![]() How would you rate (out of 10) Rafa Benitez last season on: Yes he isn’t great going forward but I would rather have a defender who can defend. He gives his all, he defends well, has a deceiving amount of pace. His critics keep pointing to his mistakes but I can’t think of that many except when he headed the ball past Darlow (who we were playing escapes me). You cannot ask for much more from him, especially since January. Paul Dummett, who has been brilliant this season. Somebody who deserves more credit for last season than they maybe have received? ![]() I think Rafa has got the absolute maximum this season out of a very average (but big in numbers) group of players. I don’t know if the standard has got better, I think that is just an easy excuse to try and be positive. When we were last in the Championship, it was evident that quite a few of our players were on a different level to the championship (Krul, Coloccini, Enrique, Gutierrez, Barton, Nolan, Carroll… even Shola was brilliant when he played). I think all over the pitch, perhaps with the exception of Jonjo Shelvey in the middle of the park, this team doesn’t compare.
