It is not like we had an important game several days later. We have a FA cup game against Southampton at the weekend and he decides to rest Mata/Hazard/Cole, when we are pretty much in a title race (were) if we would pick up the 3 points. Now we lose at home, to our fucking rivals! Because we couldn't "unlock" the door due to our best creative players sat on the bench until the 70th minute! No one ever said he was a hero >.< just that he sorted out tactical problems we had, the game against proved that on our day we can still play and beat the best anywhere. Last night showed us that Benitez way under estimated QPR, who were scrapping for their lives at the bottom of the league, playing 11 men in their own half for 95% of the game, and not even a striker on the pitch. Over reaction? I think not, it just sums up our season, we are turning into an inconssistant Liverpool under Rafa, when we look to have turned the corner and look to be playing well, we have a huge hiccup. Go on that nice run of wins after losing away to west ham, to lose the world club cup final. Go on a nice run after that, to lose to QPR at home. It's silly! Atleast now Chelsea have signed a striker, so Mr Torres can sit on the bench for a few dozen games and we can actually score goals now!

So much for wanting a new challenge after not getting frequent starts at Old Trafford =/ As far as i know, he is one of the players Harry talks about, as being on a big wage, doing absolutely nothing for the club. | ||

These players haven't played long together have they? They have potential but when you constantly sub around your manager and you don't really have a certain way of playing as club culture (like at Ajax, Barcelona, Arsenal, Man U for example) from the youth academy and up, results are never gonna be what you expect them to be. Oh and the games I've seen from Chelsea, Torres played very well most games. Just unlucky in front of goal but he's a great asset in the whole attacking game of Chelsea. Combines well, sets up other players and does pose a threat in front of goal. Just seems like you have too high expectations for a club that's run by a retard with a lot of money. | ||

Though that probably says more about the transfer fee than it does about the player. | ||

The only new players we have are Oscar/Hazard/Moses/Marin - they joined the club this summer, Mata, has been here for a season in his 2nd season, he has proved how good he is. Torres has been here 2 seasons and has proved to be the worst peice of buisness in football history (whether or not you rate him on how he plays generally or if you rate him for goals). We have great attacking midfielders, but we lack a striker to finish off the chances you have. If your midfield plays bad, you need you striker to do something special to win you the game, like RVP did for Arsenal, or does for Man Utd, like Messi for Barcelona etcetcetc. We have not had that since Drogba, we replaced him with Torres and that has not proved any help. You could probably put many decent strikers in Chelsea's team and with the front 3 (whoever is chosen) behind them, they would have ample of chances to score goals, and would take them. Take the Demba Ba signing, he will love playing in front of our attacking/creative midfield and he will get so much service, and im sure he will keep Torres on the bench for a long while (until the summer when he will leave and Falcao comes in). Torres looked to "come back into some form" over the last few months, but the goals he has scored and the oppositions he scored against has not done anything to change his critic's minds. When Chelsea need him the most (unlike Drogba) he goes into hiding it seems, yesterday he was fucking shite!! He had a half volley 4 yards out and he hit it straight at Cesar. A 50million striker should not be hitting a half volley, 4 yards out straight at the keeper. Thats what frustrates any Chelsea fan. Benitez is a great manager tactically, but yesterdays "timing" on resting players was probably his worst peice of management in a long time. He must of clearly mistaken what kind of game Chelsea vs QPR is (it's our next door neighbours ffs!) and will feel the wrath of the Chelsea fans because of it. If Mata comes on at 50/60th minute, Chelsea could of still went on to win that, instead if takes to 73-76 minute to bring him on! Hazard is sat on the bench after being rested in the Norwich game (game before Everton) The only person he did not rest was Lamps, which he could of done as you could argue that 2 games in less than a week might be a bit to much for Lamps. Bizzard selection policy when you have an FA cup game coming on the weekend and then a semi final first leg in the carling cup the following week (weds) to rest players in the league game made no sense! Consistancy has no place in the discussion if your best players aren't playing? No one says Man Utd are inconsistant when they lose Champions League games at home to Galatasaray...it's because they had the reserves out! /rant off | ||

While its understandable and I certainly expected them to have some trouble once the freshness of the signings wore off, it doesnt help that your only (literally Only) striker is incosistent. That having been said Benitez is atleast a manager. RDM was not a manager to me, he has more the qualities of a motivational speaker and then basically said "go win" and they did it for a while till teams figured them out to some degree and then even more. Thats where being able to execute game plans comes in as a team. 1) It will take time to figure those things out because the core of this team upfront is used to having their way playing freestyle. They will need to learn to be tactically more astute and with some experience theyll start winning those games. 2) They really do need that striker that can win you games by himself sometimes. Every top team needs that. Torres has been much better this season but nowhere near what a team challenging for honors needs. As for the QPR game. I think it was just a case of underestimating and then not responding. Granted I dont blame him for resting his players because Hazard is used to his 2 weeks off and that makes a huge psychological and physical different o players when they move to England. Honestly I never really expected anyone to be in the mix cept City and United this season. EPL always flatters to deceive but we always can tell its United +1 at the table. | ||
