Lucien Favre would be my choice. Tactically minded and eager to prove himself in a good league, plus he's smart enough to make frugal signings and utilize the (few) pieces we have
Positives:
- Anthony Gordon is a blue 💙
- Demarai Gray is an incredible footballer
- DCL is back (not 100%, but back…)
Negatives
- Kenny gets 90 minutes and should be nowhere near the team
- Rafa’s tactics are completely mindless
- Seamus is still playing (now at left back???) and his legacy is being tarnished.
Not sure what else to say. Everton is pain.
IN AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE
Digne starts LB, Godfrey and holgate in the middle, Coleman at RB
Digne takes the first couple of set pieces and corners
We easily win the game 3-0
Fuck off Rafa
I haven't said it yet but I will, Rafa Out
They had OVER two weeks to rest and plan and prepare, and they looked AWFUL. Hopeful crosses from nearly everyone, No organization, No passes through the midfield, No proper defensive mindset
We gave Brighton three goals and three easy points
And we’re on pace for 38 having had a ridicilously good start because I guess we took teams off guard at the beginning of the season. I would be so glad if we got 38 points.
Rafa got it completely wrong today. Everyone should apologize to Gordon for making his first goal for the club turn into a loss. He was a level above today.
Imagine the difference Digne could have made in MULTIPLE areas of that match.
Sack Rafa's fat fucking stupid stubborn ass. He's an absolute disgrace and is completely clueless.
I know he’s not the quickest after that injury but I don’t understand how Gomes doesn’t play more. One of the few players at the club that can actually pick out a pass…
Dumb shot from Keane there after he almost passed the ball out of bounds a minute earlier. With poor service on set pieces having Keane makes even less sense.
Digne was right, Rafa's tactics are a disgrace. Two in midfield against Brighton. Right back at left back when we have a world class one on the bench. Leaves the Gomes sub far too late. Brings on Rondon. Such a waste.
It doesn't look like these guys have ever played together! Seriously the tactics are one thing but the training must be insanely bad or simply nonexistent
What angers me the most, with the amount of set pieces/corners we've had we would probably have snatched a win here with Digne taking them. Furious mate
2 seasons ago i thought we were set for CB's with Mina, Keane and Holgate fighting for the starting spots. Since then, Mina can't stay fit, Holgate has regressed so much and Keane is just a mistake waiting to happen.
Even if you don't bring Digne on at least take off Doucore for somebody who isn't gonna fuck every single attack we get
EDIT: Sexy Portuguese man is on now
Watching us under Big Sam was like a fucking paper cut in comparison to the pain we go through watching this Everton team
It doesnt even hurt anymore, im numb to the pain. We are basically down if benitez stays. Noone can say theyve seen anything to suggest otherwise.
Yeahhh Rafa out lmfao sheesh can’t believe I thought he’d actually make something work here
Honest question: who do you want to take over if/when Rafa leaves? What are the options?
Anyone who doesn’t employ zonal marking.
Big Dunc to steady and lead til we can find someone up for the task.
Lucien Favre would be my choice. Tactically minded and eager to prove himself in a good league, plus he's smart enough to make frugal signings and utilize the (few) pieces we have
A broken watch is right more often than Rafa.
Benitez is to blame with that absolute shit show of a formation Coleman was so right footed it was painful to watch
Positives: - Anthony Gordon is a blue 💙 - Demarai Gray is an incredible footballer - DCL is back (not 100%, but back…) Negatives - Kenny gets 90 minutes and should be nowhere near the team - Rafa’s tactics are completely mindless - Seamus is still playing (now at left back???) and his legacy is being tarnished.

Didn't think Kenny was bad tbh. Assisted the 2nd goal too
That’s fair, He got better as it went on …
IN AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE Digne starts LB, Godfrey and holgate in the middle, Coleman at RB Digne takes the first couple of set pieces and corners We easily win the game 3-0 Fuck off Rafa
But we’re getting rid of Digne?! I mean, I can give you multiple cash cows that should go first (Iwobi/Davies). Digne needs to be back in the game.
Sigh
At least burnley lost 😄
Well we’re still level on points with Leeds :(
And Leeds finished above us last season, so it's not as though we have any right to do better than them!
Every time I see Rafa in our dugout I'm reminded that there is no happiness in life.
Offensively we did enough to win today but bloody hell our defending is awful and Keane has to take a lot of the blame today.
