But he did have quite a few long balls out of defence and from goalkeeper that he never got on end of or showed any effort. That's the problem with him lack of effort .Him and Watkins like chalk and cheese and Watkins wasn't getting lots of high balls or crosses either .Sometimes just movement and effort are enough. Your asking a big Powerful CF like benteke to play like quick and nimble Watkins. Mate If we sold Benteke I guarantee he would score goals elsewhere we already have a more accomplished player like Watkins in Batshuayi. Its how we are playing not the f***inf strikers it's obvious.

Total donkey. Also reliably informed by my son that he’s in the top five all time players caught offside in the Premier League. Too many excuses. Twenty chances missed from twenty three in 2017-18 the worst stats in Europe. 23 chances to score in a full season what about when he banged in 17 pre Hodgson we just gonna write that off.

Twenty “good” chances missed from 23 in Roy’s first season. He missed chance after chance and started the following season the same. I was taken aback by how lazy he was when he first joined but sort of accepted it because of the goals. He actually went some way to dropping us in the sh1t by missing a couple of big penalties against West Ham and Watford before his final effort against Bournemouth.

Not asking him to play like Watkins just to make movement and look interested yes he is a big powerful bloke but does not show it on pitch which again is frustrating .He has had plenty of goalscoring chances last year and this year .If he went to a championship or lower club yes he would score goals but he wouldn't in premiership nowadays he is finished. The statistics don't lie.

So what chances did he get today that your digging him out for he scored 3 in 3 before today and he has never had good chances at palace lets be honest we don't create enough most strikers miss most of their good chances but their teams get them more then outs does.

Beg to differ if you think he hasn't had chances at palace you are joking Recently should have had second the other night against West Ham . No he didn't have chances today but not moving or showing interest does not help him .Was offside more times than on .I will dig him out because he is now out of his depth for whatever reason.He even looks disinterested.Again the statistics don't lie.

Yes, was our hero two weeks ago. has scored half of our goals in last 4 games, was unlucky to be sent off at west ham or might have got more and not banned, give our on form striker a break!Wasn"t great at the villains but who was?

The sooner he signs a pre contract with another club in January the better .. and he can take Sakho. CW, Luka with him.

I still like Big Ben, but he needs crosses which we’re not supplying. With our current style I think the Batman or Ayew are more effective.

What style. The new alternative style where defence and attack no longer exist.

There is a great deal of pessimism about and understandably so. We have an aged squad and having a short rest between seasons, following by fixture congestion is taking it's toll.The squad are not going to suddenly discover the elixir of youth,we are only 15 games into a 38 PL game season and with perhaps little prospect of funds for a significant re-building this season, optimism is at a premium.
