2017/18 Beni Baningime

[KaiserEFC]

Well at least we’re seeing him again, maybe Vlasic will be next? lol

 

[mkrudden]

Still yet to see anything worthy of 39 pages or words. He's bright, he's brave. Like any player just getting into the first team.

He passes sideways because it's easy. And good on him, feeling his way into playing PL football.

Looks about half the prospect that Davies did in his first season. And now people think he's guff.

Just because the answer isn't Schneiderlin, doesn't mean it is this young lad (yet).

Very true. I like Beni, and he’s shown up well in his early years at u18/23 but he rarely looks outstanding at U23s level , then I remember that Davies was the same two years ago and then managed a rapid step up to PL level that his peers like Ledson and Walsh didn’t. I’m thinking Beni will be the same and will look good in any PL mins he gets for us as he has the ability to follow the plan he’s told to, keep it simple and don’t go too far up the pitch. Then it’s also about us giving him time to develop and seeing if he’s going to be good enough.

Needs to learn the forward pass. Too many youngsters coming through in football now thinking you’re a good player if you just sit deep and pass it sideways to keep possession.

Both of you spot on here.

I’ll be honest and admit I haven’t seen much of the lad , but what I’ve seen is someone who plays it very safe.
Maybe that’s what he’s been told to do but if you compare him to McTominay or Foden he’s way behind in his forward play

 

[KaiserEFC]

The issue here is that we’re expecting a defensive midfielder to magically become a playmaker. That’s not his job, hes good at what he does, just needs a playmaker next to him to lay the ball off to.

 

[Pabbers]

Boooo, cant beleive he is not as good as Busquets and Makalele, who does he think he is....we deserve the best. Sack him.

I would imagine Beni, Davies and Dowell would be a well balanced combo. They must have all played together at some point?

Honestly mate, I don't expect him to create. I don't expect anything of him right now, just a few games into his career.

But lots in this place seem to think he's the next breakthrough star. And currently I just don't see how.

He made one good tackle vs Chelsea. Any others?

He'll be anchoring our championship winning midfield of 21/22 alongside Davies, Dowell, Lookman and Vlasic (or something).

Welp Beni it was fun while it lasted.

You've clearly not shown enough in the 171 minutes of Premier League you've played.

It's been real. RIP.

That if you look at the record of BFS could well be the instruction!

Not all midfielders are on the pitch to play the ball forwards. Many different roles these days. Obv never that calibre but Busquets isn't exactly an attacking CM god is he?