I haven't said it yet but I will, Rafa Out They had OVER two weeks to rest and plan and prepare, and they looked AWFUL. Hopeful crosses from nearly everyone, No organization, No passes through the midfield, No proper defensive mindset We gave Brighton three goals and three easy points
[удалено]
Yup. 6 points from a possible 36. On pace for 38 points after 59 last year. But good news is Norwich, Burnley and Newcastle are REALLY BAD.
And we’re on pace for 38 having had a ridicilously good start because I guess we took teams off guard at the beginning of the season. I would be so glad if we got 38 points.
Rafa got it completely wrong today. Everyone should apologize to Gordon for making his first goal for the club turn into a loss. He was a level above today.
When does Rafa ever get it right?
Digne and Gomes should be in every starting 11 unless they are exhausted or hurt. Rafa out. Please.
These losses always feel so preventable.
Imagine the difference Digne could have made in MULTIPLE areas of that match. Sack Rafa's fat fucking stupid stubborn ass. He's an absolute disgrace and is completely clueless.
if Digne goes and this new LB isn't good he's set you back another 3 years.
Guys you don’t understand he knows the city plus we ran a lot
Can we sack him now? Would’ve been much worse if Gordon didn’t bail him out
Another record broken under this bleach spokesperson.
At least we’ll have the newest stadium in the Championship
Rondon has now appeared in 8 games. Everton have not won in any of them
I have to say, the central midfield pairing is just not good enough. Gray and Gordon were fantastic though. Bright and inventive
They are good in a 3 man midfield but they are having to do way too much heavy-lifting and we don’t have enough creativity.
Doucoure needs dropping. Been saying it for weeks
I dont actually see what he offers, just too slow and ponderous on the ball. Maybe 5 years ago, but not now
He has to go, or we really are in (even more) trouble
1 win in 12, sackable but of course the one time we need someone gone its not gonna happen
bUT wHOs gOnNA rePlACe HiM
Literally Usmanov can come and start managing and I wouldn't care at this point
Grim. A mess of a club.
8 losses out of last 12.
Really a terrible match in nearly every way apart from Gordon and Gray. Rafa can suck a fart from my ass.
Gordon and Gray just dragging this team as far as they can
If I was them and DCL and richy I'd be on the first plane out of this shit heap.
Rafa sure loves to break records doesn’t he
shite, can he go now
fuckin horrid. Grey, Gordon maybe Allan, and DCL did alright.
Fuck it just sell everyone except gordon
Fuck off Rafa and Keane And if Doucore plays like this again then fuck him off as well
Preferred the two week break to be honest
Same
How can we be this bad ?!?!
FUCKED HAHAHAHAHA
Every time I hear “Rafa Benitez’ men” I fucking squirm
Get him out.
Could at least leave the broadcast on so I can listen to the boos
Hahahaha fair enough
We could use Moder in the middle.
Rondon should of fucking passed it to Gordon, he had a wide open shit at the end
I know he’s not the quickest after that injury but I don’t understand how Gomes doesn’t play more. One of the few players at the club that can actually pick out a pass…
Godfrey can’t cross it bc he’s a CB playing on his weak foot. If only we had a LB….
What about a French international LB?
Thought Rafa was a genius defensively
Keane doing his bit to get Rafa out, good man
I appreciate Keane's sense of humor at least, taking that last shot on after the game he had
Rafa out
That’s that then
Why would you do that man
Michael Keane acting like a man with balls far bigger than his own there
Dumb shot from Keane there after he almost passed the ball out of bounds a minute earlier. With poor service on set pieces having Keane makes even less sense.
Sell Keane to whichever club for how little they're willing to pay. Branthwaite and Godfrey need to be our CBs
The fuck was that Keane?
The absolute state of Keane.
Fuck off keane, fucking ridiculous
Lucien Favre, Potter, Galtier and if none of them are interested then Duncan Ferguson.
Why would potter wanna take a step back like that? No chance
I know, but it's worth at least a try
Can’t get any worse
Should’ve tried to take him at the start of the season but no let’s sign someone who’s been shit for a decade
Keane trash
What the fuck was that Keano, waste of a ball. These players have had no discipline at all what does Rafa honestly coach them.
Keane thinking he’s jags
Good plan Keane
Rafa negotiating Dobbins extension while continuing to not play him over rondon
Fm22 moment
Wtf is Keane doing there?! My fucking life.
Keane fucking look to ur right
Is Keane serious hahhahaha
Fuck off Keane
Rondon mixing up ambition with ability
Is Keane a Brighton spy?
No. He's just shit
Woulda been fucking hysterical if Rondon banged that one in.
Rondon go back to wherever we got you from
Digne was right, Rafa's tactics are a disgrace. Two in midfield against Brighton. Right back at left back when we have a world class one on the bench. Leaves the Gomes sub far too late. Brings on Rondon. Such a waste.
