That's one problem with him. Always backing off runners. Passive with his defending, not proactive enough in tackling the opposition player. He should have closed down Adebayor for the goal. He had 3 players covering the other Spurs attacking players but he didn't put his foot in. And we paid the price for it!

Anyone gonna praise him now? Clueless substitutions especially the Benayoun one. Benitez was clearly settling for a point then and he didn't even use his 3rd sub! Torres was so useless that I can't believe Ba wasn't even brought on! Ridiculous!!

Should have won the game. By miles the better side. Didn't take our chances (again) and then conceded sloppy goals (again). Typical. A point, however, is by no means a disaster. Just keep the battle going, needlessly IMO. Could have completed the job tonight but now we face a nervy battle in the last 2 games especially with the Europa League final to come and the players looked to have ran out of steam. Anyway, beat Aston Villa or Everton and we will finish in the Top 4. Win those 2 games and a Top 3 finish will be guaranteed.

Good player but will command high wages and wouldn't want a player with an attitude problem. Not worth the trouble especially when even Fergie has had problems with him.

Praising Benitez while we're still playing, despite the lead? Blimey. Best to just wait till we get the job done first...

Merged with this Europa League final thread.

Am totally shaking like a leaf here! Feeling very nervous!!

Well, just hope we secure Top 4 finish by then. Win tonight and it is done.

Lebanese boy....that sounds rather...oh never mind.. If anything, blame Strike!

Jose Mourinho still ALL about Chelsea despite Old Trafford vacancy

Your opinion or not, there is no need to insult others just because he said something different from your view. We expect every member in the forum to treat each other with respect, regardless whether you like them or not. Well since you said it is a FACT, then maybe it would be better if you actually explain why so as opposed to just insult others.

Another Opposition Views here by @Strike.

Chelsea abandon Falcao pursuit to focus on Robert Lewandowski According to Daily Star, we have dropped our interest on Falcao because he's too expensive for a 27 year old.

Jose Mourinho's managerial record against Sir Alex Ferguson - P16 W7 D7 L2.

In the midst of all the crazy Mourinho returning, heading to United etc rumours, hoping the fans present at the Bridge tonight would cheer on the players and back them for the win we need here, not chanting anything about Mourinho and/or Benitez.

Thanks a lot for that..

Oooh Spike. Why would I even post nonsense stuff on the forum here? Sheesh!

United will announce their new manager in the next 48 hours according to Sky Sports.

Would be funny if Benitez heads to Man United. The red side of Merseyside will be thrown into chaos.

Said it several times before, when he's not bickering and talking nonsense about referees and other teams, he's a great person to listen to. One of the best, if not the best ever manager and have total respect for what he has achieved at United.

Looks like Dembele won't play tonight, if this is his account..
