Well b back 3,140 Posted May 12, 2016 [quote user="mrs miggins"]Yep watched it several times. Bennett was supposed to be marking Aghalo and lost him yet again just like Defoe. Why do you feel Pinto should man mark Bennetts man every time he loses him ?. Pinto had Sanchez then whats his name the MU left sider in his pocket in his previous 2 games and Watford last night made a left sided substitution as they could not handle his runs or get past him. And was it not Pinto in the 2nd 1/2 that just got to a header to stop Deeney scoring ? Our center halfs made more mistakes than usual - difference ? we scored 4 so it did not matter. ---------------------So you''ve watched it and you expect the CB to be favourite when the ball is played between GK and defender - that''s delusional I''m afraid. Bennett positioned himself well to begin with but when the ball came in he had no idea where Ighalo was, Pinto must take the most responsibility for it as he saw the whole thing; he let Ighalo easily get ahead of him which left the striker able to place himself between our CB and RB (and GK). Pinto had no-one else to mark so should''ve tracked the run. He let the situation (being the low ball in the box) become a battle between striker and CB, where it should''ve been Ighalo v 2 defenders.[/quote]Whatever lol Pinto was class and a country mile ahead of our 2 centrer halfs. He bailed them both out time and time again as they were not good enough to mark Deeney and Aghalo. Listen to what AN said about Pinto today re the last 3 games !. Would rather take his word that he is now a PL player and does not understand why people judged him on the 1st 2 games when he was not adjusted to the PL.

mrs miggins 0 Posted May 12, 2016 Personally I thought he was the second best player on the pitch yesterday before Redmond. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mason 47 1,351 Posted May 13, 2016 Ry Bennett is a good bottom-line defender. He can reliably be chucked at the ball and expect to see it cleared with relative consistency. The finer points of defending, maybe not so good, which is why he looks better alongside Klose as opposed to calamity Bassong or the frail Martin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJP 79 Posted May 13, 2016 Absolutely. If there''s an unchallenged header there''s a decent chance Bennett will win it.If the ball can be hoofed clear under no pressure there''s a decent chance he will hoof it.He''s quite good at those things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrs miggins 0 Posted May 13, 2016 Although he''s not a good passer when under pressure, when he does have time boy can he pick a pass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJP 79 Posted May 13, 2016 No more than any of the others.Often when not under pressure he does a sideways pass to his superior ball playing partner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrs miggins 0 Posted May 13, 2016 I''d agree that Klose is a great passer of the ball. Comparing Martin and Bennett I would say that Martin is better in possession especially when under pressure, he doesn''t just hoof it like Bennett sometimes does.Bassong on the other hand, he''s better than Bassong on the ball and passing (imo) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hardley1 0 Posted May 13, 2016 I would prefer Bennett over Bassong any day. His major problem is he is injury prone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
