Bentley's body language when he came on

[JollyHappy]

Bringing Bentley on at that stage in the game was a good decision and he got some good crosses in from open play. The Modric Bentley corner routine could have worked as well 1st or 2nd time but maybe a bit silly expecting Hull to fall for it 4 times!

I didn't really notice his body language but I thought bringing him on at RB worked quite well. He put in some great crosses and linked up well with Lennon and Modric. I was more worried that when we were pushing up we left Corluka 1 on 1 with a Hull striker and I know who I'd fancy for pace.

i get the distinct impression ramos would've spent £15m elsewhere.....

Yup it was a master stroke by Ramos!! Get more crosses into the box just for no one to get on the end of them! Tell Modric or Jenas to push up to get on the end of the crosses, What else could he have done I hear u ask? WIN! How people can say we are critising Ramos for the sake of it when we are currently bottom of the EPL with 2 draws is beyond me. Ok we lost Keane and Berba, this should only cause us not to be in the top 6 it should not cause us to be dead last!

They'd still be asking for Ramos to have more time once he's sent us down a league though. Even Jol had a better start last season than this and he got Sacked!

lets face the facts, if berba and keane was still up front we would'nt be in this position simple as. team played well considering the pressure but we dont have the forwards

What a load of shit. PAY ATTENTION. As he came on he was Shaking his head AT ZOKORA, who must have asked if he was going to right back. His "Body Language" was fine. FFS.

I agree above was there yesterday..... We went three at the back also with Bently playing right mid. Just most fans can't understand that the game has moved on since the 70's

That is what happened but Bentley walked passed Zoko shrugged his shoulders in a 'I'm f*cked if I know' way then shook his head in what looked like disbelief. this isn't about whether it was the right decision or not but to Bentley's attitude. Can't fault his effort or performance when he came on but this looked like a bit of dissent to me, I may be wrong...

 

[Flatters]

He wasn't really playing at right back though. We didn't really need a right back at that stage of the game. He was just there to cross the ball in, and Lennon/Giovani was in front of him to run with the ball into the box or to the byline and cross it. It all made perfect sense.

The only thing I can't understand is why Lennon was taken off for Giovani, unless Lennon was just shattered by that time. Gio clearly isn't ready to play much for us yet, and isn't a scratch on Lennon at the moment, so it was a downgrade taking Lennon off and bringing Giovani on.
