Player Watch: Rodrigo Bentancur

[thebenjamin]

So back today. Such a top all round player

Surely the FA have fucked themselves here? If they give Bentancur a long ban and we appeal to someone like CAS they're going to get walked all over for it.

Pffft as if the FA would behave like amateurs…….

 

[Cambridge Spur]

Thought he was excellent today.

 

[Ray Ray]

Such an underappreciated player. Was everywhere today, great interceptions, tackles and just generally making us tick.

Just to check, if he were to get banned, would it only apply to the league and domestic cup games? Would he still be able to play in the Europa League?

Think so, UEFA would have to apply it also.

Looks so good with Kulusevski and Maddison. Similar to when he started with Kulusevski and GLC at home to Villa.

110%, how can the FA charge him for this which was done close season in Uruguay and then not charge Fernandez as he was on international duty?
Surely if anyone should take it up it should be the Uruguayan FA, not the FA in this country?
as you say though could be interesting going down the CAS route…

It’s our most creative three in the middle of the park, don’t see how we can’t start with them next game.
We’ve then got Berg, Sarr, Biss and Gray on the bench to change things up or close games out.

Yep he’s clearly got it in his locker, the key is consistency though. He’s got to start doing it on a regular basis and back to back games now rather than 1 in 5.

hope he uses this game to kick on now - recovery from ACL injuries are sometimes impossible but looks like he's mentally there now and is starting to trust his body & strength again. Also helps to play with our form player of the season (deki) and a fired up madders who was irresistible today

 

[rossdapep]

We need him and Maddison (and whoever plays through the centre) to really show much more consistency to be anywhere close to the top.

Bentacur has some genuine excuses but all of them have too many spells of average performances or not enough influence.

Let's hope they are all starting to show signs of that.

Will be great for us but also great for the likes of Bergvall as we won't have to put too much expectation on him.

 

[Cornpattbuck]

Class act.

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

That’s sliding tackle he did was epic. He’s finding his stride.

Gutted if he gets a bit ban

0:39 - Loved seeing Bissouma celebrating Rodrigo's tackle

 

[SpursSince1980]

I’m confused about his situation. When is this ban supposed to start?

 

[Yiddo100]

I’m confused about his situation. When is this ban supposed to start?

He’s not even been given one yet.

 

[hughy]

I hope we find out whether he can play on Sunday before Thursday's game. Will be massively annoying if he's rested against Qarabag and then they ban is handed out the day after.

 

[jurgen]

Not sure the club would want to be seen appealing this, even though it’s a disgrace that Fernandez has got away with it due to reasons
