R.Bear Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 He didn't though. He's been more like Benteskey and less Benteke this season Seriously? 5 goals in 9 appearances isn't bad at all, and let's not forget he's not been fully fit since that Norwich game. Essentially 2 of those were pens and one was against Rotherham. He has been injured and has no service and but he hasn't been as effective as last season. I'm not blaming him but its hard to disagree with that statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) He's still in a completely different league to Heskey. He's not been as effective as last season (so far) but FFS that doesn't mean he's comparable to Heskey.

I agree the doubling up has stifled him, doesn't help that gabby and andi don't seem to be benefitting from him being doubled up anymore, the end of last season we seemed to work our way around it, this season we have abandoned it and now just seem to hoof it to him one of about 6 players who just haven't looked right so far this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SikhInTrinity Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Not worried at all about Benteke, even with the limited service, he could have easily scored in every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Not worried at all about Benteke, even with the limited service, he could have easily scored in every game. Me neither fed off scraps against West Ham, i thought he looked quite sharp. Goals will come. no worries there. There's only two players in the Villa side i don't worry about thats him and Guzan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avflife Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) Actually hasn't doing anything to impress me this season expect score a few goals, nothing to replicated what he did last season. Edited November 5, 2013 by Avflife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swerbs Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Feed him and he will score, just won't score as many on his own this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponky Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) He is close to a goal. He'll run rampant on the weekend I reckon. Edited November 5, 2013 by Ponky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Step up to the plate then Gabby and Weimann. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I think besides his injury, the 3 upfront have not been firing, they all rely on each other...their movement and synchro has not been there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I afraid of two things next game ..Playing kozak instead of Weimann .. Or playing without a proper left back .. 1) Kozak really doesn't deserve the relentless bashing he gets on here considering he's barely played 2) Weimann has done absolutely nothing all season and I'm personally looking forward to him not being in the starting XI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
