The problem is that he is as lazy as CB and lacks areal presence. He is also terrible in being offside all the time in being late to move back. A much, much better finisher though then CB , so would agree with giving him a run. Originally posted by Lanzo-Ad
Batshuayi should be given a run off 3/4 games with Wiif, then we will know if he is worth the money Chelsea want for him

From what I have seen of Benteke and Bats this year, Benteke is miles ahead in terms of offering a goal threat and that’s saying something. Edited by Eaglecoops (29 Dec 2020 7.36pm)

He seemed to be coming back to the "old Tekkers" - 3 goals and all-around improvement. Then the red card, suspension, and now two games back to his worst.

I think if Andros can cross the ball higher than a foot off the ground Tekkers might have something to attack.

The heat-map of Christian's performance against Leicester is revealing. He never went anywhere. Heat map for Benteke! I didn't think one ever existed. As in he doesn't ever move fast enough on the pitch to create one.

I could cross a ball with either foot in and away from the keeper when I played,and I got paid f*** all for it!

I'm 20st plus and could cross a ball better than a few of our players lol! not to mention putting corners to the back post almost everytime so f**k knows why Palace players always seem to make a mess of it?

With the delivery into box, it was brought into focus during the Leicester game where Andros had two chances from dead ball free kicks into the box. Everyone came up from the back as well for Andros to completely screw up both opportunities and Leicester nearly did us on the counter because his crosses were that bad. Harry Redknapp called it at half time by saying “ Andros seems to have lost his drive and threat, he used to bomb down the wing when I managed him”
