benitez lost 7 league games
hodgson lost 8 league games
hodgson lost 1 league cup tie but unbeaten in europe ,benitez ok was still in the league cup but had lost 3 games in europe , my point is the record both poor but similar .
How is this similar, when Benitez had played at least 2 games more in the EPL? You need to look at games won as well. Benitez made the league cup final - you can only lose one game in that competition so saying one loss to none is "similar" is idiotic (never mind which team Roy lost to). Benitez was also in the CL not the Europa Cup, and didn't have the luxury of looking good by beating a team from Macedonia as a warm-up. You also forgot that Rafa never had us dip below 9th in the EPL, while under Roy it's the highest we've been, and never for long, while having spent time in the relegation zone. Even if those records were the same (and they're not even close) it's easier to support a manager who maintains a standard rather than one who destroys all our standards.
Typical one-eyed view full of bullsh*t. I've come to expect nothing less from you.
