I’m sorry Rafa, but this bizarre reasoning makes no sense at all

Rafa Benitez's rather dubious explanation for Yossi Benayoun's perennial bench status over the last two seasons is (arguably) as ludicrous as it is inaccurate.

In a recent interview, Rafa made the following observations:

'I was talking to Yossi about how he has always been fantastic coming off the bench and he told me he could do even more if I gave him a chance from the start'.
