Syd eagles is completely right. Benteke is one of the biggest arial threats in world football. If we're not going to start him, which it looks like we're not, he's well worth having on the bench. If we're a goal down and running out of time, he's well worth throwing on, as his chances of rising above everyone and nodding in a corner are greater than anyone else. You talk utter rubbish

When Benteke had his "Magic" spell at Aston Villa he played 101 times and scored 49 goals, a very good record, of them 49 goals NONE were headers, he is not and never has been good at heading, what he is good at jumping, unfortunately the ball can end up anywhere, PVs comments on his heading ability doesn't bear out the facts, its a Myth, a 70m joke

If your stats are right then 31 of his last 44 PL goals have been headers. That seems to be a decent percentage. And he must also count as one of the players with the most improvement on that basis too and so surely the sky is the limit when it comes to his heading ability. Edited by Omph (29 Mar 2022 8.07am) Your stats are of course completely wrong. Edited by Omph (29 Mar 2022 8.15am)

No the facts on Aston Villa are correct, whatch for yourself on YouTube, all his Aston Villa goals, what you notice most when watching his goals are, what an earth happened to him, if PV thinks he is the best header in Europe, it shows you what he thinks of his other abilities.

I think the point is Benteke USED to be good in the air, he stopped attacking the ball a long time ago, basically when his high wages put him on easy street. I read all this Bollox about he doesn’t get the service, well I’m over 50, fat and fcuked, but if you put me in the 6 years box unmarked and put a great cross on my head I’d probably still be able to put the ball in the net. A good centre forward has to put himself about and attack ANY ball that gets put in the box. He NEVER does this now, he’s lazy and has been found out, especially now we’ve got options
