Yossi Benayoun

he has done really well in the last few games

 

i think he has saved his Liverpool career

[Swipe]

Said the same to my mate today.

 

Been really good these last few games. Getting involved and carrying a threat.

 

Can't complain either, as he's started quite a few recently

[_00_deathscar]

Dittoed.

 

Was very disappointing prior to about 3 games back.

[gns]

as good as ive seen him play for us today, not a favorite of mine by any means but I thought he did exceptionally well today. Gave us great width and rarely wasted possession as is often his biggest downfall.

[stressederic]

Did really well with Gerrard's 1st goal today and Keane's 2nd on Boxing Day.

[Romario]

Agreed. He's been really excellent. I've never been a big fan but he's played at the very top of his game the last few weeks and it's great to see. Fair play to him.

[New York Red]

Agreed. He's looked really good. Confident, aggressive, not giving away the ball and not running into his teammates.

[carrafan]

He's a good option to play as he commits defenders and makes great runs. He also has the knack of getting into space in the opposition penalty box. One can see him in space just waiting for the ball to be passed to him in many of the highlight reels when we get into the box. Good player who works hard defensively as well. Better than Park at United.

 

He's not really an impact player though and has best use in a game where he starts and this is one of the reasons he hasnt looked good for us. Luis had the ability to be an impact player with his unpredictability, Benny needs a good part of the game to create that one opening for himself or for another player.

 

He's a nice guy who doesnt gloat the media attention but is still rated by a lot of teams outside the top 4.

[Ombudsam]

Smackhead's done well

[Earl Hafler]

First time in about a year that he's had a run in the side. Obviously one of those players who needs a few games to play himself into form.

[Swagger]

I think he is highly rated by Rafa, who more often than not seems to prefer Benayoun's intelligent play to, say, Babel's pace and power.

 

Benayoun's game is somewhat dependent on the quality of the strikers in front of him, and in a sense he has suffered because of Torres' injury. We saw against Bolton (Keane) and today against Newcastle (Gerrard) that if an attacking player will get himself into a good position then Benayoun is able to spot him and deliver an excellent ball. Obviously this doesn't always work, but when it does, it is very effective.

err....no I'm backing Jew on this one - it was a hilarious pun

[Saintslfc13]

I have to say he's really impressed me lately as well. I've been one of his biggest critics but I'm glad he's come through for the side lately, thought he drifted inside a bit too much at times but that's his game so I can't really fault him for that as long as he keeps producing.

[Bootle Buck]

He really can be a very good player when he is on form. He was even tracking back really well in the last few games too.

Well said. He's been boss.

[Raybouldsrightpeg]

Seems like more playing time is allowing him to sync better with the regulars.

I've always thought he was a good player for the squad.

 

His form at the start of the season was disappointing although he wasn't helped by being played out of position on the left.

 

Having him and Riera in the wide midfield positions in a 4-4-2 worked a treat against Bolton and is something I'd like to see more of against teams that come to Anfield with 10 men behind the ball.

[Conrad]

Yes, fair play. I have never liked him, and would be the first to moan if his name was in the starting XI - but last 2 or 3 games he has been very good. Much more incisive.

[Rex Ham]

Even won a tackle yesterday against Bolton an all...could hardly believe my eyes.

 

Long may it continue.

[Mike]

i have to agree
