Just feel so sorry for him. Must have been such a rough 2 years in a new country not being able to play. Sure you could say "but he's well paid" but he could also barely even walk which isn't just a hindrance to playing football.

Big lad... If he can stay fit and be match fit he will be difficult to play against.
The decision not to use this lad in U23 games is utterly baffling to me
The decision to play him in a midfield 2 is almost as baffling
Can nobody at this bloody football club make a correct decision?!

Looked lost like he didn't know what he was meant to be doing

Sympathy aside He has to take some responsibility for that himself though , it’s not like he’s won a competition.

Without doubt shouldn't have been selected to begin with clearly not good enough

Shell of a player but he has battled back from two freak injuries however he needs games why he hasn't built up some match fitness in the U23 is beyond stupid.
Hung out to dry tonight by a poor management. Felt him with Allan and Davies would have supported the defence better but hey Benitez knows best

He looks miles off it which was predictable given he hasn't had a minute of football since last season and has had two huge injuries. The manager chucking him in a two was ridiculous

So you were expecting him to come in with not one start in two years and two major injuries and dominate that midfield? Lad needs nursing back if he is going to ever offer anything. Maybe the injuries have finished him but writing him off after one game is also absurd given he hasn't had many minutes in two seasons.

Well, now that he's crap against Wolves - I think his game time will be limited further.
I do feel some sympathy for Gbamin, having that two injuries. And you're right, I don't get how the club is dealing with him. But he could've been staying around because nobody is interested. Not sure how u23 works, whether he can play for u23 to get himself up to speed and then get a loan somewhere to rebuild his career.

Didnt watch the match
But why would you start a player thats been injured for 2 years?
Surely you ease them in through u23 games and/or sub appearances?
Benitez said Onyango needs 4 or 5 games in the u23s as hes come off an injury...yet Gbamin hasnt had a single second.
Echoes of Silva starting him when he wasnt ready and causing this mess.
What was Benitez thinking? I'll show the fans?

There is something we can agreed on - he can't run anymore and I think he should be loaned/sold to somewhere. but I don't think many clubs will be interested.
He was invisible and allowed Wolves to dominate his area. Ran around like a lost puppy.

Shall we give donations to make him feel better?
