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 .
Utter drivel.
After 19 games in 04/05, we had a record of 9-3-6, with a goal difference of +13, and were lying 6th in the table, 17 points away from the relegation zone. This season it's 7-4-8, a goal difference of -1, and ninth in the table, 6 points off the relegation zone.
In the League Cup, Roy has overseen 1 game, against Northampton Town, which he lost. In 04/05 we'd seen off Millwall, Middlesbrough, and Spurs at this stage.
I'm sorry, but those are not 'poor but similar' records. One of those is clearly significantly better. And it's not Roy's.
