Did anyone see benteke put a half hearted attempt to get the ball near the end before it ran out of play. That to me was enough to say no more.

It really not sensible to have two tall No.9's playing together.

Needs time to get up to speed with the PL and from what I have seen he will do just fine.

Haven't much from Sorloth to suggest he's any good yet. Seems to be terrible at shooting.

I'd give Sorloth some time. He is strong and confident on the ball, and when nobody is supporting him he holds up the ball well and looks up to assess his options. He was only dispossessed a couple of times tonight. Yes we will need him to score goals and perhaps he will when he can play in a more central position.

I think the problem is he is pretty much the exact same type of player as Benteke, so having both on at the same time doesn't make sense to me. Of course we have no bench, so they have to be on at the same time. Once we went up 2-0, Benteke/Sorloth were useless at helping maintain possession and taking pressure off our defense. That isn't their game. We needed Zaha most in the second half of this match, to run the ball down field and take some time off the clock. He's great at that.
