Benteke cops a lot of crap on here ( with good reason as i don't think he runs enough ) but like wise i thought he looked a lot fitter and sharper before he got himself sent off.

My impression too. But as another poster has said (Coulsdon?) Benteke seems to have the equivalent of the darts yips and doesn't make the runs a CF should make so as to put himself in the best position to score. If we do continue with the system we've been playing in pre-season then he should get better service (assuming RH plays him) BUT Tekkers will have to do his part and get in the right positions. I'm not sure if he will.

I'm amazed by how patient and forgiving some Palace fans are, thinking that Benteke very well might just, if certain circumstances occur, score a few.
Reality: 6 goals in 3 successive seasons, at £130k per week. I think even Sorloth could have done better if given the chance heh heh

31 goals over the whole of last season suggests the problems are more complex than ‘Benteke is sh*t’.

You don’t go from a 15-20 goal a season striker to 0-2 overnight. We are devoid of chances and creativity. We play with inverted wide players and since Roy’s arrival have not played to his strengths or any striker’s strengths for that matter.

He was starting to look a lot better towards the end of last season.

I said at the end of the season before that I thought Ayew was looking much better and I fancied him to have a great next season people on here rubbished me.

I am going to repeat that prediction with Christian. If we play the 442 narrow diamond and he plays up front this season, he will have a great season. If we stick with that formation and he gets a fair crack and has a poor season I will donate £50 to Palace for life.

Hope you are correct, if we can get the ball to his head at corners it will be a start.

 


It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Watch some footage of Tekkers when he was in a Villa shirt, you would think it was a different player...

i saw a 97 year old bloke with a zimmer frame and Covid. Doing a practice kick about with the great grandkids

suitable replacement for broken benteke ?

when grandad scored , he immediately stopped dead and stared into the middle distance. I think it was that he forgot to celebrate the goal.

 


Kayla did Anfield & Old Trafford

Perhaps Tekkers has Alzheimer’s?

Sakho (makes him looks cheap)
Ayew (makes him look good)
Dougie (he wasn't responsible for him signing)
George Weah (he's such an advocate)

Wasnt it a couple of seasons ago whe he was analysed as missing the most 'good chances' in the league? Sorry but all this talk about not playing to his strengths is rubbish a good striker adapts to how a team plays. I remember when he first came he was bullying defenders, now he seems as weak as a kitten. Time for him to move on, but no one will buy him because of his wages and no way would he reduce his wages..
