Poll: Was Chelsea fans' reaction to new manager Rafael Benitez at Stamford Bridge justified? In what was not the easiest of opening fixtures, Chelsea drew 0-0 with champions Manchester City, a result which leaves them fourth in the table and a point behind West Bromwich Albion. After the match, Benitez claimed he had not heard the abuse that was directed at him in protest at his appointment to succeed Roberto Di Matteo, who was fired despite leading the club to Champions League glory in May. There was also clear support for Di Matteo being sung by fans throughout the match as well as banners reading "In Roberto we trusted and loved, in Rafa we will never trust, fact." Chelsea fans made it clear they would never accept Benitez, who is acting as the club's interim manager, while Roman Abramovich awaits Pep Guardiola to finish his sabbatical. While the hostility towards the Spaniard was clear from every corner of the stadium, the fact that this was Chelsea's first clean-sheet in 11 matches may have been overlooked. That fact however is unlikely to compensate that the 0-0 draw was also the first time they have failed to score at home sine May. So was Chelsea's treatment of Benitez yesterday justified? Is it a reaction one should expect when replacing a manager the fans seemed to like yet the owner didn't? Or should Chelsea fans be directing their discontent towards the man at the top, Mr Abramovich?
