Said Benrahma bizarrely broke a major rule of the game during the Hammers’ 1-0 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield.
The Algeria international came off the bench just after the hour mark and made a real impact, creating chances from the left flank, and tormenting the Reds defence. 
However, The Sun has noted that after coming off the bench, Benrahma did not wear shin pads.
IFAB – the International Football Association Board – has set out the laws of the game and the winger contravened law 4.2, which states that players must wear shin pads throughout the game; if they come off, the player must replace them at the next break in play.
Pictures from the broadcast show that Benrahma took his shin pads off around the 70 minute mark and did not replace them.
It remains to be seen if the Hammers star will be punished for the breach, but it is more likely to be a fine than anything approaching a ban.
A major Rule? Error prone but one of the few players with dribbling ability in our team. Disliked by some for non footballing reasons
Presumably the shin pads were bothering him and just took ’em off and got on with it. It’s not as if this happens all the time – just a one-off that’s best left at that. Maybe send him a reminder.
Anyway it should be down to the coaching staff to have spotted and gone out to him with some fresh ones.
Fined? Billy Bonds would’ve been skint!
To be fair, if he’s disliked (as a player) it’s only for his repeated failures to consistently go past a man without being dispossessed. Hopefully he can turn that around – I think most fans want Bennie to succeed. Too many blame the manager for the player’s very evident failings over two years. ‘Lightweight’ is the correct term I think. Algerian national team see that clearly enough.
