Closed Middlesbrough v Chelsea

[CHOULO19 24,332]

You forgot to mention that those 2 games were at home and we were then under RDM, who played attacking football. Now under Benitez, he's more concern of not losing first than trying to go out and win games from the start.

And that equates to us having to lose against Boro because we have no chance against utd?!

Because doing that, would actually give experience and help the senior players, and the problem with that, is that would actually benefit the club, and obviously Rafa isn't going with that.

Why would the seniors have problems with it ?

May I point out to today´s news ?

Players are playing in too many games, was written.

Time to give Ake an actual chance. He's ready for a championship side with key figures missing. Maybe even let Blackman take goal anything but Turnbull!!

Definitely it's the time for some youngsters here,with these performances i'll be glad with a lose,that's better beacuse we know what we gonna do against United

No but it's just that two different approaches bring out two possible different results.

I don't think we're favorites to beat utd either, but my original point is that we should not just forfeit the match!

Yes but just saying that with Benitez's negative approach, our chance of winning there is extremely low and sometimes, you just can't help but to wonder, why even bother with it?

Why bother? For the same reason we bothered against Napoli, Barcelona and Munich last season..

It was just a thought at the back of the mind FFS! Did I say I outrightly do not bother about it??!!!

You did not but other people were. My original comment was aimed at them.

Rumours are that he just might be after tomorrow's game......................hope, above hope that for once they're true this time.

Yea we all want FSW out...but sacking him now would just make our club even less attractive to any potential managers...

And it's not like we have a decent assistant manager at the club...Steve Holland looks clueless on the bench.

Hope Ake gets some game time, preferably a start.

Two stats...

1. The last time Benitez went to the Riverside Stadium, his Liverpool side suffered a 2-0 defeat to Middlesbrough in 08/09 PL season.

2. Rafa Benitez has never beaten Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium in 5 visits - D3 L2.

[Rmpr 8,977]

I will say......

I TAKE A 5-0 DEFEAT IN ORDER FOR THE FSW TO LEAVE!
