2021/22 Ben Godfrey

[Nymzee]

I mean, he's not though is he Dave.

Benitez sees Godfrey as a RB. I'm sure someone on heren was advocating he played RB.

 

[bebo86]

Wish he scored that chance, be funny if he ended up a hibbert never scoring

 

[Bebeto]

Nowhere near the level he showed last year...has to improve

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Decent rebound game. Villa abused him. looked lively today.

 

[Axlswhk]

Never rectify his positional sense. Horrible right back. Too narrow, too naïve.

 

[Deleted member 48881]

Just too weak. COVID ruined him I'm afraid

 

[davek]

Everton's right back. You heard it here first.

 

[atypicalusername]

Should have scored but Krul pulled a worldie of a save. Other than that he seems okay in a less attacking role as a fullback but without Seamus we feel less of a side

 

[Milkman]

Really uncomfortable defending on that side so some reason.

 

[davek]

Learning his trade at RB, but he should allow the manager to be able to spend what cash he has in January elsewhere. He's going to be a good stand in for Coleman.

 

[BlueToff]

better today

He's a centre-back.

He's having to play at right-back because our recruitment department failed to do their jobs.

Good lad is Ben

….even those of us who have supported his case for inclusion should not excuse a very poor aerial challenge for the 2nd goal. I have no idea if he’s been affected by Covid but it was still a basic situation he got very wrong.

He’s struggled in recent games, time will tell if there’s a reason for it.

….let’s hope you’re proven to be right, its looking like that Rolls Royce engine has blown a gasket.

He absolutely doesn't look fit.

Given our depth, or lack of, in the full back areas I look forward to our best centre half playing in the full back areas again this year.

better today

Seems clear that hes playing his way back to fitness.

So far this season his pace was probably 30%* of what we had seen season last season.

Today he looked up to about 60%*


*clearly not these % but he definitely looked more athletic today which points to him recovering.

He's a centre-back.

He's having to play at right-back because our recruitment department failed to do their jobs.

100% a centre back.

Rule of thumb,if @davek says its raining...it isnt.

Let's give this time. He'll have all season to slot in and out of the position as Coleman wont play each week, as we already know.
