Don't think he deserves all this hate tbh

He doesn't deserve whatever he gets paid either.

 

[God Benfrey]

He doesn't deserve whatever he gets paid either.

You could say that about 90% of this squad aswell

I imagine he sits counting his money rather than logging on to G.O.T of an evening, so it doesn’t really matter.

Oh look, another £70m cock end.

Any need for this? Rondon is crap, wake up.

True but booing him off I don't really understand

Did that happen today? Couldn’t tell.

 

[Kurt.]

They weren’t booing him… they were trying to scare him to see if they could get a response out of his lifeless body

It was more

Boo !!

Than boooooo

Again, I feel sorry for him. Not his fault his manager is hanging him out to dry. He’s crap, we know it and he knows it. I feel all’s we can do now is back him and hope for some sort of reaction.

It's more booing what he represents, Benitez's stubbornness.

Yeah, would agree with this summary. Different details but not entirely dissimilar to the Coleman situation.

Agree with you mate. You can tell he is trying. He's just way past it.

If I was offered 30 or 40k per week knowing that my legs have gone and having played almost non-competitive football in china for 2 years, I would sign up in a heartbeat, so no blame attached to Rondon here.
But watching him with his socks rolled down for most of the second half and extra time, losing every ball in the air and losing possession every time the ball was played to him, and reacting so slowly when the ball was squared to him on the 6 yard line, and being too tired to close down the hull defenders, you wonder how on earth he stayed on the pitch for most of the 120 minutes.
He will not get any better, but Benitez will still make him our 1st choice forward with DCL and Richi unavailable, despite all evidence showing that it is a waste of time.

Tosun looked razor sharp in comparison.
