mrmojorisin75 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Good start but they fell apart around the half way mark iirc. DCL couldn't stop scoring, got a little injury I think then barely scored again and they were pish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paully Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I wonder if those blue Scouse bellends who vilified him will finally appreciate the fact that they have a very good manager?! ? They’re extremely lucky to have him! RAFAEL! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re extremely lucky to have him! RAFAEL! Gonna be hugely irritating to watch that situation unfold, see it slowly dawn on the blinkered buggers that yes, Rafa actually knows what's he's doing and their preconceived ideas about him fall away while we flail around in the bottom half. They'll probably even receive praise in the media for "accepting" him in spite of his red history, conveniently ignoring the fact they castigated him before a competitive ball was even kicked.

Yorkie Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Pleased that he got off the mark after all the criticism. It's not good for me but I know I'll not be able to help rooting for him during the season. Hope they finish a good 20 points above Newcastle, not that I think they will.

Mattoon Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Had a quick scour of the Everton forums, there's some warming to him, some willing to give him some slack as long as he's winning and still a vocal amount slagging him off, putting the win down to managers first game or poor quality opposition, etc.. They really don't deserve him, he changed that game at half time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantail Breeze Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 He’ll be in the same bracket just under the top four as Leicester etc. with that squad. Which will be a great season for them. Man City, Chelsea, Man Utd and Liverpool will be a runaway top four with anyone and everyone scrambling underneath. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Second half these were excellent. Seeing the shit ‘he released Armstrong and he came back to haunt him lolololol’ crack was wank at half-time given he was literally handed a one-on-one on a plate due to Keane.

David Edgar Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 It was a quality finish by Armstrong. Lad is a prem quality player that Benitez threw away. Let's not ignore that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No even mistakes imo, every manager has to balance decisions with what's in the best interests of himself, the club & the player. At the time Rafa maybe didn't think he could wait 5 years for Armstrong to get where he needed to be, and he'd have been right. Also Armstrong is far from proven as a PL level player yet, lets not get ahead of ourselves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I only saw bits of the highlights but you can already see why he’s signed Townsend and Gray to compliment DCL. I really miss having a manager with an actual plan. It’s a shame he isn’t respected where he’s at, for now at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 You'd hope Everton fans will settle down and realise that Ancellotti bailed the moment the money ran out and a Big Club TM came in for him while Rafa has come in knowing the financial limitations and will almost certainly get them to the same place or better than Carlo did with much less to work with.

Superior Acuña Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Should prob remember that before Armstrong was sold he'd spent half a season on loan in the Champ and scored 1 (and 6 in a full season before that) then dropped down to League One where he looked good. Not sure it was clear then he justified a longer contract to wait around and see. Though the fact both him and Toney were missed should raise some questions.

McCormick Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Judging by their forum (I’m sad, I know) they seem to be on board with Rafa now. “He gets the area”, “tactically changing things at half-time to win the game” “staying behind for ages to personally thank the fans” etc. Proving what a class act he his. They don’t deserve him, man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbthree3 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 He's a legend of the city of Liverpool anyway, especially if he can try and unite the two teams together. Very tough ask and we're one game in so a lot of struggle to come Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
