Why not Rafa?!

Knee jerk as I always am but watching Everton United game and Everton look good….organised but playing nice football when breaking forward

Why didn’t we go for Benitez ?

He may not be free flowing pressing football but he plays an organised team capable of playing decent football

No disrespect to Everton but he would surely have chosen us given the choice

Nuno is more an Everton manger

Another mistake to ignore him perhaps

I’ll say one thing for Rafa, he’s got Andros Townsend playing like prime Messi these days, if he carries that on, the guy hands down deserves the manager of the year award.

Just to clarify I don’t want Rafa now ….just making the point that if Nuno was an answer why wasn’t Rafa even in the equation?!

Seems to tick the boxes Paratici wanted but also plays slightly better football so may have kept the fans happier than they are at present

Also getting fed up of hearing ‘give Nuno time’

Why?!?!

I don’t want to watch my team concede possession to most teams we play and with time what’s he going to do? Play even more defensively? Wrong bloke , wrong time , wrong club

Agree with you on the fallacy of the argument of being patient with Nuno and giving him more time. Some times in football an appointment is wrong from the very beginning and the hiring of Nuno is one of those times.

Fickle fans.

Give Nuno a chance it took Klopp and Fergie four years.

Fack off mate, you have him if you love him so much.

You were top of the league three weeks ago, is this what modern football is now sacking managers because of three games? (one of which against the Champions of Europe).

=========

Why?

Higher ceiling than Everton

Plus he may have thought why sour anything with Liverpool if he doesn’t have to
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I dunno, Evertons owners look well behind their project, new stadium on the way, getting good managers in, spending loads.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Plus he loves the city of Liverpool.

I remember Norwich being like seventh at Christmas once and then ended up being relegated. Being top after the first three games of the season is a meaningless statistic. Even in the games we won the performances weren’t there and the underlying numbers back that up, and ultimately that’s catching up with us now. By a number of metrics including expected goals per game we are worse than bottom placed and winless Norwich, you can talk about transitions all you want but this Spurs side should not be the worst team in the league and the numbers suggest that we are, and that even our current mid table position is false.

Benitezis a great manager bur the issue is if he doesn't have funds he automatically builds from the back and makes his teams solid first, which can be detrimental to their style. Once he has the players he can actually play some great attacking football. Short team I don't think the football would be great.

Benitez is a stubborn guy though and I just don't think him and levy would work. Maybe I'm wrong. Guy certainly knows world football and always finds some gems.