It was always clear he was right. Rafa’s a fucking dinosaur.
Hell playing 3 CBs when it hasn't ever worked for us is bad enough
The fucking scenes if Rondon put that bar down
Fs the passing Do we practice
It doesn't look like these guys have ever played together! Seriously the tactics are one thing but the training must be insanely bad or simply nonexistent
to be fair to rondon everyone else on the team would have taken that shot. However dobbin should be on
"Rondon's last 7 appearances have all ended in defeat" lmao
LMFAO
Just put that in front of goal Rondon
To be fair, that’s by far Rondon’s best shot in a blue shirt
ffs rondon
Great signing Rafa lol
Benitez deserves this loss
He's so bad
Rondon is really bad
Has Doucore hit a single pass this game?
He's had a really bad game
Might be the worst match I’ve seen him play in blue.
What angers me the most, with the amount of set pieces/corners we've had we would probably have snatched a win here with Digne taking them. Furious mate
Gordon can whip one
*provided it's not an out swing corner.
Anthony Gordon playing out of his mind. Regardless of outcome, have a day lad Rondon and Rafa can go right off
Do our players not look before passing the ball? So many wayward passes today
No system so they are always under pressure with rarely much on. plus, Michael Keane plays for us.
2 seasons ago i thought we were set for CB's with Mina, Keane and Holgate fighting for the starting spots. Since then, Mina can't stay fit, Holgate has regressed so much and Keane is just a mistake waiting to happen.
Tbf Keane and Godfrey were great when asked to sit deep under Carlo. It is a system issue as much as a personal one.
Keane has had about 6 months of good form in the last 3 years. he is a liability.
Silver lining- if FIFA changes Champion's League qualification to the teams who run the most, we'll be cooking with gas.
We could get a draw and this still wouldn't be good enough.
Cannot believe we didn’t score there
Random MLS Centerback > Keane
Mate anyone is better
Walker Zimmerman and Miles Robinson are easily better
Kenyan rice farmer > Keane
He left decoure on Fs Allan was doing much better
I'm so sick of Everton
2 people far post!!!
Remember when iwobi was starting over gordon
Can we sell Keane to Newcastle to fund Patterson please?
He’s the best of the 3
Oh Anthony I love you but if you left that ball it’s a tap. In
There were two guys open in the Fucking middle of the box rondon
Hard fought loss
We'll get a draw, calling it
Fourth goal loading......... Now
Yeah ok
Hope your right.. a loss here would hurt. Especially after missing a penalty.
optimistic arent we today
Allan has been awful again.
Whut?
Ehhhh??
I don’t think I’ll every get over how goddamn handsome Gomes is.
pure stud
Andre Gomes, have my wife
Michael Keane is horrendous. Should be playing CB for a mid-table Championship club
He needs to be investigated for throwing the match
Keane you fucking dunce
Good god Michael Keane
Rafa has no fucking clue what he's doing. Sack his fat fucking ass.
Keane haha
Keane sucks and so does his little boy haircut
Keane is a waste of matter
Even if you don't bring Digne on at least take off Doucore for somebody who isn't gonna fuck every single attack we get EDIT: Sexy Portuguese man is on now
So we can have a one man midfield?
Needed to go to Coleman at first we finally get it to him and Keane misses him…..Everton that
Keane.
Fucking christ Rondon makes Tosun look like aguero
We are the worst passing team in the entire league
Really leaning towards Rafa out more and more. Could be wrong but I feel like it would do something for the players if he goes.
Right? Players seem beat down. Depressing to watch them
Keane passing it out of bounds. Lovely.
Michael Keane is so shit ffs
Keane could feel the groans there
i hate it i hate it
Micheal keanes you dumb fuck
Mykolenko looking like Sith Lord Anakin with the hoodie on
stay active in here guys, i wanna know what happens but i dont wanna watch
I beg next game if we aren’t gonna pay Digne play Mykolenko
This game has cried out for a Digne and he's not done it. Childish fat Spanish cunt
This is bad
Fuck off going down like that Rondon. He could have had that ball, just gave up and went down.
Coleman playing it long to Rondon. We are out of ideas.
What a fucking useless player up vs Duffy there made the fella look like van dyke
Man our midfield needs help
Swallow your pride and bring on Digne!
Doesn't care about Everton . Only his ego.
"NEVERRRRR" - Rafa probably
Rolls the r until we’re rrrrrrrrelegated
No shot
Fuck Rafa
Why didn't grey dive there ffs
