Well, um ... if the club has not deemed it necessary to send him away, then sorry, he has to do his job.

He's not the first person to have a kid be unwell for goodness sake. I'm sure he still has loads of time available to get over there to support his family, even if it might be somewhat inconvenient.

If you guys think it's acceptable for him to come on and start flying about out of frustration at whatever, then that is just ridiculous.

“I have been talking to him, and I will try to help as much as I can, but he has to stay and he has to fight for his position,” said Benitez.

 

“He’s an important player for us. I’ve had this conversation with him before, maybe one month ago or even more, and we decided that he’ll stay. “Is he OK with that? No, not really. At the moment, he’s still thinking that ‘for me and my family, it will be better to go’, but we’re professionals and we have to do what we have to do at the moment and facilitate the situation as much as we can.”

Oh boy ... so what's the circumstances then?

Do we need to start giving these guys paternity leave now too?

Give me a break man. You guys are so soft.

This Maddison kid is going to break into the England team this season. Very talented.

Nice to see Walcott playing under a decent manager again.

Think he'll have a fine season in this Everton team.

Richarlison was apparently really wasteful last season, if Everton can get him to be more efficient he'll be worth the money in the ridiculous world we live in IMO as he's decently creative.

His production under Silva has been outrageous tbf, even at Watford last season.

Richarlison is a stud.

The girl that has had his kid will likely leave him anyway, as this guy is a mega fanny.

Acting out because he wants to go home. What kind of man is this? Do your job you pansy!

A pretty revolting and sorry excuse of the male species.

He won the ball so much, no?! Thought he was good!

This guy is going to be sensational.

Big reason why we still competed so well with 10 men.

Fantastic defensive contribution and just buzzes abou the place when we go forward.

Really good play to get us the penalty at the end too.

Can't wait for him to be in from the start with Rondon.

Also, what happened to his hair? Guy looks like he's going bald overnight.

Never felt he was going to score that penalty man.

I mean he was already having a stinker, and had just taken a horrendous free kick.

Seriously, how is he even allowed to step up there and take that?

At this rate we'll get this kid for 20 pound never mind 20 million.

You just compared that kid to James Perch?!

I'm done.

I saw all that and I saw him win the ball back, committ defenders and skip by them before playing the ball in to forward players. That kid has enormous talent IMO.

You wait till he starts going against teams that aren't Man City and he gets settled in more.

I maintain he was better than every single other Arsenal midfielder out there.

Gini has looked good in the deepest midfield spot for Liverpool. Like him there a lot more in a midfield three.

 

Keita has been fantastic as an all action box to box midfielder with some real quality use of the ball.

 

The options Liverpool have in midfield and upfront are ridiculous.

 

Personally think Gini has looked a bit invisible. Fabinho will walk into that midfield and Milner has impressed me as well. They do have nice depth there though with Henderson, Gini, Milner, Keita and Fabinho.

 

He has, but when you have Keita, Milner playing great and the front 3 he can be invisible tbh. Not that it matters when Henderson and Fabinho are available he'll ride the bench.

I agree with you both.

Was thinking more along the lines of him now actually having some use as a backup in that role.

I had already written him off completely at Liverpool, but now maybe he gets the odd game i that deep role.

I imagine the starting 3 will be Henderson, Fabinho and Keita, which should be fantastic.

Horror debut from Gendouzi.

 

Worst player of the weekend. Looks hoirrrbly out of depth

 

FFS, the kid is 19 and playing his first league game against the best team in the country! Looks very comfortable on the ball and well able to get stuck in.

 

A snip for 7 million. Has bags of potential.

Genuinely can't believe he's being castigated on here.

Thought he was the most confident and brave player on the field for Arsenal. You could see the crowd are already behind him too.

That kid will be a star by the end of the season. And everyone on here will be waxing lyrical about him embarrassingly enough.

Ramsey was trash, as was Ozil, as was Xhaka. He was better than the three of those jokers combined.

Absolutely crazy singling him out.

Playing Hi Ho Silver Lining. Championship craic that.

Ah, okay I think I'm understanding how this works now.

So, because we're disappointed with Ashley criticise everything and hope for the worst?

Not allowed to say Rondo or Muto looked good or that I enjoyed their performances?

Very one dimensional thinking, but At least I get it now. Don't agree though.

Everytime Fulham or any other big spender loses a game I'll certainly be piping up.

It's unbearable when people continuously bitch and moan and expect the worst before games are played. And they would have been all on here doing it again had Fulham got a great result.

Why should they have all the fun? It's ironic how wound up they get when someone with a different opinion does it too.

Something seriously wrong with that.

What's with all the long term predictions based on 90 minutes?

Hmmm ... wonder what would have happened if they were up 3 -0 and Mitro had a double.

Don't be silly.

Like I said. They've signed loads of midfielders and attackers and left they're defence shite.

 

Didn't hear people saying all that a few weeks ago.

 

Now reality is beginning to hit home.

 

Home to Palace losing by 2 and no goals.

You're really going for this worst football poster award like.

Vote away buddy. I don't care about another man's opinion, and I'm comfortable with mine.

I maintained that a lot of these clubs were spending a ton on players but it didn't mean they would better us because we have a great manager.

I'll be proven right.

Seri has been really good for Fulham

Fulham ... lol.
