The Benitez Thread

Now I read above, RDM had more knowledge about football than Rafa..?

In what way, i´d like to know ?

Because Robbie is an articulated, educated guy who has studied the beautiful game. Whereas thrush had early experience as an extra in the early Planet of the Ape films.

Snivelpool couldn't get rid of Thrush quickly enough in the end and, since then, no cunt has wanted him.......except us of course, for some fuckwit, arsewipe reason.

All the management jobs that habitually come up and not one for Thrush. Ever think to wonder why?

First of all, I have no clue where you came up with all these above...secondly, I´d rather if you stop swearing here. Perhaps, then we may carry on...?

Only 6 goals in 20 games is still a disappointment in my book, no matter what.

really? 3664 minutes for 20 goals for torres, compared to 6 IMPORTANT GOALS WHICH ACTUALLY COUNT AND AGAINST DECENT/GOOD OPPOSITION in 843 minutes. plus these are just stats. i wont care if torres had scored 1 goal in all the season if he has actually added something to us and played welll. most of the games he plays, it feels we are playing with 10 men. is it such a suprise that our league form has improved miles since january? NO. the simple reason being that when we had to play torres in EL, FA cups, BA playing in PL has made us better. and that is what matters.

In what way, i´d like to know ?

in the very simple and basic way that while RDM put in MAZACAR since his first match this season, FSW (due to his excellent knowledge of the game) was very skeptical of this and we rarely saw the 3 maestros playing together. remember how much moses was preferred over oscar in FSW's early days (not saying moses is bad but he aint no oscar). as soon as he put in MAZACAR back together we have been playing well.

seondly oscar's position. wonder why RDM never played him on the wings, to the point of even sacrificing mata on the wings. another BIG reason that i feel RDM was way more accustomed to these players than FSW can EVER be.

MOST importantly, RDM might not be a special one but i dont remember him putting him bad subs match after match. not saying that he never got a call wrong, but the point that FSW has screwed us over so mant times with his team selection (like choosing torres over BA to play at anfield when even by his rotation policy, it should have been BA who should have started, wait scratch that, BY ANY MEASURE it should have been BA who should have started) and what do i say about his brilliant subs.

so did u get to know?

When Rafa came in November, the team was in shambles, he had to adapt, slowly but surely he has adapted & currently Chelsea are playing the best football of this shitty season, in my view.

Since Rafa is the current Chelsea´s coach, for us all these ifs & buts are meaningless. Another month or so, Rafa´s gone & then you all can start posting your bombastic strategies here again.

You know?, Lets not carry on. Swearing is part of my working class upbringing and, I suppose, a way of stressing my point. I am not the only one to swear on here but I am singled out so....if it offends you, then feel free to ignore me and my posts, I'll happily ignore you

arsenal away, tottenham 4-2. suprising how people have forgotten those matches so quickly. if u ask me, our best match of the season HAS been TOTTENHAM away.

also the point is, did he adapt? he tried playing with the conservative strategy of not playing mazacar and now even FSW did exactly what RDM was doin in the start of the season - play these guys almost every match. the only difference in their regime was that FSW actually got matches in which he could rotate the squad (EL matches, FA cup matches). under RDM we had to play the same team match after match because we were playing CL, were near the top of the table and even our one match in COC was united. also dont forget even while rotating the squad, FSW has screwed us over. not just one game, but 2 (qpr at home, so that he could play a "strong team" against southampton in FA cup and southampton away for united in FA cup, when he was clearly told just a few days ago that 4th place and the league was his NO.1 priority.

i don't think he's a bad manager, just a deluded cunt

tut, tut. Don't you know that "bushman" has just dug me out for using such swear words. I feel it only right and proper that I pull you for the same thing that he pulled me for

So, for the record, Benitez is a word that rhymes with Hunt

Happy now "Bush"man?

I am glad we agree on it. Not interested in vulgarity, sorry.

If you can not see Rafa contribution to Chelsea however small, big..that´s irrelevant here, then just look at the current team´s performances. The team is playing well enough to win EL & finish 3rd. Well then, EL is not CL, I might point out but 3rd is better than 6th of last year. Therefore, those that cannot see it, I do not wish to argue further.

[pHaRaOn 2,131]

we're settled on 3rd position because of Robbie, not because of FSW.

we got humiliated in the UCL because of Robbie :blue scalf:

Some people will never see the importance of Benitez's work at Chelsea.

I agree that he's a complete cunt & has been clueless about substitutions since his Liverpool days...but he's steadied the ship.

He hasn't overachieved (by winning trophies) or underachieved (by finishing 5th or 6th). He's satisfied the minimum requirements of an interim manager.

Now, both parties can move on without too much of a fuss.

So what? We won it year before because of him too.

We can't win it every year.

My point was that we must not be thankful to FSW that we're heading to CL in next season.

Whatever one might call him, insult him but the truth remains the same. The team is playing much better in the last month or so than ever before during this season.

As for RDM, enough of parking buses was desired, then.

[nachikethas 1,154]

Fsw have zero brain comes to make substitutions. but for the last 2-3months i think we become more solid especially luiz performance is splendid.but still sub like yosi and Moses while we have two legends on the bench makes me puke at him.

but all personal bullshits aside i want something to say, if he was the manager in charge instead of avb we would have won epl.but then again cl would have to wait.

Really? The 08-09 season they were genuine title contenders until January,and with three straight draws they were gone. No way we would have won this season, too much to ask with the amount of changes we made during summer's transfer window, plus to jump from 6th place to 1st is a challenge in itself regardless.The only credit I will give AVB is the signings of young players (DeBruyne, Courtois, Romeu) and the signing of Mata, other than that Rafa would have lasted the same length of time as AVB did.

[nachikethas 1,154]

Dude i was referring to last season 2011-12 :-)

sure he only once came close but we had a pretty much better quality than his Liverpool side

This is probably the most sensible post made in the 250 pages of this thread..
