That's exactly what he is doing; stealing wages & someone else's place in the team.

Yes I think delivering service to Benteke as much as possible (and fvck the 250 Zaha step overs in dribbles to the near post before losing it every match) is possibly Roy’s only chance of saving his and our skin. He should’ve been adding this into the mix anyway. We can still pass the ball around, just now and then not wait for the oppo to get everyone behind th ball every time we have it, which actually meant EIGHT players defending or confronting our ONE player with the ball in the box seeing as we had SIX fvcking players around the centre circle marking TWO Sheff Utd players.

Unless we get a loan striker in then this is our only option to add to some of the good stuff in 2 x one minute spells v Everton and nothing to mention v Sheff Utd.

I know we start slowly and Zaha needs to clear his head, but those were long term players yesterday and last season’s v Everton and although I’m not surprised as I predicted 0-1 points after 4 games, it’s still unacceptable.

That was my point. We can’t change players now until January, we have nothing to lose (can’t possibly worse than yesterday) and everything to gain.

Tekkers confidence is shot to sh*t and no amount of money can buy that. It’s no use moaning about how much the fella earns, just need to find away to get him scoring (which Big Sam did).get the ball in nice and quick. The bloke has played and scored for his country, was wanted by all the big boys when he was at villa, it’s all about confidence I’m sure a couple of scruffy goals will get him going.

For the record, I’m not a big fan of Tekkers, but while he is wearing the red and blue I’d rather see the team set up to try and get him firing again.

Honestly, the way we set up, shearer, Owen and Henry would struggle.

Its seems that we blame the service to Tekkers for him not scoring, but with the same service Batashui came in and did the job perfectly well in the same position.

At the end of the day Wilf need to play on the left and Roy needs to stop expecting Tekkers to score when he is sat up front on his own with 5 defenders around him.

It hasnt worked for 2 years so why is going to work now ?.

It is the service at fault and comparing him to Bat is silly they play different type of game.

The current tactics are not fit for Benteke and with him having such low confidence as well that wont help.

Roy needs to change things otherwise no point playing Benteke.

The other thing which is annoying is Roy has him coming back all the time defending as well and when he gets in oppositions box Zaha every time slows things up having to take players on with the over the top tricks rather then whip in quick balls

when Big Sam was in charge he stopped this it was all balls go forward and quick direct balls thats why we started seeing Benteke scoring again.

Not all is awful slow play and players messing about with the ball always coming inside then wondering why their is no space or losing the ball.

Benteke did sod all yesterday, as did others.

However, the number of times where we were on an 'attack' (we had the ball in their half) and Benteke was the only person in the Sheff Utd box, with 4/5 defenders around him, was incredible.

Which one of our midfielders is looking to make a run into the box and take a defender's attention?
