Boos aswell by the sounds of things.

niallo27

It doesn't look right him sitting on that bench.

hots

Lots of RDM chants but no boos... I don't mind that, apparently a minutes applause at 16 too.

"Fuck off Benitez, you're not wanted here."

Not happy bunnies at the Bridge.

Sorry but what C*nts

A couple of wins by Rafa and they'd end up shutting up fairly promptly.

BBC Sport's Chief Football Writer Phil McNulty at Stamford Bridge:

"Never heard such a hostile reception for a new manager as the one just given to Rafael Benitez by Chelsea's fans before kick-off. Prolonged booing and there have already been some abusive chants during the opening minutes.

"Stamford Bridge's PA announcer had to raise his voice above the jeers to announce a minute's applause for former Chelsea manager Dave Sexton, who has passed away."

Classy stuff

Wonder which version of Yaya Toure will turn up today. He's been a shadow of himself last few weeks in my opinion.

Xavi6

"Rafa Out" signs in the corner there. It's all very cringeworthy.

Turtyturd

Wonder if they handed out those plastic 'Rafa Out' signs before kick off.

LOL, Chelsea fans with RAFA OUT banners :pac:

15 mins into his managerial career....

Luckycharms_74

Fcuking idiot Chelsea fans. See them there with their "rafa out" posters. WTF get behind the manager FFS.

Turtyturd

Rafa could actually pick up 3 million for 90 minutes work.

Panthro

Nice touch with the applause for RDM.

Will I Amnt

Roy Hodgson.

Xavi6

Hard to believe Nastasic is only 19.

Exactly just like Hodgson and Liverpool:D

niallo27

Shouldn't the Chelsea fans be directing their anger at their Russian owner rather than Rafa, it was him who sacked Di Matteo.

That would require thought..

niallo27

What's this bollox about Hodgson, there were no banners for his first game, no abusive chants, he got great support at the start.

What age are you ffs

You're obsessed with Liverpool

We are talking about this match

PhlegmyMoses

Never knew how hated Benitez was by Chelsea. Always thought it was United fans who would have disliked him. To boo your new manager like that before he has even got through a game is unheard of.

Xavi6

All that's missing here is a disgruntled fan throwing his season ticket at Benitez.

Precision required then.

BBC Sport's Chief Football Writer Phil McNulty at Stamford Bridge:

"More abusive chanting aimed at Benitez from Chelsea's fans - real hostility."

Nope, just pointing out some more hypocrisy, as usual you try and deflect with saying it's nothing to do with this thread.
People in glass houses and all that.

Jax Teller

Everyone one of them long balls Luiz plays out of defence they're losing and been caught on the counter .

But he is funny

Hank Scorpio

shoot Mata ffs!

Knex*

Luiz was immense at left back against Liverpool a few years back when with Benfica. Wonder would Chelsea be better off just playing him at fullback and leave Ivanovic and Cahill/Terry in the center.

The guy just wants to run the pitch everytime he gets the ball.

Panthro

The passing has been absolutely woeful from Chelsea.

Sloppy stuff so far

joe123

Can someone pm me with a link that isnt stopping and starting every second?

The_Kew_Tour

I have seen better U12 games then this

niallo27

City at 9/5 look a good bet, they are much the better side so far.
