TRO Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 He looks a bit out of sorts to me right now, probably still has the hangover from the previous depression..... when the lambert train leaves the station he will be back on board. He'll be ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted September 5, 2012 Moderator Share Posted September 5, 2012 Also, what a squad Belgium have at the minute!Bet they still don't qualify for WC 2014. I really hope they do and they damn well should. If they don't, the manager should be publically flogged. They're just 2nd favourites ahead of Serbia and behind Croatia. If they click they could be unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiggyrichard Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Just looking at his stats on Wiki, very impressive to be fair. 60 goals in 99 games since the age of 17 is really very impressive. Im assuming that he would'nt have started all those games either. He's 6 foot **** 5 aswell!!! :shock: Also at youth international right through to full international, his goal record is 25 goals in 42 appearnaces, again i can only assume that may not have started all those matches. Im not talking him up just because he is now a Villa player, but those stats are very very impressive! Thats a strike rate of 1.65 and 1.68 respectively!

BOF Posted September 5, 2012 Moderator Share Posted September 5, 2012 Oh I hope they do too (if only for Benteke's sake), it's just that they always seem to underachieve. They haven't had a line-up like this since the days of Enzo Scifo and even then I'm fairly sure they didn't have the 1 to 11 to compete with the current line-up. This is a golden generation of Belgians so I don't think they typically underachieve. I think they typically just don't have a very good team. But with this lot they do and their achievements need to change. IMO if they achieve nothing in the next 10 years of international football then they'll never ever achieve anything.

AVFCforever1991 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Alderweireld--Vertonghen--Kompany--Vermaelen Great defence. And in midfield they have players like Fellaini,Witsel,Defour,Dembele,Mertens and Hazard And With Benteke, Lukaku, Mirallas, Vossen.. The potential in this Belgium side is huge.

Rob182 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I'm going to say, right now.. £10 to VT if Dempsey scores more than Benteke this season! (Could be a bit risky... A young, foreign striker in a new league with a new team... but... I'm overdue for a donation anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrackpotForeigner Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Why do we have to have this STUPID international break. I wanna see him play NOOOOOOOOW. Fwiw I'm sure he'll start v Swansea. And I think he will score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
