KHV Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Thought he was crap today. Poor movement, woeful finishing, dreadful first touch and for a big man hardly won a header all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted September 30, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted September 30, 2012 We need to him to improve markedly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 He started well, then went a little iffy at times with his touch - did really well to create the chance for himself but showed his inexperience/youth with the finish. There's a lot of potential there. Saying he's like Carlton Cole is the biggest load of tosh ever - Cole made absolutely no effort for us at any time, Benteke is working hard for the team.

He reminds me a lot of heskey/carlton cole in the way he plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas_Mike Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Can't believe the over reactions on here! I don't think anyone is over reacting. I know I am not. I think what we are saying is he needs time to adapt and maybe coming on as a sub will be more benefical to him and the team. Hey this is Villatalk he will get 2 bad games before being declared a bust!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Because he is big, strong has an iffy first touch and snatches at his chances when presented with. He also throws in the odd air shot like today and swansea. He doesnt look like a twenty goal striker to me, more of a 10 goal striker and maybe someone who we can hoof it to at the end of a game if we need to chuck him on.

Dr_Pangloss Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 One minute he's the next Drogba, the next he's the next Ade Akinbiyi. Let's give him time, he's still very raw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted September 30, 2012 Moderator Share Posted September 30, 2012 I see a lot of Savo in him tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danceoftheshamen Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I think we have to remember he is only 21.. I like the look of him actually & can see him developing into some player in time with the right coaching. It's just a case of how quickly & well he learns really.

smetrov Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I see a lot of Savo in him tbh Yep - Perhaps a bit more power and a tad less skill than Savo- but that ability to do the Bizzare then the brilliant - very Savo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 He'll be a frustrating player for a while. He's best used as a sub until he finds his way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
