Ba was through on goal and stopped illegally thats why the penalty was given.

Unlike Fernandud who doesnt need to be fouled before he wastes chances like its going out of fashion e.g vs Prague

mithel: but on another look,its true we had a blip under RDM,but still it wasnt this bad , me thinks even the players aint motivated to play for benitez.we all know this boys at their worst aint as bad as they are playing now,losing to the likes of qpr,swansea,newcastle,struggling against brentford,prague,southampton,and many more results ,shows a big problem,the atmosphere at the club us not good at all,fans angry,boos everywhere,banners being banned, discontent youth players who hope not to come back for some time .....we are not okay at all .both on and off the pitch.

damn, even losing under RDM was always intersting in the sense that most of the time we were always just unlucky (man city community shield,man utd at home(clattenburg........)

StarBoard:
It wasn't this bad.
RDM might have made mistakes, but he is not as vastly experienced as Benitez.
But some folks think the fans voicing their displeasure at the hiring of a man who savagely disparaged the club and their fans a while ago are immature and childish (16-minute brigade).
I'm waiting to see where this Banitez experiment leads Chelsea.
I think it would have been better to stick with RDM, if for anything, you had players who were ready to play for him.His point per game ratio still is better than the fat spanish waiter's.

FBS:
Mr debo still thinks Rafa is a greater coach "overall" as if that will make Chelsea folks feel any better.

Like I've always said: Rafa is NO better than RDM! FACT!!!

debosky:

Who said it would make Chelski fans feel better?

That was my opinion based on one coach having less than 1 full season in charge of a club at the top level and the other having multiple years with multiple titles. No be Debosky hire Rafa anyway, so why una dey vex for me?

No one can say for certain that RDM would've achieved better results than RB has done - all we are doing is speculating/projecting. RB has performed worse than RDM points-wise, but who says the early season performances were not a false dawn? The downward trend had already started with RDM, maybe RB accelerated that trend, or maybe he even slowed it down.

RDM-managed Chelski might've been struggling with Stoke for 10th place. All Hail Rafa!!

FBS:
THIS! This is what is REALLY DISTURBING!

i swear,hearing them lukaku,de bryune talk at times scares me, all they want is more loan ,even josh

FBS:
even Courtois sef no wan come back. Really disturbing. But I don't blame those boys at all.

Ibime:
Of course you know Nateevs modus operandi of using grammar to distance himself from previously held positions which are proved foolish. The other day he was using grammar to argue with FBS on the fact that he is not Lampards biggest traducer on this forum. His shapeshifting tire me so I leave him to speak grammar

dayokanu: I told you over a year ago that if you pay attention to what Nateevs yarns here you would see a lot of holes and inconsistencies
His football knowledge is watery at best
What I notice is that he doesnt seem to have any conviction over anything he prefers to sit on the fence and the irony was that he accused FBS of the same thing he is the most guilty of.

coogar: another 90 mins under demba ba's belt, no goals, no assists, no shots on target, no shots off target - but torres is the problem! we can see how ba's presence is working, can't we? torres shoulda scored a hatrick in his cameo appearance but whenever ba misfires for 90mins, rafa benitez is the problem.

El Guapo:

Oh Man can U plz try taking a breather off this thread Plzzz?


Why would U allow Sentiments to Shroud ya Every Posts? Cant U be Objective for One Phucking Second?

U Give me the Demons wiv Ur Cynical analysis!

If BA's Performance was that Lethargic, why would he last till the 80mins of the game?
If Torres has Been better, why wouldn't he be In the Starting XI?

Some Niggers Claim to know it when its obvious they're Still Learners! SMH

StarBoard:
Monsieur debo,
True we can't say conclusively if RDM would have done better if left to continue.
But in the light of the current circumstances, I'm pretty sure he would have gotten better output from some of these players who just loafed all through the game yesterday.

The downward trend may have (and I stress the word "may" ) begun with RDM but he should have given the opportunity to try to steer the ship back to it's proper course.

Rafa Benitez has not done so. His results are so herky-jerky, you don't know which Chelsea side will show up for the next game. Benitez has this air of arrogance that really alienates himself from the fans. He has not bothered to wave the olive branch to the Stamford bridge faithful. He carries himself with this pompousity that I find strange given that he hasn't done anything of note since a flukey FA Cup win (on penalties as usual).

Now yesterday's performance was as soulless as anything can be.His selections and substitutions as well as his defiant attitude to sticking to 4-2-3-1 even when it isn't working makes me wonder why he was hired to replace last season's FA and Champions League winner (all in the space of four months,by the way).Especially since the club felt they needed someone to "improve"the club's performance.

Now can you honestly say that that has been Chelsea's lot since he came on board? If no, then allow us to speculate and conjecture all we want.
We the fans will always point to the fact that Chelsea were 4 points off the lead when he took over and now he has manged to balloon the deficit to 19, almost five times the size it was when he took over. And that, my friend is as damning as it comes when the issue of whether RDM deserved to be sacked/replaced with Benitez or not comes up.

dayokanu: LOLstatic comments

Mourinho is now the reason Benitez cant win games?

No one can tell us why RDM winning percentages are wayyy better than Rafa benitez

jackbauersballs: It has become obvious that strikers cannot succeed at Chelsea. With the exception of Moses, Chelsea have no natural wingers.

