The Benitez Thread

[Spike 12,049]

We won the game against Leeds because the boys were aware of the 'counter attack'.

Brazillian reporters dug through his garbage to find that! It was ESPN Press Pass so I think it may just be true.

It's not the first time jounalist's have done this. They did they exact same thing to AVB in Napoli.

Rafa comes in takes a team that was leaking goals and two days later holds the PL champions to a 0-0 draw: Two days later does the same in a local derby. Loses the next game when the team dominates WH and then reverts to the defensive form it became accustomed to under RDM. Then a CL game where, true to his form Rafa wins again - 6-1. (He is one of the most winning managers in the CL). Then off to Japan where, with a few days training, the team wins 3-1 and then loses 1-0 in a final with the Copa Americana winners who had been preparing for two weeks. It should have been another win for Rafa but the team reverted to RDM style defending and Torres missed a sitter Aside from Rafa playing himself in central defence and at centre forward nothing he could do about it. Return to England, pouring rain, two days preparation against Leeds - wins 5-1 despite another RDM-era defensive mistake. And through all this very impressive start he is booed by a handful of Chelsea fans - before the first match and all through the others - some of them wishing the team would lose so they could prove their point. It is so stupid it is almost not worth mentioning. It's not going to affect Rafa but it might affect the club.

Rupert : yada yada yada *gags on The Fat One's dick * yada yada yada

It's amusing that he blames the defeats on the players, credits the wins to the manager and hails the two 0-0 draws as something highly commendable. Although you have to give him marks for consistency; he's said before he's more a Benitez fan than the clubs he manages.

Well Rupert is entitled to his opinions - just because you don't like them no need to slag him off...

Has RB done a better job than RDM - who's to say? On the balance probably has... Post Jan is crunch time, will we get a new striker and will Torres be dropped!

[Rupert 130]

To my critics - I was watching and supporting Chelsea before you were born. The booers are not representative of the Chelsea I know. I started to post because I was ashamed of the booers. But now I realize they are not representative. The club is lucky to have Benitez and I will continue to follow his career wherever he goes although I think there is a high chance he will stay at Chelsea for a year or two if we are lucky.
