But Schlupp contributes far more than Benteke does. He puts in effort and while his skills aren't great it often pays off in the end. One miss from him can be forgiven (especially after setting up the first goal).

but crvenaeagle you can still forgive Schlupp missing an open goal

You forgot to add "attitude" to your list.

Here we are nearly 10 months on and still facing the dilemma of who can score goals.
Against WW we were wasteful and woeful. This can't go on, waiting for this out of form striker to regain his form is not on, Championship beckons and Benteke will be off to China on yet another big salary.
We've got a half decent mid fielder keeping the bench warm, sure this is the time for Roy to introduce new blood.
Giving away a last minute goal and playing against 10 men is the woeful part of my missive.
I still can't get my head around why we never bought a couple of forwards during the transfer window. Something is wrong in the way this club is being managed,the priority was forwards and we end up with more mid fielders who have hardly played a game since being here.
Alright, we are in a better position than this time last season but my gut reaction is that Man C and a few other teams that we have to play, will get into double figures with goals against sooner rather than later!!!
I am so sad for a club I have supported man and boy for 58 years.

Bang average is being highly complimentary.

Benteke reminds me of this kid who used to play in our team at U-13 level. Totally useless, afraid of the ball, afraid of opponents, but the manager had to give him half an hour each weekend and we did our best to encourage him whenever he got anywhere near the ball. The difference being that Benteke is a professional on £120k p/w. Taking the f***ing piss.

Maybe we could get one of the Youths to clog him, might get insurance money as well
