Rondon should have been off for Gbamin!

Actually that might have made sense, if he'd replaced Rondon after 75 minutes Gbamin might have strengthened the midfield. Of course it's equally likely he'd have pulled a muscle getting his shinpads on.

He had to do something Watford were playing through us easily

Man of the match for me................not saying he was great he was far from it but compared to the others Yes

 

[GoodisonRoadSupperBarWool]

He tried and looked to be direct and wanted to beat a man. Unlike the other crock of poo he was surrounded by.

 

[catcherintherye]

Thought he had another really good game, and the 1 of the few positives today.

 

[Paulie]

Picked the ball up, looked up, has awarenesses when to check back, passed it and moved into space. I thought he was our best player today.

Done good la

I hope his confidence isn’t affected by being substituted and the harsh and completely unnecessary words of his manager trying to shift blame from himself after the game. Keep your head up lad, you are one of the beacons of light in this event horizon.

What did he say about him?

Bit odd to see Benitez after the game saying he took him off because he doesn’t have 90 minutes in his legs at Premiership level at the moment. That may or may not be true but when you have Rondon upfront who doesn’t look like he has 5 minutes of premiership football in his legs and he stays on for 90 minutes then as explanations go, it doesn’t make much sense.

Maybe it was the only right thing that that manager can do.
This kid didn't deserve to lose this game lol

Threw him under the bus to defend himself. Embarrassing comments from a manager. The fact he wasnt challenged on it in the interview was laughable
