Grasshopper Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 lets hope Pardew just keeps on doing enough to keep his job. Beneteke will want a move to a big club at the end if this season. lets hope we are the only Big club interested in strengthening our frontline for the premier league after promotion.

villa_shere Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Saw Benteke trending on twitter l, amazing how much stick he gets, specially from those gobshite Liverpool fans. Benteke has scored more league goals than any of their players and scoring recording is top quality. He has huge flaws but if he keeps putting the ball in the net he's doing his job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't think I've ever met a Liverpool fan who talks any kind of sense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 anybody criticizing his performance today knows nothing about football. Palace wingers were playing full back and he received absolute zero service from a manager who played to keep the score down hope he brought a book or an Ipod for his lonely stroll up front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 id find it hilarious if he ended up being relegated, don't think palace will go down mind, but I'd still find it funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Will score a decent number of goals but will never get a shot at the big time again. The damage is done, his reputation is tarnished. Will probably spend another 18 months at Palace, achieve decent figures, then a move to West Brom and Watford before finally winding his career down in the MLS. His agent should be shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gharperr Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) one main gripe ive always had here about westwood is about his floaty corners bollocks...Didnt lambert say "if your best header'r of the ball wants certain cross you do whatever he wants". And ive noticed townsand doing the exact same for C.P. Just feel a lot of the "blame" for that should have gone towards benteke rather westwood. dont think any of them should have blame though tbh. --------------------------------- "his agent should be shot". why? Do you think his agent was turning down moves from teams higher than liverpool? You think everybody in the country didnt know the exact strengths/weaknesses he had? He had to show he can overcome some pretty strong weaknesses for a move to top team. And he never for liverpool. Dont see why agent is wrong for any of that though? if he was genuinely top team material. 32m would be a steal for any top team. But they didnt think he was worth it at end of day. just falls into category of defoe/bent/bony/ (maybe lukaku) type strikers who are super valuable for under top 7~ teams Edited January 5, 2017 by gharperr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a "funny" few years for him, whilst he's been paid a fortune and praised as one of Europes top strikers he's been in a dog shit Villa side before moving to Liverpool and barely getting a game and then to Palace and back to where he was with Villa. Its probably quite hard for him to get his head round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Palace getting smashed at crisis club West Ham. Anyone out there who actually thinks they'll get relegated? I think it's a lazy assumption just to say they'll stay up just because Big Sam is there as they're not a good team at all. Also have a look at their fixture list...these are the aways they've got left... Bournemouth Stoke West Brom Chelsea Southampton Liverpool Man. City and Man. United. Need 20 points from somewhere. Lots of 6 pointers at home but they've lost 7/10 at home this season. They remind me a lot of Newcastle last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 It's also lazy to say they'll get their points at home... but they will IMO. They score enough goals to win games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They score enough goals to win games. There will be a lot of pressure at home...they were awful at home to Swansea recently. Looking at their aways I'm struggling to see them actually winning an away game so they could need as many as 6 home wins from their last 9...that's a very big ask. Pardew messed up their winnable away games at Hull and Swansea so think they'll pay the price for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said this over and over again. I also said that even if it was Westwood's decision, why wasn't one of the 3 managers we had whilst he was doing it saying "Yeah that doesn't work so **** change it!" Unfortunately, Westwood is too much of a scapegoat for people to realise that 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Got slated on Motd... Good player but does seem attitude will ruin him (even here he was lazy and petulant at times) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Still hit the crossbar with a great header and looked threatening at times though, When Allardyce sorts out getting a couple of new defenders in and Zaha comes back they will stay up easily enough with Benteke due to go on a good run at some stage.

KJT123 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 What a great goal. One of the most composed strikers in front of goal in modern football IMO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 A good goal but he has had some poor performances this season for Palace, missing too many chances and general poor play. I hope he kicks on under Sam as there is no doubt he had stagnated in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
