Nice job today Rafa.

[The only place to be 11,313]

I wonder if he's going to get some credit today? Everton's a tough place to go and we ground out a result, and we looked pretty secure towards the end.

That Liverpool fan did say he knows how to beat Everton

[Tomo 21,751]

Fuck it im just going to go out and say it.

Give him the job.

RUN!!!!!!!!!!!

Too early to even suggest something like that, but fair play for putting your cock on the block.

Too soon. If he can get us top 3 by the end of the season and a trophy or 2, then I'm sure he will get it.

Its not even the results, i done a bit of reserch and actually listened to what good Liverpool fans had to say about him.

What is swinging it for me is the work he did at the academy in Liverpool.

Interim managers certainly do quite well at this club.

Probably not even then. It will depend on who else is available. And RDM had us top-3 and in the running for 3 trophies and he got fired, so don't see why the same results would get Rafa a new contract. Only way, he gets hired full-time is if Roman's preferred targets don't want to come and Chelsea finish brilliantly (say, top-2 and win the Europa League).

That's one of the things I've heard good things about.

Also, I broke down his transfers in the first four years at Liverpool (after which his relationship with the board started to have effects on the pitch) earlier in this thread and he's not got a noticeably bad record in that regard. In fact his signings still make up the heart of that team (Reina, Agger, Skrtl, Lucas).

Rafa Benitez's record now in all competitions at Chelsea - P11 W7 D2 L2. Have won 7 of the last 8.

In the Premier League - P7 W4 D2 L1. Have won the last 4.

Link?

I love how he makes the team fight for the ball whenever we lose it.

[Hutcho 8,443]

He's never gonna be the most popular man at the bridge but he is doing well and we are winning and playing well. Which is all he can do do as a manager. He does have to get credit for finally initiating the Luiz to midfield thing.
