Necessary because losing to the likes of Southampton, Newcastle (relegation candidate at the time), Burnley, Wolves - draws Watford, Brentford.
We all remember Palace, but we lost to Brentford at home the game before after taking the lead twice. The season we were pissing away 2-0 leads to lose to Burnley.
We sacked Benitez 6 points above the drop, and 16th. Lampard come in and didn't improve us, so if we're giving him credit, in reality - he did less than Benitez.
Then in Lampards full season, he left us on our knees - 19th and lowest ever points total in our history going into Feb.
Nice guy, though eh.
