AntrimBlack Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 At the moment he is beginning to look like the £7million player we thought we had bought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabby Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 He is the type of player who needs to be running at the ball to get the best out of him, we generally use him to hold the ball up with his back to goal, we are using him wrong and doing him an injustice. I have no doubt if he changed teams he will flourish. We have seen he is decent with ball at feet but he is just used as a target man to flick the ball on.God only knows why Lambert has paired him alongside Holt twice now ..

GasGasGas Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Whats his problem? miss after miss. Had a tap in today and missed the ball! Always fails to release the ball quick enough, Deserves to be dropped he cant be kept in from last seasons form Dropped? For who? Holt? Or Bowery? Our other attackers today - Gabby, Holt, Weimann - what did they even do as they were next to invisible except from a couple of good moments from Gabby and Weimann?

Voinjama Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I thought his performance was OK. A t least he is getting in the right areas to get the chances. I also think he is working harder for the team now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 When he leaves us for a better team he's going to be unstoppable It is beginning to look more like an`if' than a `when'. We were all elated when he stayed in the summer, but in hindsight I wonder if it might not have been better had he been sold then, provided the money from his sale had been reinvested in the team, and provided that Lambert would have been capable of using the money sensibly.

Voinjama Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Benteke staying with the club was the correct decision. If he had left what message would that of sent to the other player's. They would of wanted to leave too. It may of started a domino effect. Also he has had some good performances, especially at the start of the season. If Benteke had left I believe the club would have been in a worse position. I'm not confident the £25 million would have been invested wisely.

Voinjama Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 People keep questioning is attitude, I don't think there is anything wrong with his attitude. He is simply off form and getting frustrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 You don't lose his quality. Lambert is killing him with his pathetic signings and dire tactics. At little like he killed Bent off!! Teams are now defending the strike force knowing that the midfield cant do shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I know benteke is a lot better than we saw saturday but i have to admit i don't think he is the player i thought he was, talk about our tactics and being a marked man and all the rest of it but he just hasn't looked the same. Plenty of strikers have been ridiculous for a season and then faded away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Teams have worked us out this season. Mark the strikers i.e Benteke out the game and we don't have much else. All we do is by pass our midfield to the strikers its not to hard to defend against. Benteke has been nullified by shite tactics. Give him service and he will do the business 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think this summer, whether Benteke is sold or not, will give us an indication of whether Lerner intends to put adequate money into the team.

1974Centenary Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Benteke looked a lot more dangerous once Albrighton came on,hes never going to score unless he gets the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
