The visiting fans broke into the “fat Spanish waiter” chant directed at Rafa Benitez during Crystal Palace vs Everton
Roping in Rafael Benitez to take over charge of Everton after Carlo Ancelotti opted for greener pastures as he switched to Real Madrid looks to be one of the worst bits of business done by the Premier League side in recent time. Benitez’s age old tactics have transformed a more than capable Everton side into a dreary outfit, a team which is massively struggling in the 2021-22 season.
While they did manage to stem the rot with a win over Arsenal, Everton reverted to losing ways as they were routed by Crystal Palace at the weekend. Two goals from Conor Gallagher saw the hosts seal a 3-1 win on the day, a triumph which saw the ire of the visiting fans grow with them making their feelings of angst well heard.

Things are not well within Everton’s camp either with Lucas Digne left out of the team’s squad for the bygone 3-1 defeat. The move to leave the French defender out came in the wake of reports of him clashing with Benitez with the two locking heads after Digne called out the Spaniard for his modus operandi.
Meanwhile, Everton’s board is set to stick around with Benitez with him getting cash to do business in the winter transfer window.
