Dr_Pangloss Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Excellent debut, showed great strength and hold up play, also has a good touch on him, he also took his goal very well. Yes he missed a sitter but as long has he is getting into positions he´ll get his fair share here. Early days but I´m cautiously optimistic about him.

AndyBM Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 we definitely shouldnt get too carried away just yet, hes not quite a drogba kind of player just yet (arrogant but you know he can deliver) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hercs23 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 For me everyting that was good about benteke against swansea he just didnt do against saints. All we were doin was launching the ball up to him and trying to get the knock on for bent. Against swans he was holding it up and getting everyone involved. He has to do this at wba to be most effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TezzRexx Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Thought he had a great first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lp_villa830 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Looks to me like his just a stronger and taller version of Bent. Not great technically and will miss a few but if given the service will always been in the right place to get a pop at goal. Has to be one of Bent/Benteke Poachers and Gabby/Weiman.

Delphinho123 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 The main thing that worried me about Benteke today was his work rate. We cant have someone alongside Bent who doesnt at least work the channels or bust a gut to get into decent positions. I wouldn't worry too much about the long ball thing, Lambert obv. set his stall out like that based on what he's seen on Southampton this season. Im sure against WBA we will be different. Ireland is a massive loss to our team though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Was the 1st player down the tunnel without acknowledging the away support today Think it was a mistake to drop Weimann today but lets see the response Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I would play benteke with wiemann and bent with gabby but not bent with benteke or wiemann with gabby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Not a starter for me. Not yet. Gabby and Bent should be first choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Yeah agreed, Drop benteke and start weimann or Gabby with Bent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AValon Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 We're going to see the best (or worst) of this guy in flashes. He does'nt look a 90min player, which for a professional footballer seems ridiculous, but he does'nt. Maybe he's going to have us salivating one game, then head-butting the wall the next?

Dodgyknees Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Weimann needs to start, been very very impressed with him this season. One goal and he will go on a run, he works hard and isn't lacking ability on the ball. Benteke will be a good player but like most of the signings, it needs time.

SolihullVilla Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 So this guy has played about 100 minutes of football and we already seem to have judged him, last week he was great this week no good? Question - are some people to quick to make a decision about somebody, maybe a society problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemond2008 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 So this guy has played about 100 minutes of football and we already seem to have judged him, last week he was great this week no good? Question - are some people to quick to make a decision about somebody, maybe a society problem? smetrov wrote this in the lambert thread and I agree with him people see a game and then give an opinion on how the rest of the season will pan out - seems reasonable to me. no one is saying ''he is shite dont ever let him kick a ball for us again'' people are judging him on what they have seen and are well aware that opinions may/will change the more we see him its early day''s but if he had played 100 minutes of football and scored 4 goals I doubt if you would be saying ''please dont get excited we have barely seen him play he mite be absolute gash next week, lets wait and see'' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBM Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 i think for the next few months benteke would be better used as more aof an impact sub, its early day to allow him to start, i agree with weimann to start over benteke, but whos to say how he will pan out in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Gabby to start with Christian being a benchteke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolihullVilla Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Players have bad games and good ones, to say for instance he either is or isn't a first choice striker is mad. Fact is time will tell with him, but I guarantee if he scored a hat trick next weekend he would be 'the best forward we have had in years'. People are to quick to judge in life and perhaps need a little patience to see how it all pans out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBM Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 awful, Richard lol youre absolutely right, but we need points, and its a gamble to play a striker who we dont know can deliver regularly but saying that, none of our strikers are consistant anyway :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepDish Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Would have liked to see him work harder. But the ball where he played Bent free (Bent should really have made it 2-0 then) was great, and shows that he also can serve the other players. I think he will be able to partner both Bent and Agbonlahor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
