‘I see it every day in training’: Jarrod Bowen lauds West Ham teammate Said Benrahma

Jarrod Bowen absolutely raved about Said Benrahma after the Algerian’s magnificent performance for West Ham against Bournemouth last night.

The Hammers beat the Cherries 2-0 at the London Stadium, and Benrahma played an absolutely vital role in his side’s victory.

The 27-year-old was absolutely sensational for West Ham last night. He caused Bournemouth all sorts of problems throughout the entire match, and capped off his performance with a goal late on.

Benrahma fired home from the penalty spot in injury time to make it 2-0 to West Ham. We have been campaigning for the Algerian ace to be the Hammers’ penalty taker.

Who knows, maybe Moyes reads our stuff!

The Scot failed to give Benny unconditional praise, as per usual, but it is what it is. At least one of his teammates lauded him without any caveats…

Jarrod Bowen praises West Ham teammate Said Benrahma

The Algeria international was at the heart of everything good that we did as a team last night, and he was handed the Man of the Match award.

Hopefully his performance last night gives him great confidence.

Jarrod Bowen’s comments after the game certainly should, that’s for sure. The 25-year-old West Ham ace lavished praise upon his teammate, when speaking on Sky Sports last night (Monday October 24th, 10:09pm):

“Said scored a brilliant penalty. He buried it, and I thought he was brilliant tonight. That’s the quality Said has got, I see it every day in training, the one v one ability, creating things for others and getting shots away. We saw it tonight, he was a real bright spark and to get his goal as well, I’m so happy for him.”

Benrahma is clearly very popular amongst his teammates at the London Stadium.

I strongly feel like this could be his time to really kick on now and show everyone what he’s capable of.

It would certainly help if David Moyes backed Benny in his post-match press conferences.

But it’s nice to hear the likes of Jarrod Bowen offering his West Ham teammate Sadi Benrahma the praise that he so rightly deserves.
