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?

Redknapp was available at the time...

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 :Goober:

Several Spanish outlets reporting that Pep Guardiola will be offered a salary of €22m per year and total control #CFC pic.twitter.com/JNk9cQ9Z

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.

& yet again, when he does choose to play his best team in a potentially tough game, we come out on top. I don't know what he has against Oscar & Marin exactly, starting Betrand instead of either of them was the only questionable call he made, but many of our players showed up with their A-game today so it was proved to be ultimately irrelevant.

Even I give Rafa credit where credit is due; today, his team selection was good & the players he picked did the rest.

However the issue is whether he is going to revert back to pointless & naive rotation-minded decisions, or finally understand that this isn't Liverpool anymore where a top 4 finish is a luxury rather than an absolute necessity.

Luckily the Southampton game is going to be a good opportunity to rest any tired legs if the FA Cup tie was anything to go by, but he simply must learn from recent results & start with as strong a line up as possible (i.e. Torres on the bench).

& he just cannot afford to make any unnecessary rotations against Arsenal - that is what I'm really worried about right now...

A funny article from goal.com

Benitez getting his own back He came. He got booed. He's had enough.

Like a fed-up mother withdrawing her son's Playstation controller until he does his maths homework, Rafa Benitez is punishing Chelsea's fans for their recent behaviour.

Until they buck their ideas up and show some respect, the team will not be putting in good performances at home.

However, they will continue battering teams on the road, just to show everyone at Stamford Bridge what they're missing out on.

If the Blues' fans want Eden Hazard playing well at the Bridge, they will be nice to Benitez, maybe sing a song about how he's going to win them lots of trophies and stop wittering on about Roberto Di Matteo.

The fans will have a chance to prove they've learnt their lesson against Southampton on Wednesday, but if their behaviour does not improve, Rafa will have no choice but to let Arsenal win in west London next weekend.

Shed End. You've been warned.
