Who's defending Benitez ? Im certainly not he didn't do a good enough job hence he was sacked same as Lampard.
The difference is Benitez left us 4 points above the bottom 3 - within half a season with Richarlison up top Lampard some how took us 5 points behind 18th Burnley and left us this season with just 3 wins in 20 games.
Yet you never talk about that its all Benitez and Thelwell's fault...
Just out of curiosity can you please answer the following:
Who sold our creative outlets?
Who demanded full power over transfers?
Who defied medical advice and rushed DCL back?
Who failed to sign a suitable backup to DCL after having 5 months to identify one?
Who sold Richarlison and replaced him McNeil?
Who thought Neal Maupay would fit into a system whereby we use a big CF?
Who allowed us to start the season with no recognised Centre Forward?
Who failed to sign ONE player in January, when were the second lowest goal scoring team in the entire league?
Who sold Anthony Gordon and don’t buy a replacement, even though we needed another 2 wingers with a threat on top of Gordon?
All those decisions have put us in this place. Nothing else.
