If Torres fails to score tomorrow, somebody from inside the stadium should just throw a shoe at him. Seriously, he can just fuck off if he doesn't score tomorrow.

Wish he'd stop shooting from distance, always hits row Z.

What a legend, he keeps giving it his all and he's scoring goals too, not offering him a new contract doesn't even make sense.

Aguero, definitely.

For me it has gotten to the point where I'm not even getting angry about negative results anymore, I am used to it now and I'm expecting losses. But what hurts me is that we show no desire for most of the game, we only played well for about 20 minutes today, maybe even less than that. Just not good enough. In 2007 Rafa claimed we were a passionless and a soulless club, and that's what we have become now. If his mission was to turn us into a club without a soul, then it is safe to say he has successfully accomplished his mission.

Inter Milan and Chelsea: beat Barcelona in the semi-final in the Champions League - beat Bayern in the final - get beaten by Atletico Madrid in the Super Cup - appoint Benitez - start to decline. History has repeated itself. With us it has been worse though, with Inter at least he won the Club World Cup.

These are the consequences of the mutual hatred that exists among the manager and the fans of this club. Let's face it, Benitez hates this team and he always has. The fans never liked him and they never will. Long story short, it should've never happened. When he coached that scummy club he claimed that we were a soulless and passionless club, and that's what he turned us into. Summer can't come soon enough.

I really hope you're joking. Because if you compare us to the rest of the top clubs in Europe, we play the slowest and the most boring and unattractive football. Besides, Benitez hasn't improved this team one bit. After the club assigned him they released a statement on the official club's website saying "This decision was made so we can keep moving on the right direction" or something like that. Right direction my arse, this is anything but right direction. Robbie won us two trophies in less than two months in charge, on the other hand it took Benitez that long to get us knocked out of two competitions. I had high hopes when I learnt that Roman chose him as Robbie's replacement and I was actually kind of optimstic, but now I can't wait for this season to be over.

I wouldn't say he's embarrassed, he is now a famous dickfaced brat and he's laughing his ass off knowing that Hazard got red-carded because of him. Just take a look at the number of the followers he has gained in less than 24 hours, in a few hours he'll probably reach the 100k mark.

Deserved red card imo, very immature and unprofessional from Hazard. But if it was me, I'd have kicked him even harder probably.

Lmao, it took me like half a minute to realize who FSW was.

Admit it, you were surprised when you saw him go to the keeper's left.

I'm not saying that him leaving would fix all the team's problems but I'm certain that at least half of them will get solved once he leaves. He's simply not good enough for this team. Tries but fails all the time, if it wasn't for his mistake we wouldn't even have conceded today. Besides, Ba proved once again how much better and more dangerous he is. Probably if Benitez chose to start with Ba instead, we'd have scored more than just 2 goals today.

Good game. It's obvious that we were unbalanced in this game but I'm not going to complain. In the first half we were all over them and they were better than us in the second, so without being biased I'd say we deserved the win and they deserved their goal. Walcott is a great finisher and I knew we were going to concede as soon as I saw him in that position. I can't believe they gave 5 minutes of added time though. Seriously. There weren't that many injuries today or fouls to require 5 minutes of added time in the end. I've never seen this happen in the Bundesliga or any other league. No wonder United keep scoring in Fergie time, and they'll keep winning titles getting winners this way, as long as 5 minutes of added time are awarded each game. It's kind of inevitable.

That is great news if it's true.

In comparison with the rest of the elite European clubs, we are without a doubt the most inconsistent side and we play the most boring and unnattractive football. Millions spent, yet teams like Southampton and QPR manage to outplay us at home, this is just embarrassing. I for one cannot wait for this season to end, and I'm pretty sure that the vast majority of the fans feel the same way.

Statement on Di Matteo from the club's official website on 21 Nov 2012: "The owner and the Board felt that a change was necessary now to keep the club moving in the right direction." Right direction my arse.

Good game, this season we're clearly stronger when we play away from home. Hazard's goal was world class.

@Henrique, The fact that Luiz is Brazilian doesn't make me criticize him or dislike him. I don't like him because his recklessness has cost the team more times than I can count, and it seems that this guy will just never learn. I'm always nervous when I see him in defence especially in big games, because the chances are high that he'll screw up. With Ivanovic it is less likely to happen, because Ivanovic is more intelligent and is a better defender even if he's not as skillful as Luiz. Luiz is imo our worst defender, Ivanovic on the other hand might be our second best.

His Chelsea career is now officially over. He doesn't like it here, the fans don't like him anymore. Time to move on. Summer can't come any sooner.

I don't even care anymore to be frank. Roman tends to change managers more often than some people change their socks and it's not even interesting or exciting anymore. Nevertheless, I prefer Jose or Pep. Probably the only two managers I'd actually get excited about. But I have a weird feeling that Benitez will remain here for one more season.
