Wainy316 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 He absolutely has to score a bucketload if we are to have any chance of staying up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) A bit better today but NOWHERE near how he used to be before the injury. Edited March 1, 2015 by briny_ear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 1, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted March 1, 2015 A bit better today but NOWHERE near how he used to be before the injury. Not in terns of quality. But he did look like he wanted it again That's a start, I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 he was doing shooting practice all week so I think he realised himself he needed to get finger out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calcifer Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 The 1st thing he needs to do is learn the offside rule, if only been caught offside counted as a goal we would be mid table now! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Costa is offside alot too, so say no more. That reminds me, is it true we haven't had a penalty this season? Strange stat that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomh621 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 There was an interesting statistic from commentators the other day highlighting the fact that Benteke has had nowhere near as much as the ball as he's had in his previous seasons. Cant remember it though - does anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 There was an interesting statistic from commentators the other day highlighting the fact that Benteke has had nowhere near as much as the ball as he's had in his previous seasons. Cant remember it though - does anyone else? Yea it was something like he has had less than half the amount of touches this season than he did the previous one. Needs the ball to score goals. We keep using him just to flick headers to the opponent's defense and it doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last match, Benteke did almost so much than the rest of the team altogether. Edit: typo. Edited March 3, 2015 by Majkee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Yeah they just need to get the ball to this guy. Last game he was throwing himself about just to try and get something on the poor balls he was getting. When he tried the second overhead kick I was hoping that was the last cause I was worried he'd do himself an injury trying to get on the end of something. We need to play it simple loft it to him, let him head it down to Gil and let Gil play it to his feet in a shooting position. It's not hard surely..

Thats only been in two games to be fair and hes played better in those two than he has all season barring the Spurs game. Maybe thats just because the ball is going somewhere near him now rather than just keeping it in the mid field until we lose it. Get it to his feet quickly and watch him go.

AndyC Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 If anybody needs to score tonight its this guy. His confidence seemed to grow on sat but if he don't get a couple of goals soon it will start to fade again. Does anybody know the lowest amount of goals scored in a season and survived the drop?

Belgian guy Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 But besides his duels i must admit he was poor in the 2nd half. hope this goal gives him his confidence back. That penalty though I almost crapped my pants tbh it would be typical if he had missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
