Rafa Praises ‘Great Professional’ Who Is Giving Him A ‘Good Problem’

As reported by the Chronicle, Rafa Benitez has heaped praise on Newcastle striker, Daryl  Murphy.

When asked about his Irish forward, Benitez said: “I have been really pleased with his attitude,”

“He has been a great professional, then he got injured and after that we couldn’t give him continuity.

“But we are really pleased with him.

“He must keep working but he has a problem: that is Dwight Gayle because he is scoring so many goals.

He was also quick to lavish his other strikers with praise, adding: “I am happy with Daryl and even Mitrovic. It was a pity to lose Mitrovic because the two of them, they could be a threat for defenders and we had to change everything.

“But Murphy, Mitro and Gayle are three good strikers, all working well – it’s a good problem for me.”

No doubt Benitez will want to see more from Mitrovic and Murphy as the season goes on.
