The Benitez Thread

[Leif 6,006]

That excuse he's used for Torres playing like shit vs. Swansea because of a 'stomach bug' is literally one of the worst things I've ever heard.

Maybe it was true,who knows.Lets not dwell on the past now though,just be happy that the stomach bug is keeping him on the bench for today's game.

I like the idea of committing so much money to a manager. It makes him much harder to sack.

The total control thing I'm not so keen on because I actually think that the board have made some good moves in the market, but I assume this is pretty much a bs story anyway.

The most exciting thing with him coming in could be having a fresh set of eyes evaluating all of the talent at the club. That can only be good for players like Chalobah, Feruz and McEachran.

When Rafa was signed I thought he could help Torres. Now, I see he is powerless. No one can help Ferda, I feel.

The only one just might help the club is Roman. Just by packing his bags & sending him to some Spanish bull´s arena.

I find it funny how the myth going round is Benitez was only appointed to get the best out of Torres.

May it occur that there was just no better manager around available and ready for work mid season.

Unless their are people who rate McLeish?

Actually it was Benitez who was trading on those rumours - but he needs to drop Torres now!

Redknapp was available at the time...

He would have been a disaster in every sense of the word. The complete opposite to what we need.

Most of us agree Rafa was not brought in to rescue Torres only. However, he came in with the hope to help Ferda too.

Has anyone seen this pile of bullshit. I wrote it in this thread how Benitez is constantly up Torres ass and this is just a petty poor excuse. I hate Benitez even more for this. What sort of bullshit. Oh so, Torres has a stomach bug and you have a better striker on the bench yet you start the supposed guy with a "stomach bug". He always defends Torres, even when he knows he is not playing well. FFS will do everyone good when both these two clowns are out of this club. Ridiculous!

I will admit this, I am a rafa hata. I hated rafa when he was @ l'puke. I hated rafa when he was @ Inter, so why do I have to have love for him now? I will give him this, today he showed me something when I seen him hobble to the ref @ halftime. I guess he wanted to be up there to challenge Pullis. Also props to him for not starting Torres. I still will hate him though. Like Henrique, Ima hata

Champions of Europe - Fuck off Rafa

i still cant see the use of starting bertrand on the wing against stoke... we might have won the match but i feel it was a bad and useless move.

That is just madness! And really, I don't see the point of hiring Guardiola and paying him so much when Roman is probably just gonna sack him the minute we hit a bad run of results.
