You keep talking up the UEFA Cup (which he hasn't even won yet) like it's some kind of achievement. He's beaten Sparta Prague, Steaua Bucharest, Rubin Kazan and Basel to get to this Final. Any fucking idiot and his sister could beat those teams, especially with that squad Chelsea has. And if you've watched the matches, they came embarrassingly close to being knocked by even several of those shit sides.cityisblue said:MaineRoadM14 said:Crashed out of the League Cup to a mid-table side over 2 legs - FACTcityisblue said:Perfect example of knowledge gained from Sky Sports, Sun, and talk Sport..you stick to your beliefs.Chap..
Lost the Club World Cup Final to some random Brazilian team - FACT
Turned a 4 point deficit in the League into almost 20 - FACT
Couldn't manage to lock down Top 4 with a world class squad until the second to last game of the season - FACT
I know as a Liverpool fan you aren't used to dealing with reality, but open your eyes you blinkered blowhard.
Mate I am not a WUM, I am a football fan and therefore I am not really going to bite to things that you have stated above..that you already know the answers too if you think hard and without prejudice, and any fan with half a football brain will know the reasons above its simple..but while you are talking about FACTS..let me give you couple...
FACT : His winning ratio with the ***** of Chelsea is close to 60% even with the "dodgy results above you state " so if the results had not been dodgy e,g reading, southampton, etc it would be around 70% and above City in the table.
FACT : He has reached his 4th European final in the space of 9 years ( with a near 2 year break) Ferguson achieved 5 with MAN UTD in 26.5 years, and more than mourinho, ancelloti, capello, lippi guardiola, klopp..( The media will not tell you that , he is not mourinho or ferguson.)
FACT: If Chelsea win the UEFA cup, he becomes the first manager in English football history to lead 2 english clubs to european triumph ( The media will not tell you that he is not mourinho or ferguson.) and only the second manager in British football to do so (Ferguson with Aberdeen and Mancs)
FACT : If he wins the UEFA cup tommorow, he becomes only the second manger behind Trapatoni to lead 3 different clubs to european triumphs.
He may not be your cup of tea for City but to make him into this totally inept manager well thats not really fair or acurate. ( Di matteo took charge of 21 matches and players at their freshness, he won 11, lost 6 , drew 4 but that data is skewed he actually won 9 out of his first 13 games, and only 2 out of his next 8, thats why he was fired because the regression started...and the reason they were 4 points behind the 2 manc clubs was Chelsea won 7 out of first 8 league matches compared to city and UTD sluggish start, and then they started hitting form..while rafa has kept Chelsea near enough to the 2 points per game ratio that he found chelsea in ( which was between game 1-8 not game 9-12) 37 games 72 points (-2), if win against Everton then it will be 38 games 75 points (-1) not bad after playing 48 matches in 23 weeks ( 69 overall) !!!
Its all about views....but we should use FACTS...to reflect accurately.
The reality is he's thrown away trophies he should have had in the bag (both lost AWAY from home, so you can forget the 'blame the "toxic" Stamford Bridge atmosphere' garbage you Liverpool fans have been using to explain away all his failures), has a lower points-per-game ratio in the League this season than Di Matteo did (24 from 12 matches - 2 per game, under Di Matteo vs 48 from 25 - 1.92 per game under Benitez), and turned 4 points from top when he took over into almost 20.
And if he cocks it up tonight like he has everything else this season it'll make his tenure there look even more of a disaster than it already is.
