Thing is that this version of the Mags is, undeniably, his version made up predominantly of his signings, coached in his style, motivated by him.
Of the 18 man squad at the weekend, by my reckoning only Dummett, Lascelles, Shelvey, Perez and Darlow (the sub keeper) weren't Benitez signings. Looking at the rest of the squad, aside from the kids, the only other player that was there before him is Rob Elliot (third choice keeper).
