Really happy with the way he's played over the last 2 seasons. I'd be delighted if he was our first choice LB for the next 4/5 years.

Sorry 'Arry, can't agree with you. His positional sense still leaves a lot to be desired. Also, his covering of fellow defenders is not good. He goes forward very well, but his crossing is not good. If it was my choice, I'd have Kyle Walker at right back and Danny Rose on the left. Sadly, that won't happen.

haha

Great season for disco benny. Rare thing, a decent left back at spurs in recent years.

I think he has been great with the odd exception here and there for the last two years. My only criticism is his overlapping and crossing - or the lack of it. When Bale is having two men on him, Benny needs to release the pressure by going on the overlap and putting some quality balls in the box. That is something that impressed me with Rose at the end of the season, his crossing is vastly superior to Benny.

Those comments underneath the article are outrageous! They only think he is not that good because Alan Hansen says so. I think Benny is good at everything except his distribution which can be sloppy at times. He is definitely the best left-back I have seen at Spurs.

love benny, has been superb for two seasons...infact if you're were doing the award for the last two seasons benny would win it hands down given that modders was out for half a season last year....

Nice to read, but can i make a request that you cut n paste the guts of articles like that as, aside from the fact some of us on work machines wouldn't be able to click that link, it makes bile rise in my throat that there it is now recorded on my machine somewhere that i visited that shitty site.

I really don,t understand peoples views about his distribution being poor. I think his distribution is excellent, some of his long cross field balls and general passing is quality (ball to bale for og v werder bremen, ball for crouch to flick on for lennons goal v liverpool, pass to lennon for pen v arsenal etc)

Quick, strong, composed, strong the tackle and good in the air.

Top notch player that is going to be massively important next season.

I still think a lot of it dates back to him saying football is a job to him, bit of a touchy subject to English people.

Think that article , ( if quoted correctly) can safely rule out any formation with bale at lb next season.
