Of course Moshiri is backing him,
An utterly useless bellend of an owner is backing a an utterly useless bellend of a manager.
Whole situation has a certain elegance don’t you think?

It’s horrible mate I agree. But my point is we’re stuck with it and have to just accept it and hope we can turn it around with some positive results.

No i don't. I'm open minded.

I had no issue with him dropping Digne because his form had dropped off. I have a big issue with then ostracising him entirely to the point where he preferred Coleman as a left wing back. It was an act of self harm. It was a disgrace and hes not fit to manage us.

The club comes first. End of story.

And what if he'd have got injured? He's our transfer budget for this month and we've already started spending it.

I will agree Coleman was a bad choice and Godfrey should have played there in a back 4.

Simple question for the Benitez true believers - are we worse now than we were under the snake Carlo, with largely the same squad of players - yes or no?

Answer honestly and you know what needs to happen - the manager who should never have been appointed by our club should be sacked.

Standing still whilst all around improve can also make you worse.

Do you actually watch games?

Yes, the squad is full of crocks & losers, but the players we fielded against Palace & Brighton, to name just 2 games, should be good enough to win those games.

They look lost. Like they’ve never met each other. That‘s down to Benitez.

Should never have been appointed & needs to go now.

He is a passionate Blue who follows them home and away from a pretty long distance. Definitely a loyal fan.

Oh I'm no fan of Terry but he was a top defender. I find it hard to imagine he wasnt fully committed etc. You don't win what he won without being extremely driven

I know what you mean, I expect he did train well too, however I can also see how Terry would be too big an individual personality for Tapastits and his ego. Terry was getting to the end and I do wonder whether Abramovic knew that too and was quite happy for Benitez to manage him into a bit part role.
Interesting take here from Demba Ba,
www.football365.com

Chelsea revival was once sparked by Terry confronting Benitez after defeat

John Terry took it upon himself to challenge Rafael Benitez over training and the Spaniard did not lose a single Chelsea game thereafter.

What riddle nonsense are you chatting here - answer the question I posed?

Same squad won't fair the same when all others have improved.

So to answer your question yes it is doing worse but ONE of the reasons being we have stood still whilst others are arguably better.

It's still hard to judge when we haven't been able to play the same players though (DCL, Gylfi, Mina) for long periods.

After 6 months in charge which isn’t a short timeframe in most jobs especially football management.

If you want to keep him what is your timeline to keep him if poor results continue?

What things has he improved in the 6 months that make you confident that time will be put to productive use?
