LondonLax Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Well the hype around him has died right down. I suspect we will be able to keep him another season with the inconsistency he is showing at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillakevBromsgrove Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 dont be so sure, he will no doubt have a great world cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilchard Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Another dogs dinner tonight. People going on about being able to keep him. Why would we want to if he's not scoring goals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyjsg Posted February 11, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted February 11, 2014 Nearly got an assist tonight. Was bobbins for most of the game, but popped up with a few nice touches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MessiWillSignForVilla Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 His passing was decent tonight, his backheel to set up Gabby's chance was pretty nice. He wasn't good enough with his finishing tonight though, if he'd shown up tonight we could have really battered them in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grobs Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I don't honestly see the hype with him tbh. Any striker in our team will be top goalscorer regardless of quality because we play one up top. I don't think it would be a bad idea dropping him for a game and giving him a kick up the arse.

foreveryoung Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Still played well, though looking frustrated to me! Convinced now he has shown quality, the players are expecting far to much from him, including Lambert! He cant feed of scraps when being marked so much! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 His link up play and ability to hold the ball up is in a different class. He just needs to get his finishing boots on, no need for him to be slated tonight IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted February 11, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted February 11, 2014 Should've scored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 My main problem with him at the moment is that when he has a chance, if it doesn't come off he put his hands to his head rather than staying alert for a ricochet back to him or a defensive error. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benireduk Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 He cuts a frustrated figure to me. It's all the hand gestures when he doesn't get the ball. Is it me but I don't remember that last season? It wouldn't hurt our players giving him some better service every now and again. Pretty sure he'd have buried Gabby's chance.

HeyAnty Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Id like him to be more selfish. Feck passing when he should go direct himself and shoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.I.C.O. Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Won't be going to the world cup at this rate. I doubt he'll get his "dream" move either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh621 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 The problem for me personally isn't Benteke. Its the lack of creative play. If he was fed he'd score. Made a few nice passes today, especially the back heel which Gabby should have finished, and got a few headers which were unfortunately blocked.

foreveryoung Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 He is top quality!! Watch and weep when he smashes them in for Arsenal next season. We are killing a great player here an Lambert is not helping the cause!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Ok were not creative, still doest excuse that benteke should have had at least 2-3 goals from the last two games, hes not the first player to look incredible for a season and then fade away and he wont be the last. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icouldtelltheworld Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 You can see how low on confidence he is - the Benteke of last season would've tried to score once he had the ball in the box, not look for a pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Ronaldo would struggle to score in this team. Was going to say exactly this. Would do very well in any team that isn't completely shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssexVilla Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) Don't see the problem tbh. Ok, he wasn't at the level we were expecting last season but he still created Gabby's sitter and the westwood/weimann chance. On another day/in a better team he'd have created 2 goals and everyone would be singing his praises. IMO opinion peoples hopes have been overexaggerated amdhis good play is disregarded in the expectation that everything is perfect. In a better team he would look significantly better. Still at least it may allow him to stay with us for another year. Edited February 12, 2014 by EssexVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
