Kwan Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 I think he's turning the corner. Played a little bit like his normal self against Fulham. Would help if we played a little better around him, but he's slowly getting there. I'm confident he'll get going again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Must be hard playing alongside Weimann, who has been awful so far this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Well he has scored more goals this season than at this point last season! I think was about now that people were calling him a donkey and the next Heskey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I hate all the bullshit about whether he's **** interested or not, it's so stupid. He's not the most emotional guy, he had the exact same reserved demeanor on the pitch when he was playing well last season as he does now. The only difference was he was playing well. Now that he's struggling (and isn't getting much help), it's disinterest. Being reserved in his reactions and everything is just how he acts, it's not that he doesn't give a shit. spot on, its too easy to say he's not interested and will leave in January just because he's going through a lean patch. Could easily have scored a couple on sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pembers Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 He even looks off the pace and like he can't be bothered in the Christmas present wrapping video. Got an awful time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 He's our top scorer and he's been terrible. I think he'll be able to do some damage on Sunday. One goal will bring him back from the dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SikhInTrinity Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 He's desperate for a goal, but still had chances against Fulham. Just needs one to give himself a boost. He'll be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwivillan Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Thing is with Benteke he could score a goal early and go bananas regardless of the opposition even Manure. God I hope it's against Manure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan_007 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) The one person who knows he needs to start banging in the goals to a) be first choice at the world cup and b, to get his big money move out of here is Christian Benteke. He will come good, still a yard of the pace for me and is now a known danger man. Senderous for example bascially sat on his shoulders all game. He'll come good.

Zatman Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 thought he did ok vs fulham, he got into positions but jsut not happening in front of goal, he reminds me a bit like papiss cisse was last season. I think if he gets a goal he will burst back into life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I am also of the opinion that a goal could change it all its not like hes an average player who had a good season and is now struggling to replicate it everyone saw what he can do last season and the ability is undoubtedly there. Football is baffling sometimes with stuff like this. The van nistelrooy ketchup bottle quote is quite apt here, lets hope it happens that way.

I think if he gets a goal he will burst back into lifeI hope its nothing like Papiss Cisse, as he’s shit.I thought he looked good as did we at the start of the Fulham game, they looked weak and devoid of confidence, its just a shame we didn't continue and went shit fast!Its not all down to our play, its not the teams fault when he miss controls it or doesn't pass properly.

Kiwivillan Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 It's obvious Benteke has massively underperformed since return from injury but what can you say about Weimann and Gabby? They've virtually been on walkabout all season. Why was that splendid goal against the only one from Gabby all season. 3 assists in the first 5 games and then nothing besides the Soton game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were sticking much wider last year and for some reason - natural instinct maybe - are coming in much narrower this season which is clogging up the area around Tekkers.

Morpheus Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Can't see Lambert allowing them to do that DK without specific instruction which is probably why we are conceding less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've virtually been on walkabout all season. Why was that splendid goal against the only one from Gabby all season. 3 assists in the first 5 games and then nothing besides the Soton game. Agreed. Gabby's form always dips for a while after injury but Weimann as been poor nearly most of the season. He looked lively and dangerous against Sunderland and cut a decent pass to Luna to go 1-3 against Arsenal, but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 As many of us keep saying, Gabby and Weimann keep crowding around him in the middle which isn't helping at all. Hope he gets some service from the wings on the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
