Don’t see a change to being the lowest scorers while we continue to play with nine behind the ball regardless of the opposition, while we continue to play across the pitch or backwards allowing the opposition to regroup, and while our coaching appears to be exclusively devoted to defending with no visible regard to working on our forward play.

Every team plays with 9,10, 11 players behind the ball when they don't have the ball. It is what they call in football, DEFENDING.

we got more points than a lot tho...

Think leaking goals is far more dangerous then scoring few. Wish it would be different but that is how it is at the moment. Scrounging for points with a blunt attack and few players with attacking threat. Let's hope last Saturday was a one off.

Surely we all know Benteke is on huge wages and we literally can’t give him away, unless we want to pay him to play for someone else.

Possibly offering the likes of him and Wickham new contracts is harder to understand but I guess, financially, they see it as worthwhile investment…

I think we’ve paid so much for Wickham's wages and recuperation that we’re just praying that he can prove his fitness enough to be sold for an actual transfer fee.

Possibly similar with Benteke. I think we’re still desperately hoping that he finally goes on a scoring run and he would actually be saleable. Good money after bad it may be but I think transfer fees are so high these days that it’s probably seen as worth the gamble.

I'm just guessing. It's only a rumour that Benteke is being offered a new contract anyway.
