Heard they are gonna put tekkers on front gate with temperature check gun...probably still miss most of the time

If he manages to get connor, then that will knock him out injured for couple months

I have been a harsh critic of Benteke, however for the last three or four games and particularly last night he was excellent. He might not be scoring goals but he is making himself a damn nuisance around the pitch. I thought that when he went off last night we lacked an outlet and lost possession too easily in the Bournemouth half. We didn’t win a ball that was over chest height either.

Some terrific clearances in defence too.

But needs an understanding relationship with a striker as you say.

My thoughts exactly. I was concerned when he was taken off about how we would keep the ball without him as an outlet, and so it proved. Against a better side than Bournemouth it might have cost us.

Put in a good shift. If he doesn’t score, so what? He certainly occupies the minds of defenders and won everything in the air yesterday. Shame he gets limited service in goal scoring areas

Of all the problems with our football club, Benteke isn't one of the bigger ones.

We put crosses in the box, he scores. He's shown that over the last few weeks. Problem: we don't put cross in the box. We fanny around with it on the edge of the box until a flick doesn't come off.
