    Will never warm to Benitez as our manager, but can't fault his work, apart from Club W C when he got the selection wrong.
    Gritty win today when we were off the boil a bit, largely due to excellent pressing by Everton.
    We need a lot of work on our ball control and passing, especially Ramires and Ivan who hardly ever found a team mate. And why can't our goalkickers kick to their own team ??????????
    Still, the kind of win that only good teams can manage.

    If he were around long enough to do work on the academy, and work for the local area and charities as well as bring in some silverwear. You would eat those words in time, why, Rafa, although not the most warming personality on match day interviews, is a decent man and a very good manager. Time is the issue here, it is too soon for the most ardent Rafa haters to like him yet <laugh>


    Your last line, A win that only good teams can manage. Liverpool beat them 2 3 on their ground, Liverpool not a good side and yes the last Good goal was disallowed so it was 2 2.

    No credit to Rafa then for getting it right, he played Lamps and Lamps got 2, credit to all I would say.

    Was that the one scored by a player who should have already been sent off?

    My point was, it was not just the team, Rafa picked the team that some of ye disagreed with and he got the result with what he put out.

    A managers plan and a good team win matches of that kind not just a good team. You troll and when I troll back I get banned is that it?

    Debatable sending off, Definite goal <ok>
