Benteke seems like he isn't a team player and doesn't give a damn about Palace. He's a massive sulker and thinks he doesn't score goals because his team mates are inferior. In reality, his team mates don't pass because they're probably fed up with him slowing everything down. It was a mistake on Townsend's part but as the game finished with a Palace win this is just nonsense. It's ashame that 30 million only buys you someone that only looks half interested when you directly put the ball on his head from 6 yards out. Unfortunately though, Remy is a sicknote and wasn't on bench again today, I'm sure he'd be a better fit. We could also look at someone in the Andy Caroll mould if we stay up but obviously right now you have to go with Benteke over the likes of Frazier Campbell and hope he shows up occasionally.
As for the 'Andy Caroll mould' I think you'll find they broke it when they made him!

On a lighter note, I enjoyed the half time kids penalty shoot out when the six year old Benteke fan scored and did the knee slapping celebration. You old romantic you !

Crystal Palace isn't just about Benteke ...its about the team and a great win not just for them but the fans as well...he threw his toys out of the pram at the end of the match ...didnt celebrate with the team didnt shakes the hands of the boro team and above all didnt celebrate with then fans...
There are no legends in football, but there are good memories... |

I thought Townsend was crap yesterday. He is greedy and squanders good chances. Benteke was within in his rights to complain. It should have been a cross to the far post.

If anyone doesn't look like a team player it's Townsend

Never like to see players kicking off on the pitch...do it in the changing room. As an opponent that is just what you want to see. From observation, Tekkers does seem a bit high maintenance...but in terms of what they bring to the team, he did pick the right person to moan at. I have watched with frustration this year as Townsend, who I was happy to get at what I thought was good money, has disappointed. He looks very one-dimensional - dribble as far as possible and shoot...from anywhere.

Townsend should have passed, it was the easier option and his shot was poor. Apart from that he had a decent game though. Don't really have a problem with Benteke having a go at him and it's good to see him pissed off at not scoring.

I'm not disputing that, I've said on here before I love Benteke but HATE his penalty style and I would have nodded in agreement if someone clipped him round the ear for it But how Benteke doing the same to Townsend and rightfully so turns into Benteke being s*** ect really irks me. I have been impressed with Andros and hope he maintains it, just next time do what you did at Bournemouth when in that situation!

I think it's about time for a tweet to the effect that these two have put their handbags away.

Benteke passed to Townsend to receive the return, as Townsend would have known. He had taken up a good position and would probably have scored. The shot was from a tight angle and pretty hopeless. Benteke had a right to be angry and it looked to me like this wasn't the first such incident. Benteke needed to make it clear to Townsend it has to stop. Shame he did it to the detriment of our final celebration though. But how people can say Townsend had a poor game is beyond me, Zaha deflected the defenders and gave Townsend loads of space. He did OK.
