He nailed the ball into Doherty's chest no?
It was a communication fumble between Ben and Doherty no?

It was a communication fumble between Ben and Doherty no?
No and no.
Yes it does. If he didnt pay enough attention to that (the oppositions only real chance)then in all probability he wasnt paying attention to the game.It was PEH & Davies.... Doesn't change the dynamic ofPointToPatrik 's comment though.
You're being childishly obtuse.....
He's acknowledging the very incident that has you rattled.
Again you're missing the point.
No I'm not.
Well actually you are but its probably intentional.
He thinks he had a good game (which is quite incredible). There is absolutely no way anyone can feel this way unless they were not paying much attention to the game or flat out didnt watch it imo. His post regarding the 'the Doherty incident' indicates just that so I now understand why he feels Davies had a good game.
In regards to his performance he was In reality poor. He made a couple of tackles that you would hope any defender makes but offered the square root of fuck all going forward again and his crosses again were abysmal. He passing was also bad (again) so in reality playing him yesterday was counter productive as all Newcastle did was sit back and we needed some sort of attacking play from our full backs which Doherty provided but Davies did not yet again. He capped his shite performance off by his head down defending nearly resulting in an OG.
No... I understand your where you are coming from.... I'm simply refuting it.
Your view is NOT gospel. So this statement is hollow.
Nah.... You're just being obtuse as a means to champion your own opinon.
So the guy name-checked the wrong player... It's a secondary, minor detail to his point. Shit happens....
...Doesn't mean to say he wasn't watching or is unable to assess Davies' performance over the course of 90mins. Davies was the one at fault there.... Maybe if the poster had mistaken who'm made the actual error there may be a modicum of value to your 'you can't have been watching' assertion, but the fact is that Doherty was a peripheral figure to the scenario so it's a perfectly 'forgivable' mistake to make given the context of the conversation.
2 assists tonight, very good player that some think is shit because he's asked to play as a centre back
Left back competition will bring the best out of him
Left back competition will bring the best out of him
Given how iffy our centre halves are, if Reguillon is going to oust him as No.1 LB, then maybe he should be given a chance at the left sided CB role. I've seen him play there once or twice, and he's been pretty decent (I'd certainly feel more comfortable with him there than Dodgy Dave)
Nice cameo to win a penalty, like Aurier has stepped his game up with 2 assists mid week
Fuck, you just beat me to it.
It's kind of amazing that Benny did them twice like this. The Pogba penalty was near identical.
Then made Pogba look like a fool. Great to see Gentle Ben run into the box like that.
Can anybody remember the last time we had a pen at Old Trafford?
Think someone mentioned in the OMT before kick off that we'd never had a penalty awarded at OT in the league or in Cup competitions since the Prem started.
In fairness the only way we got one was both knees being skittled by a full body slide
Ben could have easily jumped him but it is more appropriate that he didn't. When does Ben ever dribble into the box?
It was filthy.
