The Benayoun Appreciation Thread

Yossi is no winger though. I think his best position is behind two strikers like, for example, in a 3-5-2 as the furthest forward midfielder.

Well played Yossi!

Ideally he shouldnt get in our starting 11 (& often doesnt), but you cannot accuse him of not pulling his weight this season (even tho he only weighs 9 stone FFS), unlike a fair few of the others.

Why shouldnt he. Yossi is one of most talented players and the most underated player in the squad. I read in the match thread from somebody else "Yossi is playing well above his capabilities" or something similar.

He is class, he can win games with his skill on the ball, he has a right to start every game, if he he training hard and performing well

[Rafael Benítez Maudes]

he has improved as a player at liverpool,no?
would be good to see him play as much as possible
and i could see him being our player of the season
2009/2010

Great to see the recognition he has deserved all along .. sunshine charlies

I said at the start he was much better option than Pennant and this has been proved the case.He scores,has vision and has good technical ability,especially in close control in tight spaces.Pennant can run and occasionally swings over a decent ball.I know who I choose.

Always thought he's a very good player and I'm chuffed he's ours.

He's most effective in the Gerrard role though so tough competition.

until Aquilani is fit I'd like to see him play there with Stevie and Masher/Lucas in midfield depending on the opposition

What a bloody nice guy he seems too.

The way he said "thank you very much" to the interviewer after the game

He's a great lad.He appreciates what hes got and has time for autographs and pictures.

Does anyone think that Benayoun could be our answer to cover for Torres? He seemed to be playing high up and in the middle of the pitch and did extremely well. When Torres is fit play Yossi on the wing, when he is out, put Riera on the wing and play Yossi up front.

I don't think he has the strength to do that position. The way we play demands that the front man takes a lot of pressure and physical pushing, puling etc. What it does give is quite an effective non Torres/Gerrard with Benayoun and Kuyt or Ngog up top with less pressure on the striker to score goals.
