Rafael Benítez

[YNWALFC]

When Inter's problems started to emerge I used to share the blame, used to think that MM and Branca are also responsible big time and that Rafa needs a true chance.

But if you think about this a second longer, the only conclusion that a person can some up with is-THIS IS ALL HIS FAULT.

What can this guy do?

Motivate players?

Create a winning machine with true warriors on the field?

His tactics? SO OVERRATED!

Nowhere near Mourinho in terms of adapting to new leaugue and football culture.

Also, what about that weak, pathetic mercato? What kind of an idiot accepts to run a triple winning team knowing he would implement his own ideas(high defensive line, more possesion) and NOT request couple of players at least. No authority AT ALL.

This team wasn't constructed to play that kind of football and everbody knew that for a long time, Mourinho knew this very well and that was the main reason Inter won everything. KNOW YOUR LIMITATIONS!!

And after fat fuck realized that we need at least one strong winger and a creative CM(At LEAST) to play this kind of football what has he done to adapt to the given situation? ZERO, NOTHING, TOTAL INCOMPETENCE!!

I know it is not fair to Rafa(to compare him to so superior coach), but just remeber how Jose reacted after it became obvious that Mancini and Quaresma are flops and that 4-3-3 isn't going to work. AND HE HAD STANKOVIĆ AS HIS TREQUARTISTA FOR THE WHOLE FUCKIN SEASON.

CONCLUSION is where you arrrive when you stop thinking...you recognise the need for new players and slam Rafa for not having authority to buy those players.
His job description describes a coach but its become more of a caretaker role not the long term rebuilder your club needs.
You say THIS team was constructed to play a certain kind of football and your right but i dont think the Inter of the future will be playing this way if it is Morratti should of hired Tony Pullis not Rafa.

Your argument seems invalid all the while Benitez has completely failed to give Inter anything resembling structure. Regardless of the player material, all teams can be put into a structural organization. Even U-12 teams. Benitez has not done this and whether he just isn't capable or considers himself inhibited by circumstances, is irrelevant in the end. I don't have the count, but probably 30-35 players have minutes for Inter this season and for the most part, none of them has had a clue what to do on the pitch.

the fanboy is back...

Its funny he still talks like he knows his shit but in reality dont even know what Inter is, who and how and why Moratti hires/fires or buys/doesnt buy.

Hey I have news for you mate, Rafa would have bought Kuyt and that woudnt have made much of a difference. The team is built to play in a certain way, its defensive and its not wrong to play that way. Rafa isnt a caretaker, he has been given a 2 year contract to prove himself and if you knew the history of Inter you would know that if Rafa was above average this season, he would have got a renewal in the summer. Seriously, we are much better than the table and our performances suggest, the thing with Rafa is that he doesnt have the tactical nous equal to what a average Serie A sides manager. Accept it and move on.

The fact is we are 8th in the table and even with our injuries we should be higher than that.
The fact is the team is better than all teams that we have drawn/lost against.

If you cant really understand that, then you need to call your shrink. Over and out.

[Bruce007]

i don't think rafa is a total idiot, he just don't belong to preassure , and style of play in serie-A, maybe he better move to premier league or la liga..

 

[highbreed32]

I don't know, he certainly seems like a total idiot to me...

 

[Giacinto]

Do you really believe the BS your shovelling ?

Priceless coming from the scouse on an Inter forum.

Tell me how often do you visit San Siro how often do you visit the changing rooms i'll hazard a guess shall i. Never
So how do you know whats going on yourself do you trawl the internet like me .
Do you honestly think Morratti is going to carry your asses for ever, i know he's wants his money back and i havent grasped that out of nowhere, just like i know you have players who want away thats the reallity.
So pull your head out of your arse and look at the bigger picture your days of glory are a thing of the past as are half of your squad.

The reality is that THE FAT WORTHLESS PIG CALLED BENITEZ is garbage, nothing else. Also nice internet fan boy, how many times are you at Anfield, never.
Also FACT is that you got bought by American cunts that no nothing about football and they will play you like the whore that Liverpool FC truly is. Give it some time and you will end up trash like you were under the other Americans. When Torres and Reina leave you will have donkey Babel and the retard Ngog as your star players. Americans will laugh and the ones that go to Anfield (not you, you're too busy on other tams forums) wilkl cry. I will laugh,m be sure of that.

