I was watching some old matches and remember Benayoun being a decent player. Very Skillful.

Does he just look decent when watching the highlights or was he actually a very good player?

Sort of like a Lallana or Coutinho type player.

Thoughts?

Very decent player. Flitted in and out of games a bit, but like Luis Garcia, could really shine.

Bit of a hybrid of Couts and Lallana. He was harder working than Couts, but not as hardworking as Lallana, but he was also more gifted than Lallana but not as gifted as Coutinho.

Vastly under rated player was Yossi. We let him go at least 2 seasons early.

Think Burkeyboy hit the nail on the head - he did flit in and out of games but was always capable of producing something significant. Think he was more consistent than Garcia overall - though Garcia was capable of producing a magical moment from nowhere Benayoun was more consistent in his contributions (though not as individually spectacular as Garcia) .

{Ed002's Note - Jerry Garcia is an all time favourite of mione.}

He was a good player but a bit inconsistent. Sometimes he didn't fancy it.

ed002 which grateful dead album did you prefer between workingman's dead or American beauty?

{Ed002's Note - American Beauty is the second best album ever made.}

ed002 could you kindly let me know which is the 1st?, box of rain is one of the best songs ever written imo.

{Ed002's Note - Electric Music for The Mind and Body by Country Joe and The Fish Kenny. I thought everyone knew that. Interestingly, I shall be seeing the remnants of the Grateful Dead play in June (as "Dead & Company").}
