'He was quite good' - Rafael Benitez names one Everton player who impressed against Wolves

Rafael Benitez has praised Fabian Delph after the Wolves clash, despite Everton's third straight Premier League defeat. Speaking to Liverpool Echo the Toffee's head coach has given his verdict upon the match, which also involved Delph's name.

“The reason (for making the substitution) was we were looking for a change of something and to get possession of the ball,” Benitez explained at full-time.   “Delph has experience (even if) he was not fully fit because he was away for a while. He can pass the ball, receive the ball and make people around him play.    “We were needing this and apart from the intensity to challenge for first and second balls, but he gave us this on the ball and he was quite good for us.”    “We showed what we are capable of doing in the second-half. We were missing something in the first-half.    “I was not very happy with the first-half. In the second-half we were still unbalanced but we showed the character that we didn’t have in the first-half.”   

With Abdoulaye Doucoure still being ruled out and Gbamin clearly lacking confidence, Delph could make his first league start in 12 months against Tottenham Hotspur next weekend.   Source - hitc Join us on Telegram!/ Follow us on Twitter!
