Hope he questions the Spanish Genuis

 

[GETEM]

Was watching the game in Brighton and was speaking to a Palace fan, he was made up the see Richie subbed off

 

[MACCA75]

See him go down clutching his calf? See the ice pack on it after he was subbed?

Me either.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Benitez confirmed he subbed him as precaution.

Benitez confirmed he subbed him as precaution.

I'm sure he used to pull the same stunt with Torres too. Just a bizarre decision to take off your best player when you're trailing in a game.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

His versatility and our lack of depth means I’d always give him a chance out wide if he’s had no joy centrally. Defo wouldn’t have taken him off today.

With that said, the reaction to this sub has been hyperbolic to say the least. Relax, guys.

And yet Torres best years was under him.

Hope he comes out on Insta and says he had no injury at all.

And yet Torres best years was under him.

Which makes it even more baffling then??

 

[andy4efc]

Sorry to link RS in but the look on Gerrard's face tells you all you need to know about Benitez trying to be clever.. 1-1 away at Birmingham, takes off Torres.

Just to add to that;

BBC Sport - Football - Birmingham 1-1 Liverpool

They drew. He brought on N'Gog for Torres....

He is not the master tactician some frauds would have you think he is.

The substitution in itself wouldn't warrant this reaction. It's the fact it's coupled with 1 win in 10.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Benitez confirmed he subbed him as precaution.

And if you believe that you'd believe anything

 

[Littlesue]

Hope he comes out on Insta and says he had no injury at all.

If he wants to keep his job he won't

Laying the blame away from himself..he never change the fsw
