TreeVillan Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 The thing with Benteke is that he rarely blasts the ball. If you look at most of his goals, he carefully places/bends the ball past the keeper. He must see things in slow motion, he's that deft. No he doesn't. He'll place the ball and blast it (against the Baggies for one) when needed. It's called finishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted August 8, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 8, 2013 That goal was fantastic IMO. We havnt had someone who can hit the ball that hard since der hammer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa89 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Yeah but if he keeps banging in like that next season then I honestly can say I feel he deserves to play for a team that takes the medals. Shame we aren`t it but thats the way it is now. If he gets another 19 Premier League goals next season don't worry he'll be playing at team that takes the medals the following season. We'll get a wad of cash for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) can't speak highly enough of this player....I think also he will have such a massive rub off in confidence on all the other young lads it will spread through the side.

KjParton Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 ^ That was a stunner to be fair. Didn't match of the day say it was like 70mph as the ball smashed the net? I don't know which one I think was his best last season (so many to choose from). I think his towering header vs Sunderland was up there tbh. I mean he jumped the height of the friggen cross bar (from a standing jump!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean he jumped the height of the friggen cross bar (from a standing jump!) The one against Reading was similar, and it capped off an unbelievable all around performance. He was absolutely massive that game, won everything, and it was a pretty crucial goal too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnmacf Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 78mph from a virtual stand still when he jinks/fakes the other way. Keeper didn't stand a chance in fairness. Serious power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwivillan Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Anyone confident enough to start him in fantasy. I am holding off till after GW3 where us and Chelsea not involved. I know there is a forum for VT fantasy football but why is it so dead? There are pages of discussion on a general Australian sports portal. Australian!!!

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I've got him, Berbatov and Weimann as my front 3, I think he is capable against anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing you don't have 3 Chelsea players otherwise you're stuck with a team of 10 one week? I hope we do well against the teams above as a Villa fan but because of the double week I'm not going any Villa players in fantasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folski Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) Was out Sunday in Galway with a WBA supporting friend of mine, whiskey was flowing, anyway we did a bet on how many goals would Christian get next season, €20 for the winner. There I was thinking it was 15 and it might be a bit of a stretch, couldn't remember for the life of me, so I text him there and asked him how many was it and he replied 10! Beautiful.
