Here is a bit of advice for the Everton squad: watch football. Rafael Benitez will be grilling those reporting to Finch Farm this morning on the minutiae of Cadiz against Osasuna on Sunday. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
At Melwood, it was always the first question we were asked when lacing our boots. Did you watch the game last night? Hang on, what game? Oh, Getafe at Villarreal! Yeah, of course.
Jermaine Pennant was once blissfully unaware a Champions League semi-final had taken place. You should have seen Rafa’s face!
