They mentioned it on the commentary a few times. Needs to check his run until the midfielder or attacking player in front of him has control of the ball before sprinting down the line to offer wide support. A few times Mitrovic/Shelvey/Wijanldum miscontrolled or were tackled and Janmaat had already been too far up the pitch and had to recover.

It's noticable how Benitez has told him not to get quite so far forward in the last few matches. Problem is that's by far and away the best and most consistent part of his game. The rest fluctuates massively from match to match. Pants today.

Hangs us out to dry when he runs forward. Wouldn't if we had a decent team/set up. But for now he needs to stay in position. Easier said than done, as that's his style...but he needs to. At very least he should bust a gut bombing back. He didn't today.

 

Luckily for us he wasn't punished very much for it, since Sunderland were having too much fun running circles around Colback on the other flank.

Bigger fish to fry than getting rid of Janmaat, but I agree that it needs to happen in time.

He needs replacing at the end of this season, no matter what division we're in.

 

If Rafa stays I can't see him keeping Janmaat on. He looks good going forward, but defensively he's pretty awful. Just switches off at times and unless Rafa can fix that then he has to go.