BTW I hear new phone tapping tapes have been found regarding match fixing involving Inter any truth in that ?

I heard Gerrard fucks 16year old girls up and Carragher likes fists up his ass. True?

So please you cut the Rafa hating BS

Just leave, Liverpool fan boy. This is INTER.

"Dirty scousers" getting a bit personal there whats up truth hurts does it Sugar daddy didnt spend nearly a Billion on buying your titles but liverpool did really.
You go to Anfield more than me ? really do you realise how stupid that makes you sound. Last time i saw Inter fans at Anfield we kicked your ass and i doubt you was there then either.
You really dont know which players want out ? you really do need to pull your head out of you arse.

Are you hurt that your owner has spent nothing on that bitch team Liverpool and wont? Last time we were at Anfield we definitely enjoyed the local women, from what I can tell, the girls there are very whorish. Understandable, good looking Italians against toothless welfare limeys...no match, is it?
Kicked our ass? Who, you? Hahaha....
And thanks for the advice, maybe you take your scouse head out of your mothers ass, so you see on what forum you are on. Liverpool, Europa League. That is reality. How many years has it been since you won the league? Were you born back then? No?

 

[CafeCordoba]

I'm really devastated that Moratti won't sack Rafa prior to the CWC. And then if we win it (I really believe we have a good chance despite Rafa), Rafa gets more time with that victory. I'd accept also a sack after the CWC, even after victory. CWC result don't mean jackshit to me in the case should Rafa be gone or not.

 

[n4l]

i was just thinking about something...

under rafa, in 4 months of competitive action, Inter has:

P 23
W 10
D 6
L 7

So it looks like roughly 43% wins and 57% no wins..

With that in mind, how come everytime we win, rafa gets credit, but everytime we lose/draw, the players (lack of motivation, not in form e.t.c) are at fault?

Why don't the players get credit for the victories or vice-versa (god forbid), rafa gets "credit" for the losses/draws?

The reason i say this is because i frequently hear the argument that the few games we've played "well" somehow shows what rafa can do...
So then, why is the converse not true? Why is it that the games where we don't win also show what rafa can do?
Especially when the Win/Non-win ratio is basically stacked in favor of NO WIN?

Is it that when we win and play well, rafa did his job and the players played their part but when we lose and don't play well, rafa STILL did his job but the players fucked up?

Just a thought...





btw, has vito stopped with the rafa v jose statistics?

 

[skeet]

if winning the CWC means rafa stays for for the rest of the season then i'm not sure i want inter to win

i'd rather lose the CWC and finish top 4 than win a pointless trophy and play in the europa league next season (if we're lucky)

No i dont know morati i merely presume he's going to cut his wage bill, like he has been doing and that he needs to start replacing his older players and basically start rebuilding on a more substainable buisness model.
But hey thats just me so take no notice i know fuck all about Inter, for example i believed the BBC website which told me Inter are in 5th place. but i'll bow to your supperior knowledge because surely no Inter fan would be wrong especially Suneet the Magnificent:joker:

PS Seems as i know fuck all can you tell me how many times your great first team as actually played together this season ?
PPS I thought you was ignoring me

 

[Stefan]

I believe after reading mm's words that he has already decided that rafa goes post cwc.

 

[YNWALFC]

I believe after reading mm's words that he has already decided that rafa goes post cwc.

Srangely enough i thought that after the loss to Athletico.
Looked again at the serie A league tables and its saying * subject to possible player strike ????

 

[mario.santon]

It's pretty much our worst start since Lippi...., and last year we won treble...
in the past seasons, we also have injuries, but things don't get as bad as this....

 

[Giacinto]

Rafa must be replaced. If Ancelotti wouldn't have the AC shitstain on his face, he might be available very soon. Chelsea lost again tonight and they play Spurs which they lost last season. Manchester next week. Then Arsenal. The way it looks now, Ancelotti might be available in January.

