Iron torches his Sevilla chances

Said Benrahma is surely not going to be involved in the clash with Sevilla.

The Algeria international has been roundly terrible for some weeks now and was awful after coming on against Liverpool at the weekend.

The winger did next to nothing right at Anfield after arriving for the injured Jarrod Bowen.

Benrahma had 26 touches of the ball and only managed a pass accuracy of 71% while he was on the pitch, per WhoScored.

He tried two dribbles but neither of them came off, while he also failed to have a shot on goal, nor did he manage a key pass.

This was a downright disgraceful performance with the only feather in his cap being the fact that he made three tackles. For a winger, that just doesn’t matter at all.

Bowen is likely to miss this week’s encounter with Sevilla because of the injury he sustained but we just can’t see there being a scenario in which David Moyes uses Benny as the replacement.

It’s far more likely to be Nikola Vlasic, and we can’t say that isn’t deserved, purely because he isn’t as bad as Benrahma.
