Ikantcpell Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 You can't just suddenly go from being so awesome to being so crap, something must have happened behind the scenes that we don't know about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakid007 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 We need sum big performances from him more than ever. He needs to find his leap & aggression again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 He's doing a great impression of Darren Bent. Brilliant first season, patchy second and abysmal third Our track record with strikers in PL history is nothing short of disgraceful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papillon Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 You can't just suddenly go from being so awesome to being so crap, something must have happened behind the scenes that we don't know about. Yeah same here.... not necessarily a fall-out, but I think he has just lost all faith in Lambert. He should be the one to enjoy this moment the most, it will be interesting to see who comes in and what kind of football we can expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 He will score in the next game without Lambert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 i think he had avery good relationship with lambert. think he is definitely off in summer regardless if we stay up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 The new managers biggest task is getting the bloody ball to this fella and getting him firing again. Fingers crossed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 i think he had avery good relationship with lambert. think he is definitely off in summer regardless if we stay up Im not so sure. Don't think he was enjoying the new system. We will see if he gets his form back with a new manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 yeah thats a valid point. the new system seemed very anti tekkers which is odd as he is only one that can bang it in the net 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 The new managers biggest task is getting the bloody ball to this fella and getting him firing again. Fingers crossed. I mentioned Curbishley on the other thread, he managed to get Tevez firing at the right time for West Ham when they looked doomed and won 7 of their last 9 games to stay up. He's not hugely different to Benteke in some ways, unplayable on his day but could be next to useless if things aren't right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Get the team set up to suit him. I expect to see a change in benteke now that Lambert has gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Get the team set up to suit him. I expect to see a change in benteke now that Lambert has gone. Hope so. He just seemed completely bereft of confidence under Lambert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted February 13, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) He looked bereft of confidence against Hull but he needs games. It's weird. He looked totally bereft of confidence before the contract and not much has changed since. Get the team set up to suit him. I expect to see a change in benteke now that Lambert has gone. Hope so. He just seemed completely bereft of confidence under Lambert. I hope for our survival sake now lamberts gone, he actually realises he's a footballer and actually does something positive in a game. Interesting to see if he even gets game time under another manager. His confidence always looked a little, dare I say, bereft? Our players are really bereft of confidence aren't they?!

villa89 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Gil and Benteke are the players that can keep us up. If we get them on form then we'll stay up otherwise we are boned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 i think he had avery good relationship with lambert. think he is definitely off in summer regardless if we stay up I can't see him leaving for a pay cut, and I can't see him getting a pay rise on current form. Unless he starts scoring lots of goals I expect he'll stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic_bouma Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I want him up front with a partner against Leicester. Put Weimann or Gabby close to him and I'm sure we will see him score on Sunday. The marshalls should be watching videos of when he went on that scoring spree last year and noticing how we were getting the ball into him. If he isn't gonna score on Sunday then I'd at least like Pearson to grab his shirt and try to pin him down. That would be interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see how a plain old 4-4-2 would work too. Maybe if we had two players up front one of them might score a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonic_bouma Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Hoof it to him. Obviously we don't want this to happen all game. But I think there is an argument for getting the ball into him via the air or ground even if it's just to get him used to doing what he does best again. He's been a passenger far too much in this current system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
