Benitez namechecking Josh like that was a bit s**tty imo.

They are two different players, men, people. Just because they are twins it doesn't mean they should be considered as two sides of the same coin.

Would Benitez say, "Yeah we looked at Alex Pritchard last season, but we now think Jacob Murphy is better."

Not only is it unsettling but it is also fantastically demeaning and I cannot think of an equivalent example where a manager has so casually namechecked another team's player like that.
