Starting to doubt he'll be given the opportunity though. Can I have a few pints of what you've been drinking please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially with no cash to spend. Don’t buy that too much at all. Everton’s squad is no worse than Arsenal’s, for example. Yet they’re eight points and nine places behind them. Teams like Brighton, Brentford and Palace above them. Getting knocked out the cup by QPR. He’s underperforming with the resources at his disposal, regardless of what transfer budget he has or hasn’t had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 (edited) I want to be clear that I wasn't directly comparing their circumstances in career, just the twin qualities of this situation and ones Mourinho found himself in towards the end - 1. Results consistently under par + comments about decreased managerial ability / dressing room / "outdated" tactics etc 2. A defense being offered that it's actually just the players fault for not going along with grand plans I also wasn't saying he's necessarily already in that zone just that he's on the precipice.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Didn’t look like they played too bad based on MOTD. Loads of errors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Everton's squad has no depth at all and they've been without Doucoure, Richarlison and DCL for long spells. It doesn't excuse them playing as badly as they are, but it certainly hasn't helped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geogaddi Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 5th highest spenders in the league over the last five years Everton apparently, they are absolutely terrible though and have nothing at all to show for it , shows how easy it is to go wrong even if you spend a load of money .

If Benitez was mapping out the project in terms of getting the facilities upto scratch, Scouting in place, academy feeding players through, etc. Getting players to buy into Newcastle, I think he'd be well poised for it.

The Prophet Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Rafa is on a hiding to nothing at Everton. I'm unsure why he took the gig. Everton are in the shit. They've exceeded their FFP limit and have very little to show for it, bar perhaps 4-5 players. He took the gig not only knowing this but knowing the fans would be on him from the off. They got off to a good start, but then suffered a couple of key injuries. Once their form went, the support went and the momentum has totally reversed. The wheels have come off and he doesn't look like he has an answer. Its only going to end one way and it was always a matter of when not if. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaqen Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Thought they were quite lucky at points in their early good spell to be honest. A lot of the time in large portions of those games they were fairly terrible and it seemed obvious they'd not be able to sustain those kind of results playing like that. Everton have much bigger problems than just Rafa but there's no doubt he's doing a poor job there too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danh1 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Proper toxic atmosphere at Everton like. I hope Rafa is still there and that they’re still struggling by the time we go there just after Christmas. Early goal, away end singing about Benitez would just about do it for us.
