Yorkie Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Rob Elliot is probably the keeper with the best distribution I can remember. Good throw on him. Shay was poor and Krul just inexplicably, constantly horrible. Our keeper situating is a weird one. I was convinced Krul was off but there's been nowt in the way of rumours since the tenuous Everton link. I wonder if Rafa actually rates Sels as the long term number 1.

Ronaldo Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Our keepers have all had pretty poor distribution since Mike Hooper. So yeah, over 20 years. And he was all around poor. Bar the beaut of that Klinsmann penalty save. Very good kicker of the ball though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 When I worked at the Little Chef through college he had a spell where he came every week for fish & chips when it was on a promotion for £4.99. Never came back when it went back to full price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still love the story from Beresford of some fans asking Hooper to sign their ball, one of them saying 'dont drop it!' and him booting it out of the car park.

Dave Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 http://www.rafabenitez.com/web/in/players/vicente/52/164/ "From the minute Rafa accepted the difficult challenge of trying to save Newcastle from relegation, knowing him as I do it didn’t surprise me at all that he stayed with them in the Championship. I saw how the fans loved him, how they were asking him to stay. These are things that Rafa places a lot of value in. I understand that Rafa, who is a person with high values, felt in debt to all these people and accepted the task of taking them back to the Premier. Apart from being a top class coach, he is a man of commitment. I’ve got the best possible memories of Rafa, no doubt. With Rafa we achieved goals with Valencia which have never been repeated.“We won titles in Spain and Europe, we were highly competitive. It is very hard to battle for the league with Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid and we won two titles in three years, we did the double by winning the UEFA Cup. They were the best years in the recent history of Valencia. He’s a top level coach. In many ways he has always been ahead of his time. When he arrived at Valencia and applied his methods, along with his coaching staff who were also top class, the results were incredible. He transmitted a winning mentality. He took care of all aspects of the game, the training sessions, the preparation of a footballer. He has an enormous capacity for work. And he has had success at Valencia, Liverpool, Chelsea, Inter, Napoli – there’s a reason for that. As a coach he could always get the best out of you, which is key for a player and for a team. He would demand the absolute maximum – but on the other side he was the sort who would help you during troubled times and just get the best he could from you. I like that. Having demands placed upon you is what helps you grow". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Seems to be a bit of a discrepancy between how the Spanish players and English players describe him as a man-manager, like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
