Rafa Benítez (now unemployed)


Recommended Posts

Shocking result, but he will turn them around eventually, this is an anomaly, he does have it in him, but judge him on his overall record.

The the last 3 goals Everton conceded today were shocking. 


He’ll be fuming at that. Players just threw the towel in. Losses are inevitable at some stage but the manner of it is what matters.

 

He spent less than 2m during their whole transfer window, you’d wonder if he’s walking into another situation where he’s being restricted. He’ll suffer through it but it won’t end well.

Just as importantly hasn't really had DCL or Rich fit all season and lost another two players in James and the fiddler.  He's had a tough time of it there because a lot of what they spaffed their money on was bang average imo.

Everton supporting friend from work is livid. Was never comfortable with Rafa going there but says that has now had enough and blames Rafa for performance today, Rondon's signing and subsequent poor displays. Wants him oot!

 

Tried reasoning, give him time, his methods take a while to imbed etc but not having it.

 

Wonder if these views are typical of Toffee fans in general?

He's a Liverpool legend tbf, they were never going to accept him unquestioningly. I think in his desperation to get back on Merseyside, he's made a rod for his own back. If he's backed properly, he'll no doubt turn it around, just not sure they will ever really take to his style of football.

If I was Rafa I would prefer to come back here where he is adored by the fans and will have an incredible project and journey over the next few years. I know he loves Liverpool but he just won't be loved there whereas we will sing his name every match. Surely he knows this and must be a little tempted. He would also be the ideal manager at this moment as he can sort our defence out :thup:

They definitely aren't happy, lol.

Their squad looks terrible at the moment

 

Two keepers on the bench today and they still can't fill their subs allocation

 

Jesus. I knew Rafa didn't have many options to add to the squad while they scrabbled around the bargain bin this summer but I didn't realise they were that bare.

I didn't watch the game or even the highlights yet, but a Rafa team conceding 4 goals in 12 minutes plus stoppage time is very uncharacteristic for him.

 

Rondon sounds like he's getting stick, but he didn't score in his first six appearances for us. It's still early days there.

He's a few years older mind
