I do think the current system doesn't favour him which is why he is not looking so great also just think of it this way you are being asked to do something you are not best at and dont like this tends to effect you I think this is large case with him. the other things are his attitude he does appear lie nice guy but he has that vibe about him like a arrogance/cockiness which doesn't come across well his penalty misses show this (just compare ronaldo penalty to bentekes last minute ones big difference) with the players we have defoe would of been perfect for us but i do think if roy changed it so zaha and townsend put balls in box benteke could be scoring more we dont really do this anymore and when we do both players mostly zaha mess about on the ball rather then quick ball in. Maybe it's just me. But although we maybe haven't played to his strengths (by which I asume you mean crossing the ball straight onto his head on the penalty spot),surely we should expect a 30m striker on 120k a week to he able to score with his feet too? He's had 22 very good chances this season, quite a few one on ones with the keeper and scored 2. So although we may not be playing to his strengths, surely we should expect a lot better?

He used to score goals like this: I don't think he has the confidence to do so at the moment and would probably just blast it against the keepers legs.

Completely agree, all this system chat might explain him not scoring 17 again, but it doesn't explain the clear cut chances he is spurning week in week out. We are actually making decent chances, he has missed a league high chances.

When he took the ball off Luca that was the end as far as I'm concerned - arrogant prick

Agreed, and his missed chances have put us in this position.

If it wasn't for injuries he would have gone last transfer window, we won't go down the rest of the team have got alot of fight and quality to stay in the PL. If it turns out we do end up in the championship next season, it's Benteke's own fault, not the rest of the team but his. Call me whatever i don't give a flying f*** it just does my head in when some Hol'ers see that Benteke is doing nothing wrong. He's proved it by underperforming and non-contributing displays in every match, i feel sorry for SP having to pay him his wages every week it's sickening what Benteke's doing and it's got to end this summer not good enough for Palace and it's fan's.

He is in fact paying homage to the Benny Hill classic ‘Ting A Ling A Loo’; the B-side of ‘Ernie - The Fastest Milkman in the West’. “Remember what old Gladstone said in eighteen-ninety-two.... So leave him alone!
