What has happened to the lad? He looked pretty decent last year but shite now for me. Pleased we didn't buy him tbh.
I don't know if it is politically correct on here at the moment to say so but that is a great piece of analysis. To me, Kenedy looks better with Dummett behind him and perhaps we shall see if that is the case over the next few weeks. After all, Enrique and Jonas made a good partnership.I think he's better at going forward but Paul is right it's the players around him. Not to mention Benitez has him defending more. He would shine in a better team with a decent left back behind him and freedom of expeession instead of being a left back with atsu in front. Look what Bobby donewith Robert gave him the freedom of the left wing and he was either brilliant or rubbish but could afford to be with Bernard behind him and speed beside him.
fatties got him in his pocket.
He's looking complicit,part of the fakeover.
I agree with most of what you are saying marky but the whole city was united in their loathing for Pardew.There is no room for Benitez in fatties pocket,52000 so called Geordies are in there.Which in my book is far worse than any many manager with no allegiance to the club,the area or the people.
So before we all say Benitez should walk,why haven't the 52000 walked?
For what it's worth though I would like nothing more than for Benitez to walk,if anything just to see the reaction or lack of it which will be inevitable.
As much as I dislike him Ry he's anything but mediocre in terms of football management.Starting to come around to your way of thinking Pie.
He's a mediocre manager,should do the honourable thing & walk the end of January,fatties got him in his pocket.

Ashley payed a small fortune for Benitez and three years later all our woes are down to the 52,000 .....
Nowt to do with those who accepted Rafa as their saviour ?...even when it became crystal clear he was a much bigger problem than the aforementioned AP !!
I'm not making excuses for those who go but given our culture and the fanaticism passed down by those before us,it's unrealistic to expect anything will change without outside help.
