WhoScored - Rafa Benitez has been fighting an uphill battle at Stamford Bridge ever since his appointment as interim manager back in November, his affiliation with Liverpool simply too much for many fans to overcome. Results echoed these problems, with away performances and results significantly better than in front of their increasingly frustrated and unhelpful home crowd. Following an away defeat to West Ham, Benitez oversaw 6 straight wins on the road in all competitions, whilst at home he won only 2 of his first 7 games in charge. Few would argue that there has been much, if any, improvement since Roberto Di Matteo was replaced, and the stats agree.
