didierforever 7,349 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I agree but for me it's a case of prioritising stuff. I'd rather play a weaker team in the cups and play a full-strength one in the league, whereas Benitez seems to have focussed on making sure Mata and Hazard were available for the next two games. Now he might be following orders, but whoever made the decision got it wrong.The cups might be great this season, but we need to secure Champions League football for next season and at the moment he doesn't have an investment in that.i would like to butt in just once... i said almost the same thing when we had the discussion about the leeds match. see rafa does that u, doesnt he?

And it's possible he was receiving orders from above, but it's unlikely.If you look back at the pre-match thread you'll actually see that I was one of the few people saying we need to field a full-strength team, which is why everyone calling for Rafa's head because of his rotation is annoying me. Those same people were wanted to see rotation for match as well.To be honest, I don't care too much about cups this season. I would love if we won them, but I'm more worried about setting ourselves up for next season. In other words, getting ourselves into a CL spot and preparing for when we actually have a full-time manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary gordon 1,777 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 That's a disgraceful attitude to have.The club made a disgrace of itself betraying Robbie like he was a dog. I couldn't give a Fuck what happens anymore. As long as that fat piece of shit is in charge and that Fuckwit is wearing our number 9, I wont be giving a shit. Fuck em, lifes too short to waste worrying about my team when the fuckwits that make a difference couldn't give a shit.I miss the players that had heart. I miss the guys that kissed OUR emblem.

TrippingStep 336 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I wonder if Redknaap comment that any coach would have success with Lampard Mata Hazard had any influence on Benitez.Mata coming very late on the game.Like Benitez wanted to prove a point.

TrippingStep 336 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I was ok that he rested some players.But Ramires Mata and Hazard Cole at the same time was a bit too much. we missed some dynamism in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bababoom 4,478 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I don't understand how QPR deserved their win like all the pundits and such are saying, because we where literally all over them, there goal came off a bloody corner.Moses missed a huge sitter, and Torres especially.Same with certain matches in our CL run... Barca should of hammered us but we hung on and managed to win. The English press was praising us, i don't see anything different really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The English press was praising us, i don't see anything different really.Well i will even admit that we didn't deserve to beat Barcelona at all, but it was no fluke, but it isn't the same. And the reason why it isn't is because we got our revenge, we battered them on both legs and deserved at least 4 or 5 penalties, but you know what happened obviously.

Todays poser ,,,,,can you guess who?A rest aye? I guess being offside, slumping your shoulders, swearing at the sideline official and putting your hands in the air every time a team mate takes a shot and misses is exhausting. I can't wait till this fuckwit sits on the bench long enough for our owner to send him on his way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super_frank8 186 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I'm not so sure. If the guy is actually risking our top four aspirations by resting players so they can be fit for cup games, then he's a massive cunty twat and you can understand people's anger towards him.The league has to be the priority for Chelsea Football Club. But he doesn't get a photo with a cup or something to put on his CV for that.So it is only now that you are able to finally comprehend the issue with Rafa's managerial incompetance & general cuntish demeanour - once we've already lost a must-win home league fixture?Lol.Well at least you've finally seen the light mate - & despite our prior history of rather tenacious exchanges & animosity on this forum - I commend you for coming to your senses.Next time you're at the Bridge, I hope you sing RDM's name loud & proud.

Changingman_2000 876 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I am tired of saying it but he really has to go, and soon, like now. Does not, nor never will fit at Chelsea. He isn't wanted.I never thought that Chelsea would appoint a manager I despised more than Avram Grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdog 2,084 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I want that fool that typed on this thread that rafadyce had excellent man management skills. Defend yourself now after that shit we saw yesterday, which was 100 times worse then whatever Tinkerman ever did. Fool probably doesn't even know who the Tinkerman was. I am so fuckin' pissed right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
