And yet we only had him fit for a third of last season. He might as well have been out of action from October to January. If all goes well we should have him fit and healthy for half of next season.Even then what's the with and without points ratio from last season?
I'll try and work it out when get a bit of time. I don't know, but I bet our points ratio pre-injury (August-September) and post-injury (January-March) is pretty decent.
Which is cause for concern right? We could already be down and out before he returns
In a way but as I just said, we only had a fit Benteke for about a third of last season. If we're lucky we could get at least half a season out of him this year.
And no, I think the chances of us being "down and out" by the end of the year are very very slim. Let's not start exaggerating here.
I don't get how that is exaggerating. If the majority of our points are gained when he is on the pitch and he is not back until half the season is passed, there is a chance their could be no way back. Look at QPR as an example.
