Rafa Benítez (now unemployed)


Recommended Posts

Yedlin as a third CB man. This loss is on Rafa.

 

Come on. I wasn't a fan of it either but Yedlin is a professional footballer. Playing at CB instead of RB doesn't mean we should expect him to forget how to defend. The fact that players like Yedlin are in the team at all is the reason we're shite.

The Yedlin at CB decision was somewhat understandable, like - they had one of the league's quickest players leading the line and were trying to wait for a moment to counter. Lascelles doesn't have Fernandez's ability to read the game so can understand why Rafa wanted pace at the back as cover.

Yedlin was in the same position as he would be if he was at RB when he miss controlled it, he just fucked up, moving him to CB was nothing to do with the error, aside maybe two centre halfs more central might have provided more cover.

What was the jist of his anger? Ref or...?

 

He started by saying "VAR. Now!" so that'll give you an idea. Making the point that Lascelles gets back so it's not a red (don't agree on that one) and then the elbow, which is obviously spot on.

Clearly not a red card,  clearly a foul & penalty on Perez. Why wouldn't he be angry?

 

It probably was a red. I’d be asking for a red at the other end.

 

You'd be asking but you probably wouldn't get it. Dean had his red card before the lad even went down.

Oh, absolutely. But a lot of players get sent off like that. It’s not controversial like the assault on pereth

Agree it was a red, but Dean almost made whipping out the red card look like a celebration. At one point I thought he was going to start high fiving the Wolves players.

Nah, but he saved hugging them until the end. Not even lying either.

Yedlin wasn't in the same position if he was at RWB where he played in the first half