I believe that a new coach can only help. NOW. Get a new face in NOW then win the World Team cup, then regroup and then charge for the scudetto, it isn't lost yet. But wihth this fat piece of shit running our club into the ground as he has turned Liverpool into a laughing stock, things will only get worse and we will win nothing.

I don't want to meet Manchester, barca or Madrid in the next round but with our luck, we might have to. With a new coach we will have a chance though, if we get our heads together again, no need to submit. But we're only in that position because of Benitez, nobody else. He needs to go fast and then with a second wind, we can aim higher again. As long as this rotten dog is here, we will be annihilated in the CL and play in the europa League next season. I dont want to feel like Liverpool, that is a team of thieves and dogs.

 

[Sid]

Even maicon admits injuries are not the only reason why we're playing like shit read this..

http://www.goal.com/en/news/10/ital...ck-maicon-injuries-are-not-the-reasons-behind

yes maicon we need to do right things starting with MM getting rid of rafa immediately..

 

[pazzainteramala]

its def not just injured our reserves and bench should be able to bag wins....

 

[snake]

I think sometimes we're a little harsh on Rafa and his tactics for a game.

Considering the amount of time he spends at home putting together his contradictory press conference speeches...there is NO time left to do any tactical analysis before a game.

So give the man a break! Give him a kit-kat. Watch him eat that shit in 1 go.

It's been a long day for Benitez
But fans are on his side

The Spanish coach is having to contend with a lot of injuries but the club president is not expected to make any shock moves. In Gazzetta's online survey, the 17,000 respondents were divided, although 57% want Benitez in charge for the Club World Cup. Only first team players, Samuel excluded, will play in the Emirates.

Rafa Benitez in Brema. Reuters MILAN, 8 December 2010 - Nothing was moving on the pitch at Brema, but will there be tremors now at the club? The day after the total Werder wipe out, Inter are working hard at Appiano Gentile but the vibe is that Massimo Moratti is going to say or do something. But let's not be mistaken, save any unexpected surprises, there will be no shock dismissal of Rafa Benitez. That would be old style Inter (the one from the dark years), and it would only further complicate a campaign which, at the end of the day, could actually take the Neroazzurri to the top of the world.
Moratti — The day started today with part of the team turning up as normal at Appiano Gentile, continuing to work hard to make up for the many players out for injury. Everyone is confident that when fitness returns the sun will shine on them again, or that's what they're saying anyway, and that it will be a different team in Abu Dhabi. Their progress up to the final goal has been a calamity of results and methods. Moratti can't have been too happy with the methods: it's likely however that the Inter boss will speak to the coach by phone and in person with Branca.

58% of fans behind the coach — Rafa Benitez spoke straight after the match and played down the importance of the three "hits" they took from 10th-ranked in the Bundesliga Werder. The Spanish coach's mantra is that "the World Cup will be different, with the first team it will be different." Fans are hoping that too, although they are beginning to take sides, split between those who back Benitez, and those who want to see his back. Some hope that the former Liverpool boss will get his books and the team handed over to Beppe Baresi or even Zenga, who spoke to mediagol.it today: "No comment about a change of coach, all I say is don't give up Inter." Our survey showed that there is still a faction willing to give the coach another chance: 57% of the 17,000 respondents voted to see him on the bench in the Emirates.

Disappointing game in Brema. Reuters Operation World Cup — The Emirates is where the Club World Cup officially kicks off today with the playoff between Al Wahda (host team) and Hekari United (Papua New Guinea): whoever wins will play Korean team Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma, and the winner of that match will be the semifinal opponent of the Neroazzurri. Hopefully the Inter injury bench will be almost non-existent by the time of the World Cup. The team is due to leave on Friday, although not with Samuel and Coutinho, whilst Zanetti is no longer a concern (just one kick yesterday and therapy today), and Sneijder will be in tiptop condition. Milito and Chivu will also be back in the thick of things, although there are doubts for the semifinal, especially as regards Julio Cesar, who is not recovering as quickly as his fellow Brazilian Maicon. If they make it to the final, the full first team will be available (except for Samuel): that will be a totally different ball game, assures coach Benitez.
