sne Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I've said it before and I'll say it again, Benteke and Lukaku are often compared to one another because of their race and stature. They're both big, strong, quick Belgian players of Congolese descent. For me though they're very far apart in terms of playing style and Benteke clinches it as the better all-round striker. Their best attributes are that they are big, strong and quick. So I find it naturally to compare them when they fight for the same spot for the same national team. Who is Harder Better Faster Stronger? SCOOTER!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always find it odd that Mourinho said he didn't like how Benteke plays, because for me Benteke plays very similar to Drogba. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because Mourinho is like a child. If Benteke played for Chelsea he'd be the best player of his generation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amo69 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 He said a lot of stupid things after that game even though we were robbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 When Benteke is on his game he's better than Lukaku but he has produced some performances like Lukaku did against Algeria for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 You have to also consider that Lukaku is 3 years younger then Benteke and will improve more over that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Been little updates on Benteke. I hope he is healing quicker than he is due in October. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SikhInTrinity Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 You have to also consider that Lukaku is 3 years younger then Benteke and will improve more over that time. That's what Drogba has said, he will improve the element of him playing with his back to goal. At the minute he's always looking to play on shoulders of defenders.

Amo69 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Mantis in reply to your thread about us moving away from relegation I'd say the reason for that was mainly this man. Without him I really fear for us. I don't know the point with or without him over the past 2 seasons but I'm pretty sure they will show how important he really is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, but I bet our points ratio pre-injury (August-September) and post-injury (January-March) is pretty decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
