I personally think Benitez has given sufficient funds to avoid having to play football that is this bad.
According to transfermarkt, he's spend 140M (Euros). Now, sure that's not that much these days but how many of his transfers have been hits from that 140?
Games - NO
Lazaaar - NO
Hayden - NO
D. Murphy - 1/2
Diame - 1/2
Yedlin - 1/2
Clark - 1/2
Hanley - NO
Sels - NO
Gayle - 1/2
Ritchie - 1/2
Merino - NO
Manquillo - NO
Joselu - NO
Atsu - NO
Lejeune - 1/2
Murphy - NO
Dubravka - YES
Ki - 1/2
Rondon - 1/2
Schar - 1/2
Fernandez - 1/2
Muto - ?
The obvious no's in there. Maybe some harsh ones like J. Murphy but that's because Benitez has barely used the kid. £12M down the drain. He bought Gayle for £12M to essentially do a job for 18 months. Muto, £10M to barely be used. Manquillo, £5M down the drain. Atsu, £7.5M down the drain. Joselu, £5M down the drain.
We played s**** stuff in the Championship and have done for the majority of our return to the Premier League. We need 3 miracles to stay up in my opinion.
1 - We need money to buy about 9 players. RB, LB, CB (unless Lejeune, Fernandez and Schar guarantee Lascelles stays away from starting XI), RW, LW, CM, CM, CAM, CF.
2 - We need to get rid of Benitez because if he was given money (he's been given £140m and wasted a f***ing lot of it).
3 - We need to somehow find a manager who can spend it wisely and 'naive' enough to think our team can go toe-to-toe with Premier League giants, Huddersfield. f***ing joke.
