The Benitez Thread

[gary gordon 1,777]

according to Benitez everyone needs resting and rotating except for one player ... 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.

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

I really hate Benitez and cannot wait till the season jst ends to see the back of him

[Manuf 1,448]

take a fucking note, fat shit

[Laylabelle 9,384]

I hope it doesnt become a case of we can beat the top half/quater and yet struggle crazily with the bottom half

[super_frank8 186]

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.

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.

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

[DarcyWard 13]

Can't believe we didn't go for Harry instead of this inept clown.

Congratulations Rafael Benitez, you have won the prize for the worst start in recent managerial history!

Keep him 'till the end of season and bring Mourinho. Simple.

has rupert or rafafan been here today???

[robdog 2,084]

has rupert or rafafan been here today???

they are probably on a l'puke forum laughing at us like the rest of the EPL are

[LDN Blue 7,903]

K. I don't like Rafa as much as the next man, but I draw the line at people saying they wish 'Arry was here

[laura90 556]

As for your assessment of our board, I think you're way off the mark. I think we have amassed some of the best talent who are just waiting for a guy to lead them to a sustained period of success. I think Hazard and Mata fit the team perfectly and that Oscar can take Lampard's position in the squad long-term.

No I'm not.

Yes, we have some great players.

However, continued success isn't coming from talented players, it comes from having stability at a football club and implementing certain principle and sticking to it.

That further helps in developing an identity, a system, necessary for long term success.

Needless to say without having a coach that can last at least 2 seasons trying to develop an identity is essentially mission impossible. Finding the right one should be their priority . As I said before, they have bought a whole bunch of toys and are spending millions and months looking for master puppet to make their toys work. When they should have sat down with someone credible to discuss first and then put their players together. That won't helpthem in finding the right guy. We went from team by Ranieri and Mourinho, football brains who made almost every pound spent well spent, to team made by Bruce Buck, Ron Gourlay, Emanelo and Roman.

Business men, not football people.

Under new manager every year we will continue to evolve, devolve, mutate and metamorph in the years to come. One minute the players are adopting a new, attacking style of play then out of nowhere the manager gets sacked and we bring in a manager whose philosophy is to be compact and disciplined. We depend on the individual creativity of players which can be easily suffocated by a credible opposition coach. That can't continue much longer.

Otherwise, we might often witness players disinterested and disoriented when things don't go our way.

We will continue to struggle on a regular basis for as long as we lack stability. And that's exactly why I believe our club's structure and organization is bound to change as well as our manager. And I'm patiently waiting.

I still think you're way off the mark with regards our board. Firstly, our squad is assembled by far more people than simply the four that you're apparently aware of. Secondly, if you look at the academy and reserves the identity and system of football is relatively uniform which has contributed to a decent amount of success in the youth teams. You don't seem to give the board any credit whatsoever for this.

They've also amassed a shockingly large amount of young talent and secured a surprisingly high number of them high-profile, rewarding loans. That is invaluable.

The one point I think you're correct about is the need for stability in the coach position. But I actually think they've identified the guy they want and are doing everything possible to secure him for next season.

Plus NONE of our managers have been sacked out of nowhere. Each one knew it was coming and I actually don't think any of them have been that unfair. But clearly the board actually recognises most of the failings you have identified and have been trying to rectify them, but they've been unsuccessful thus far.

At least the tinkerman had dignity and humility, something not in Tubbys repertoire.

It's always someone elses fault, (must be the scouse influence). His interviews are always evasive, he finds it impossible to pinpoint the problems or solutions and simply harps on about how we must work hard together and focus on the next game.

God knows what the players must think, working with that every day.

Yesterdays result though was simply disgusting, I've been angry at performances, results, players in the past. But can't think of a time when one has actually left me feeling sick.

I would rather have Arry or AVB right now, but would draw the line at Grant

I would take Grant over Rafa. He's a useless fat guy in a suite, but he's not a useless fat guy in a suite who Liverpool supporters drool over. I think we should actually just hire an actor to pretend to be manager for the rest of the year.

Some suggestions...

David Attenborough-He'd be useless, but at the press conferences, he could explain the grazing patterns of our striker so we'd understand why he wandered off to the wings and stood there. "the Torres is frightened by the ball so its natural inclination is to run away from it" and so on...

Sacha Baron Cohen- He could create a character...maybe like a fat Spanish waiter or something.

Mila Kunis/Kate Upton...etc...-Do I really have to explain this one?

So many possibilities...
