Dinho lad Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I imagine it was because he said Marriner's record is poor for us regarding red cards rather than just naming him Benitez said: “I have a lot of confidence in Andre Marriner. He has a lot of experience, even if his record with our players is not the best in terms of red cards.” The FA warned managers before the season started that they were not to name check referees and even though Benitez’s comments appear innocuous they have led to a charge.

TRon Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Dyer, Robert and Ba is an interesting threesome to name in that context Why? When I gave them as examples of an out ball to release the pressure with the first two they could carry the ball upfield, with Ba you could aim for him with the longer ball.

Tooj Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 My mate won a competition to be in the first team's official photo at the training ground this morning. Said Rafa had a 5 minute chat with him in the middle of the training pitch and stopped everything for him. No surprise but what a gentleman he is man, we're so lucky to have him.

Guest neesy111 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Always very diplomatic with his comments. Would imagine he'd make a good politician or diplomat if he wasn't a successful football manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Is there any chance Rafa could actually be sacked soon? These results would get a lot of Premier League managers the boot. I'd obviously hate to see it happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 If Ashley were to sack him then it would show quite definitively that the protests and unrest does not even remotely bother him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir_9 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Dare I say should have kept the negativity to a minimum if he was going to see out his last year and tried to maybe reconsider some of his decisions in the transfer window? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What decisions did Benitez make in the transfer window exactly that he should be reconsidering. Do enlighten me. Murphy has been a terrible signing so far. Muto has not had the impact you want from him given the fact he cost more than our average net spend. Letting Mitro go instead of trying to gel a system around him (I was not a fan of Mitro at all but its clear that he has some impact at this level). Look man, Rafa as impeccable as he has been in coaching poor quality players so far, overall I don't find that he has been remarkably astute in the transfer market for us.

I'm assuming Muto and Rondon will actually come good once they are up to speed, otherwise they were pointless signings. If they can't get in the team ahead of Joselu and Perez for any other reason than fitness, that would represent pretty poor judgement on Rafa's part.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I wouldn’t be against mixing it up a bit now. Maybe front 3 of Perez, Muto and Kenedy with a midfield 3 of Shelvey, Diame and Richie. Just get as many players on the pitch who can keep the ball a bit. Playing first time passes to shite target men isn’t helping anyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will obviously give credit to signings like Dbravka & Fernandez, but yes, exactly that. Considering what was spent on players like Muto & Murphy, these should be starters. We literally cannot afford bedding players in slowly, we cannot afford paying that much money on a regular basis. These need to be coached into what they were paid for and quick, otherwise they will be bad transfers. At least Murphy looks that way as it goes.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Well we can’t afford to bed people in slowly, but we literally can’t afford to buy people who will have an instant impact. It’s a tricky one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
