4 - Ronald Araújo

Apart from one pass that was great, he is a total liability on the ball.

Although at least don't dwell on it for 10 seconds before you inevitably pass it sideways to Cubarsi for him to play it out of the back. Would hope he would be somewhat improved after all these years at the club, but not much progress there.

It probably wouldn't have been any different with Inigo, but for teams like Getafe that offer no turnovers and are happy to draw at home, you need to circulate the ball much much quicker.

Still the bigger issue is that you need two Lamine's for games like today, with Raphi or Lewy down the middle.

It's actually embarrasing how every big team knows he's a press tigger and leaves him to pass the ball freely.

If I was a coach and my defender signals for offside mid-play instead of continuing to defend and we conciede from that in times of VAR, I would fine his arse and send him to the gulag. Fucking Pique did it and now this fuck is doing it.

Should not be in the squad next game, just to prove a point.

Imagine giving this slightly above average defender anything above 8-10m. I wouldn’t even give him that, I’d sell first thing in the summer.

Liability on the ball, not very inteligent, his defense and speed are overrated.

With Inigo there is likelihood backlike would be organized better and sprung offside trap at least 2 times. But can only speculate.

Tbf, Araujo is back after long absence. But onus on him to win our trust

He takes 2 business days to control a simple pass, then takes another 2 business days to make a decision, then another 2 to pass it sideways or back to the keeper. However out of position Benfica was, Araujo let them organise and even put us on the back foot by being pressed in our own box.

One of the worse defenders i have seen, he is not just stupid and ignorant he is really bad. High line is on thing, that's the tactics but you still have to have situational awareness and fall when they are in our penalty area. This guy will never learn, please ship him!!
