Benson

[basil6345789]

What's his injury, when will he be back?

[Pearcey]

Don’t know but he has played games for the U21’s. It’s strange how last seasons stars are nowhere near the side at the moment.

[IanMcL]

Wonder if we are selling? All seems odd.

[scouseclaret]

Maybe we should go back to Benson and Zaroury on the wings. Surely they’ll carry more of a threat than we’re seeing at the moment.

[bfcjg]

Zaroury has been very poor since returning from the World Cup, in the games he has come on he has been disappointing.

He’s not been very poor at all. We didn’t carry “very poor” players in the second half of last season.

Really doubt Zaroury would carry more threat than Koleosho. Are you serious? Zaroury was really poor after the WC and has been really poor in his starts so far this season.

Benson is a different story. I think Koleosho left and him right could be something special. Would love to know where Benson is at.

He was terrible at Bournemouth, not interested, I suggest Kompany wasn’t happy with this .

That unhappy he brought him on against West Ham over all the other wingers we have?

[bfcjg]

He hasn't reached anywhere near the standards he'd hit prior to the world cup.

You mean 3 games later

[Bordeauxclaret]

He hasn't reached anywhere near the standards he'd hit prior to the world cup.

I’d tend to agree but in no way was he very poor in the second half of the season.

[Bordeauxclaret]

You mean 3 games later

Yeah, is that the going punishment for someone who is uninterested?

[Casper2]

Did you go to Bournemouth?

[mybloodisclaret]

Sorry what is the craic with Benny?

[Greekclaret]

Is he injured or is he just that luxury player in the championship we simply cannot rely on in the prem? He is lightweight and his tracking back isn’t the best but the lad has quality.

[Fretters]

He hasn't reached anywhere near the standards he'd hit prior to the world cup.

Scored twice at Bournemouth in the cup after the world cup.

This season's Bournemouth performance from him was miles away, though.

Why do people keep repeating this nonsense?

You want him to play an injured Benson and unavailable Foster?
or how about an out of form dreadful now injured Cullen? Do you want to see Al Dakhil back in and giving up goals again? How about an injured Jack Cork? Or a struggling Roberts?

[KRBFC]

Benson missed all of pre season, he started the 2nd game of the season and is on the road to recovery with the u21s for game time. What’s so hard to understand?

You ok?

[KRBFC]

You ok?

Are you going to answer or keep repeating the same myth

[Pearcey]

Are you going to answer or keep repeating the same myth

Was being genuine. Are you ok? It’s good to talk.

[boatshed bill]

Haven't there always been doubts about Benson's physicality, not just at Burnley?

What's he had?

[dougcollins]

Haven't there always been doubts about Benson's physicality, not just at Burnley?

I think he learned a fair bit last season, having been kicked all over the pitch and marked by at least two in every game.

[Claretforever]

Haven't there always been doubts about Benson's physicality, not just at Burnley?

Yes, when he first came. You might remember Watford kicking him early in the game at theirs and he cried off.

Kompany then had a number of training sessions where I games the rules were no fouls given against Benson. They basically kicked lumps out of him. It toughened him up and he was brilliant after that. Perhaps he’s slipped back?
