The old guard, Frank Lampard and John Terry, as holders dispatched of a resilient Brentford in FA cup replay at the Bridge. After an opener from the talented Mata he provided Lampard’s 199th goal before Terry headed in an 81st minute fourth goal to conjure some cheerless euphoria for the home crowd. With three wins in ten games Benitez has yet to silence the doubtful Chelsea supporters. Benitez will have to improve this ratio in order to fully banish the tag of ‘interim’ manager. This will surely be an insurmountable project with the brooding Chelsea support and the seemingly “toxic” environment at the Bridge left by a smoking gun. The exchanges of the twitter universe suggests an equal, or thereabouts, support for the beleaguered manager but what we need is a total Phoenix resurrection to restore us after the distressing Champions League exit.