Mazacar tend to drift inside too much meaning that the space Torres/Ba should naturally operate in gets choked....

Just a thought, but how about trying the 4-6-0 a la Spain at the Euros?

coogar: the same di matteo lost to newcastle at stamford bridge last season. where's this myth coming from that di matteo is the dog's bollocks? didn't he lose to west brom before he was sacked as well?

coogar: he had that opportunity last season - chelsea could only finish 6th. then came this season and he was given the funds to buy oscar, hazard, etc. he impressed at the start of the season but then the performance level declined under his watch and he crashed chelsea out of the champions league[b](roman's most prized football competition)[/b]

coogar: benitez will never be loved by chelsea fans. they booed him from the very first day because of the things he said about chelsea in the past. so forget winning over the fans. what's benitez meant to do? visit every fan privately to beg for their love? did benitez hire himself? if the chelsea faithful don't like him, why not stage a protest against their owner?

coogar: the players chelsea bought in the last 18 months were brought in to fix into 4-2-3-1. benitez didn't start playing 4-2-3-1, it started under di matteo. villas-boas alternated the formation with 4-3-3 and it rarely worked when he kept playing mata as a winger. it's true that di matteo won the champions league n fa cup last season - it's also true he lost scandalously to athletico in the super cup and crashed chelsea out of the group stage of the champions league.

coogar: this is hilarious......
if another manager had taken over man city when united and city were neck and neck, we would be writing the same thing that the new manager is clueless and mancini would never have allowed united to be 12 points ahead. the league have been poor this season and it's not only in england, spain and germany are experiencing the same as well. would you ever believe jose mourinho's team can sit 16 odd points below a rival team in any league? benitez is not the reason chelsea are where they are - it's just what it is in the major leagues in europe.

Mourinho Is? Baseless Analysis

Until u understand that Rafa is not good with Healthy challenges, u'd remain bottled in ur world of 'Vendor Stand' taunts!

Lost to Newcastle on what Circumstance? U could also count that we lost disgracefully at anfield, who wasn't aware we had a Crucial final to play? Pfft.
Losing to Albion was a far cry to RDM's fault, we had Sturridge & co wasting chances on dat day and a very erratic defense line on show.

''Roman's most prized football competition"
Do u still use those choice of words after we had Won it? U simply dont know a dot about Chelsea!

There's more to been called a Shrewd Manager, a man that makes the right call at the right time.
Am sure the Blue faithfuls would have buried the past if that fat Spanish homo had apologised about his Past comments buh he never Did!

Cant u find much berra excuses for ur homo pal Rafa? Players bought for a particular formation? Laughable.
Only if u can bring up references where such thoughts were shared, then i could pay a hearing ear to ur Bollocks - Chelsea only brought in certain players that would usher in the kinda football the Owner wanted to see. U still dont know a dot about Cfc!

coogar:

these excuses are wearing thin!
chelsea aren't the first team to pursue 2 titles at the same time. teams have won the treble in the past! the excuses that di matteo lost those games because of the munich game is laughable. what was the excuse to lose the super cup against athletico madrid? what was the excuse when he crashed out of the champions league? you don't have enough wisdom!




that chelsea won it once does not mean roman does not want to win it again. the taste of victory is sweet. why do you think other big clubs in europe are all dying to win it again and again? roman would have hoped to build on the success of last season by winning it again.......reasons why he spent money to recruit quality players in the summer.



chelsea fans must be fickle-minded to care about rafa's comments.
when he made those statements, liverpool were his employers - they paid his wages and surely his allegiance must be with his employers. every manager does what is in the interest of the club they manage. if that is what is pissing off chelsea fans then the club have no class.



makes me laugh when a tool like yourself who has never been to chelsea to watch their game can accuse another that he knows nothing about chelsea. why would chelsea sign mata, oscar and hazard if the intention isn't to play them as a roaming 3 behind torres? which of them is a traditional winger in the of nani/valencia/young? your football knowledge is so little, i can write everything you know about the game on a plastic button.




rafa is not good - i was the first to mention that when he was hired however, di matteo is not better than benitez. you tools are just using hindsight analysis to forge your points home. there's no empirical evidence that di matteo would have done better in the same circumstance. blimey, he finished 6th last season.......so pack it in and stop exhibiting the traits known to rhesus monkeys. your football horse sense is in the pits!

I'd bet no Prudent manager who's already out of the title race would attach too much Importance to Such game with an inexcusable final on Mind - Wondering how Voluminous ur Wisdom is

I'd only be a dimwit to tell u that Roman is contempted with Munich's heroics, he wants more sure but not Cravey Mad like before, so its no longer his 'Most prized Silverware' - If we keep winning the League for the next 3 Seasons, do u think the gaffer incharge would get the axe cos of not winning UCL? I mean it when i say u know no dot bout Us!

Guy we typically prefer that our wingers drive
towards the penalty box with the ball at their feet rather than
indulge in crossing-despite having a figure like Drogba in our Disposal then.
Why all of a Sudden shop for Navas and Downing kinda players? I repeat, we only went to get the tiki-taka materials - Lest u forget, Pep's arrival was envisaged!

Can someone help me tell this Fella that we're 19 points adrift of the title, lost the World club cup, lost out in the Carling cup and could miss Out on 3rd Place!

coogar: rafa should be judged after a full season.
