8-0. Told you so Lambert isn't that good. Glad we have Moyes. I remembered someone said we should get rid of Moyes and replaced him with Lambert.

think it's to do with the team rather than the manager - he's still a good coach imo. he's working with a squad who i'd only hear of about 4 of them at season's start

Great win but credit to the interim manager?
Nope. Not a chance. If anything it proves that Abramovich acted in haste when he sacked Robbie Di Matteo. We were going through a bad patch - as we do every season. That bad patch was actually worsened and extended by the appointment of the interim manager. No way would Robbie have put out such a defensive side against Fulham in particular, who were there for the taking, and remain so, as their subsequent results have shown.
While it's true that there are no guarantees in football, a below strength Fulham side at home was as close to a guaranteed three points as you could possibly get. There's no way I can prove it of course, but had Robbie remained in charge, I'm quite sure that the bad patch would have ended sooner.
So far under the interim manager, we've beaten no-one of any quality. Relegation candidates Sunderland, bottom half of the Championship Leeds, and an inexperienced Norwegian side in the Champions League.
And today Villa were poor. Their win at Anfield actually did us a favour, as they came here full of what turned out to be false confidence.
Ok you can only beat what's in front of you. But they offered very little in front of goal. Our goals, the first was a once a season (if you're lucky) header from Torres, the second a David Luiz special. We know he has that in his locker so no credit to the interim manager there, and the third well and truly wrapped the game up, knocking what stuffing there was left out of Villa. And Frank's fourth was what Frank Lampard's been doing throught his Chelsea career, so no credit to the interim manager there either.
Nice to see Piazon not only get a bit of playing time, but making an impact when he set up Ramires for the fifth. By this time Villa were dead and buried, and so it was no surprise to see the fresh legs of Piazon and Ramires making an impact. Nailed on penalty for the sixth, nicely put away by Oscar. Do I give credit for bringing on Piazon? No, because it's what anyone of us would have done, not only today but against Leeds. Hazard's seventh was a very nicely worked goal, rubbing further salt into the wounds. Ramires' second of the day, again can be put down to Villa being thoroughly demoralised., fresh exuberant legs against a team who couldn't wait to get off the park.
If I sound churlish, then that's not my intention, which is to show that in replacing Robbie, the board acted needlessly and in haste. In short, it was a panic decision and in my opinion we've actually got a lower points total now than we would had Robbie still been in charge.

Yep, he would win the title and they would still say it was down to di matteo but to be fair to Rafael, i thought the team under matteo was boring and didnt think he was getting the best out of the players he had.
I hate to say it but i think Benitez is pretty damn good at getting performances from his players on the pitch. The downside is he's a massive, MASSIVE bel end.
