Mr Logic Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Pretty sure this is how Leicester did it in their PL winning season. Just quietly going about their business and then BOOM... champions. Ummm, nope. Leicester looked pretty good as an attacking force from day one as I recall. (Caveat: Unless you're being funny). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Newcastle's 1-0 win over Roy Hodgson's Crystal Palace means Magpies manager Rafael Benitez has never lost a home league game in English football against a coach who has also managed England. He has won 17 and drawn four of his 21 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Still one of the best managers in the world. And unlike some doesn’t need vast sums to make a good side. Give Rafa another 60m and I reckon we could be a very tasty side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Don't see what Crooks is saying wrong there to be honest. Benitez is a manager who is capable of winning the title with a team given the resources. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
newsted Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Pretty sure this is how Leicester did it in their PL winning season. Just quietly going about their business and then BOOM... champions. Leicester looked pretty good as an attacking force from day one as I recall. Agree. I only know this cos I work with a Lesta fan and I was telling her from January they were going to win the league, it was a perfect storm. She's a bit jumpy and couldn't watch any of their games. Feel for her, she's been staunch throughout but that's where she was at the time. Went to Wembo etc in the past. Imagine that. We win the League and you didn't watch it cos of anxiety. Fuck that. Gimme another pint, I can cope Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Don't see what Crooks is saying wrong there to be honest. Benitez is a manager who is capable of winning the title with a team given the resources. He'll definitely win a trophy if he's given the sort of funds the top clubs get. You could argue he'd do it even given half that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Apart from Elliot, who is actually only really Championship level in our team? Manquillo is iffy but he's better than the Championship, same with Perez & Joselu. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manquillo is iffy but he's better than the Championship, same with Perez & Joselu. Nobody, the squad is actually better than people think. Don't get me wrong it's still shite But i don't think we'd go down with a different manager tbh.( obviously within reason) Rafa is doing a fantastic job, goes without saying but i think people overplay it sometimes.

Guest firetotheworks Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I think the exact opposite tbh. I think we'd be bottom or thereabouts without Rafa tbh. The league is very competitive this season and there isn't one team that massively stands out as a certainty for relegation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Obviously it depends on the manager, Pardew would have us relegated without a doubt. I just think a lot of the teams from 10th downwards are very overrated talent wise, with or without Rafa i think we are better than the bottom 6 imo. The front 2 are utter garbage but most of the team belongs in the 11th-15th range. Basically any manager who doesn't actively make the team worse would have us safe personally.

triggs Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Apart from Elliot, who is actually only really Championship level in our team? Manquillo is iffy but he's better than the Championship, same with Perez & Joselu. I don't think any of the players you mentioned are better than the championship. Perez spent a lot of last season playing poorly and I just can't imagine looking at Manquillo or Joselu in the championship and thinking they're too good to be there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye for another manager - strong performers like Lascelles, Yedlin, Clark, Shelvey and co could really struggle. Let alone Perez, Hayden, Manquillo and Joselu.
