Moan,moan and more moan,since our win yesterday various posters have slagged off Puncheon,Ward and now Benteke what the hell do you want from the lads.Benteke had a good game yesterday worked hard won a lot of ball against a three man defensive system and had Townsend having been set by him up passed the ball back across the six yard box for a tap in towards the end of the match everyone would be singing his praises..did you notice the boll*cking he gave Townsend,too right.

I really don't know if it is because some people really don't know what they are talking about, some people like to troll, or if football really is a game of opinions and two people can watch the same players/games and yet have wildly opposite opinions on what they just saw.

So my tuppence worth:

Benteke: Yes is not a perfect striker, but we aint going to be able to sign the world class players. I don't think he is lazy he just holds a central position, maybe could commit to charging into the box a bit more. Those who say Wickham is better due to work rate forget Wickham works the flanks more but then is stuck out wide with the ball with no option in the centre, we all complain Wickham shouldn't be there as there is no target man centrally. Benteke does what we say Wickham should be doing and we call him lazy!

Punch: Works hard in the midfield, buzzes around and commits himself to tackles etc, is also a player who has a bit of creativity which you sometimes need to unlock a defense. Granted might lose the ball in a few of those attempts but worth the pay off as when it does work it creates a real chance. Local lad wearing the clubs captains arm band and it is obvious he has desire, would be stupid not to let him have it if he leads by example in commitment even though he may not be playing as well as he can, it'll come after a year of being in an under performing team, it is bound to affect his game, as can be seen with his recent shooting. He has it in his locker he just ain't quite firing on all cylinders at the moment but in a relegation fight like we are now in we need his fight.

If you think this is a moan you should avoid hol , when we lose. I thought we were terrific 1st half but when we drop back for 20 minutes after the break. Benteke lost Ariel duals and looked disinterested imo. I just expect Benteke to win more free kicks to get us up the pitch. I don't expect him to race to end to end of the pitch. Yes, we won but Middlesbrough are a poor side. It's great to win but Benteke will need to do more if we are to gain survival

Benteke needs to take a look at some videos of Ian Rush who used to anticipate what defender would receive the ball from the GK and immediately shut him down. I heard Dean Saunders say on the radio the other day that he was regarded as also Liverpool's best defender because of this. On a positive note, if you look st CB's work rate yesterday it was an improvement but still a lot more work to do.

Bring back Brolin

Disinterested? that why he bollocked Greedsend for not passing to him to kill the game off. I actually think some people know f*** all about football and just post on here coz they're fed up with the Jeremy Kyle re-runs.

Yannick Bolasie - Glenn Murray - Wilfried Zaha

Most exciting attacking trio at Selhurst Park in years.

I played football at a semi professional living and watched Palace for 20 years. Wether you agree or not it's an opinion. It shows you how classy you are with your pathetic insult.
