Throughout his reign so far I have not heard anyone in the media suggest that maybe he is not up to the job, but they place the blame on Benitez' legacy.
Despite the poor season last year on the most point we usually controlled games and kept it relatively tight, hence Pepe sharing the golden gloves conceding least amount of goals, after Man U and Chelsea. With more composure from Beckford and Yakubu it could have been 4 or 5 today.
