Jase 43,479 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I felt like he did let reporters have it after the ballboy ("boy") incident. I felt he did defend Chelsea FC and justified Hazard's actions, trying to defend him. No, he did not. Benitez only had a go at the reporters/journalists because they kept on asking him the same questions in the press conference after that game. Otherwise, he said this then.. "I didn't see the incident from the bench, but afterwards the boy came in to talk to Hazard, and both apologised to each other," Benitez told Sky Sports."The boy knows he was wasting time, Hazard was frustrated because he wanted to get the ball back. They apologised, they made a mistake, and that's it."We're disappointed because we lost a player but the best thing is to move forward."Source - http://www.espn.co.uk/football/sport/story/189884.html TBF, he did try to draw a line on the incident after the game (OR he was just trying to take himself out of the firing line) but subesequently, when you see some other managers, journalists and/or pundits condemning the ball boy and defend Hazard, you do wonder what was Benitez doing and this is not even taking into account of his Wenger impersonation "I didn't see it". The only defending, if you like or can call it that, was that he said he will appeal against the FA charges if they ban Hazard for more than 3 games and even then it was because he is a key player for us and didn't want to lose him.

Barbara 15,149 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 well this morning I was cheering for Arsenal, now I'm cheering for City win all their remaining matches, starting today.Anything but Liverpool winning it. Not that I think City will lose it, but I hope they really win it. They're the best team of the league. Let's keep our unbeatable run against the top teams and at least draw with Liverpool at Anfield, but our title chances just died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But did you put us at the top of the table? No, the manager and the players did. If they couldn't sustain it, it doesn't make them a failure, it makes the team limited - as Mourinho said it was (as well as many of us) from the beginning. Yeah, WE lost the title with two ridiculous losses. But we had matches like that way more often in the previous years and this season the last two away matches weren't the only ones.Mourinho made several mistakes today imo, but our inability to play tight defenses isn't something new.But my point is, I don't get how people blame Jose and the players for something that wasn't even in the books for us this season, but that they unexpectedly put us there... we don't have strikers, and still we were in the fight until the end. That's quite the accomplishment. Jose would have made Liverpool the champion with a comfortable lead at this stage or a better partner for Eto'o would have made us champions. Nothing will change that imo, but it's unfair to blame the people who made it possible in the first place to lose it. We were never ready.

Win our last 7 games and see what happens. Then, we only need City to drop (at least 4) points.Now, we need Liverpool to drop points as well (at least 3) and City to drop 7 points!

Nothing will change that imo, but it's unfair to blame the people who made it possible in the first place to lose it. We were never ready.So did no one expect Chelsea to win the league? I did. It was a 2 team race( so i thought) at the beginning of the year. This year would be a failure considering we have the best manager, and good players everywhere but ST. And one of the best young players in the world. Limited is abase nice way of putting it. Chelsea is collapsing. Just cause we didn't lose as much as last year its a success? Umm, i dont think so. I didn't want Chelsea to finish 2nd, 3rd or 4th. I wanted them to finish first. They obviously can play for the title and should win, they have beat the top teams all year. Just cause YOU didn't expect them to win the title, they had it and blew it. They are definitely to blame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
