I think both things are true. He's missed chances he should have scored, but the service hasn't been as good as last year, or the same as last year. I've mentioned it before, but if you look at the goals he did score last year, many of them were from us getting early balls into the box, allowing Benteke to get in between two defenders. Think of Boro or Everton away last year. That's where his goals against Leicester and West Ham came from as well, and where he has come closest with chances, the header against Utd for example. It's something we haven't done as much this season. Yes, he should still have scored more goals, but it doesn't mean that we aren't necessarily playing to what we know his strengths are.

Oh well - sounds like he may now also be injured for Bournemouth so those who do not wish him to play will be able to see how we fare without him.

Unfortunately all we have is an unproven giant from Iceland who has come in for a big price and you guessed it, he is injured just like the other 50 percent of our first team. Don't get me wrong, I have big hopes for Sorloth, he looks fantastic from what I have seen so far. But he has something to prove. Benteke proved it last in many seasons prior.

The EPL? You sound like a Johnny come lately tourist fan using this acronym. No offence intended but it just grinds my gears. It’s what the news anchors in non footballing countries call our beloved football league. None taken ! yeah, i use that to wind up a couple of chelsea pals at work when they try and wind me up about relegation and winning nothing ever, i say im happy to just stay in the epl, and how city are the best team ever, a credit to the epl, they bite every time!

On night shift so missed the game but sounds like we conceded late on by a corner, I will give it to Benteke he does alot of good in defence especially at corners, just posting that as I've roasted him all season on this thread ( and rightly so) but that part of his game is very good.
