There's really no getting around the simple fact that results since Rafa Benitez was named the manager at Chelsea have been a step in the wrong direction. There have been a couple of very good games, but in general Chelsea have been poor and look to have regressed from the beginning of the season. Here are the results of every one of Rafa's games in charge, in order:
- 0-0 draw with Manchester City
- 0-0 draw with Fulham
- 3-1 loss to West Ham
- 6-1 win over FC Nordsjaelland
- 3-1 win over Sunderland
- 3-1 win over Monterrey
- 1-0 loss to Corinthians
- 5-1 win over Leeds
- 8-0 win over Aston Villa
- 1-0 win over Norwich City
- 2-1 win over Everton
- 1-0 loss to QPR
- 5-1 win over Southampton
- 2-0 loss to Swansea City
- 4-0 win over Stoke City
- 2-2 draw with Southampton
- 2-1 win over Arsenal
- 0-0 draw with Swansea
- 2-2 draw with Brentford
- 2-2 draw with Reading
- 3-2 loss to Newcastle
There are obviously factors beyond just the results on the pitch to consider here, such as the reaction of the fans, players, and other potential managers to yet another sacking. Let's suppose for the moment that you were on the Chelsea board though, what exactly would you do about Rafa Benitez? I'm genuinely curious to see how most fans would deal with this situation, as it really is quite the mess. Vote in the poll, and discuss in the comments section, but be mindful that everyone is entitled to their opinions and the discussion of them needs to remain respectful.
