  1. Some good defensive play, very weak offensively I have to say. Hard time keeping the ball and only seem to get close to their goal on the break. Boring half.
  2. Three different managers rate him higher than the other option(s). That says something don't you think?
  3. Don't agree with the great leap part tbh. His goal against Shakhtar was great but he didn't get off the ground much. Tim Cahill was a excellent header but he didn't exactly dominate in the air. You couldn't play long balls to him knowing he'd win most aerial duels. Falcao is the same currently. Long balls are pretty much useless in this team imo.
  4. You realize Moses is shorter than Oscar right? He's like 5 ft 10.
  5. Yeah I have to agree with you on Oscar. Wishful thinking on my part. After his appointment I immediately thought about Roman (and the board) wanting a attacking Chelsea side then why Benitez? His Liverpool team wasn't attacking and from I've read, the same goes for his Valencia team. He's not that type of manager, he's about results. So either right now it's all about the results or those plans have been ditched. Or maybe the people in charge aren't making sense (again). About Ramires, I don't know. Klopp makes it work with Grosskreutz, who's also the unconventional hard-working type, but then again, a more natural wide player than Ramires.
  6. He called him the fat one? That's possibly gonna be a new nickname. The Materazzi joke was funny yeah.
  7. Oscar? He could probably play there with time, for the sake of the team. Or we see Lamps making a comeback, with clear instructions. Which would mean we go back to the team everyone complained about haha.
  8. Think we'll see Ramires return to the wing under Benitez, playing a similar role to his former beloved Dirk Kuyt. Not adding much to the team in terms of wing play and on the ball but providing balance to the team.
  9. Obviously not serious. And if you're gonna play Luiz in midfield, it's anywhere but DM. He lacks concentration and he'd constantly leave holes. A CM role, like the one in the formation, would give him freedom.
  10. Benitez will revolutionize football at Chelsea! That's just how Benitez rolls. Cech Ivanovic - Cahill* - Cole Mikel David Luiz ------- Ramires Mata Moses - Torres - Hazard * Terry to play the sweeper role when fit Chelsea - City 3-1 (you can't stop Tevez from scoring a goal against us)
  11. My point was he was in charge of Liverpool for six years so you don't just point at one season. They were indeed balanced.
  12. Odd response. That's like saying Chelsea in the Abramovich era were very offensive because they broke the PL goal record in 09/10.
  13. It seriously drives me crazy! Torres this, Torres that. Give it a rest, he's done. It's called poor form, every team goes through it. Chelsea even has a annual November slump. We went on a 7 game winning streak before that I think. It is simply ridiculous but it's the way it is.
  14. Our last six games were against Utd, Swansea, Shakhtar, Liverpool, WBA and Juventus. There's no way you can deny that's mostly tough opposition. Fair enough on the last part. But what do you expect though, he's clearly not a wanted man (didn't know he'd be this unwanted haha).
  15. Why only point out those games though (and we've struggled against Liverpool for years)? There were games against Shakhtar twice, Utd twice and Juventus in our poor run of games. You didn't answer my question btw.
  16. If the board can't accept it from Di Matteo, and his run was mostly against tough opposition, why accept it from Benitez?
  17. No. But we'll sing 'There's only one Rafa Benitez' though.
  18. Now that would be entertaining.
  19. Rafael Benitez and Boudewijn Zenden.. This is really happening, still can't believe it.
  20. I'm not mad at him for saying that. But what about not saying anything at all?
  21. I really wish this constant talk of Torres would finally end. He doesn't deserve the attention.
  22. Sack a Chelsea icon who won the CL and FA Cup for a passenger to take over for the rest of the season. Hmm. Oh well, he's our manager now and we'll have to back him as him doing well means Chelsea doing well. How long till the fans sing 'There's only one Rafa Benitez'? Haha.
