think Ben is a confidence player and doubts his ability
could be the new signing has made him over think his game again and worry about being dropped, keeps playing like this and he will be, shame as on his day his unplayable
I have no agenda against Benrahma at all tbh although I did think last season he was, generally speaking, fairly average at best and could never understand the clamour for his inclusion. This season however, yesterday apart, and he wasn't the only one as you point out I thought he was very poor. But the only reason I mentioned him specifically in this post was because he was mentioned by the poster I replied to.only1salty wrote: ↑Mon Sep 13, 2021 9:41 amNot like you have had an agenda against Benrahma since we signed him is it
Hardly got a kick today but neither did Antonio and he was Player of the Month
I get your point regarding Benrahma last season, but considering he was up against bias towards the loanee who was played in front of him and his lack of minutes your outcome was inevitable.Whiskyman wrote: ↑Mon Sep 13, 2021 11:20 amI have no agenda against Benrahma at all tbh although I did think last season he was, generally speaking, fairly average at best and could never understand the clamour for his inclusion.

As for these Player/Manager of the Month Awards I've lost count of the number of times one of our lot has picked one up and it's been followed by an embarrassing defeat so maybe Antonio's performance shouldn't have come as a total surprise.
But back to Benrahma. I'll admit to having reservations about him when he joined but his recent performances give me hope that my misgivings were unfounded and that he'll go on to have a decent career with us.
