Benayoun has always been a better player than Cole.
Cole is 10x better than Benayoun when it comes to "football". But when it comes to "playing football", Benayoun is Jesus Christ for Cole.
You can know everything there is to know with a ball, you can have the hardest shot on the planet, but if you can't run, everything you know and everything you can do is useless, because you simply
can not do it.
I agree with you Bobby, Benayoun was always a better PLAYER than Cole, but hey, he's from Israel...
Btw, some of my friends actually nicknamed me Joe Cole a few weeks ago, because I have good technique, but I'm slow as fuck.
