped with some players losing form badly. For the record I back Rafa 100% regardless. He will get the team playing as well as they can do at some point, it may be too late but whatever.

Had the ball in good areas but it's hard to create an actual chance when no one can pass the ball past the first man.

No we didn't have that many.

Agree with this. We’ve broke him. The squad he’s got he has them so drilled to do enough to stay in the league that I don’t think the players have a clue what to do when it comes to attacking. Shame.

We definitely had 4 anyway, can't remember a 5th. Lejeune's one that left the atmosphere, Joselu's overhead kick, Ritchie's shot and Joselu's rebound
