Originally posted by Dangermouse Benteke is paid to score and win headers,link play and lead the line. At this moment his all round game is pretty good, but he can't keep missing great chances and I will not argue with anyone who wants to coat him for that. The others are paid for various aspects of play too, one of which is pitching in with some goals. How many are doing that? How many defenders have scored this year? Cabaye has no goals, Macca gas 2 league goals I think. Andros 1, Wilf 4 and he's missed some doozies too. No one apparently can take a direct free kick and the shooting technique of the entire squad on a match day is pathetic. Would we have scored Sigurdsson's chance, would we f***. It would have gone 20 yards over or choked wide. From 2 or 3 yards not one player can improvise a finish to somehow poke it over the line and we have had untold goalmouth scrambles this season. Yes Benteke should be leading the way, but a little help wouldn't have gone amiss. Agreed. That said I don't think we got that many shooting chances as Everton setup deep enough that we were always going to struggle to get that many. It was all headers or knock ons really. I don't think we're as bad as we looked yesterday, including Benteke, shot wise. Dare I say it but Everton defended against ground play well. What caused them problems was crosses and long balls. Also no one has pointed out that Benteke's overhead kick was goal bound before Ashley Williams saved it. See replays, it's clear as day. Edited by FairweatherEagle (11 Feb 2018 11.49am)

Originally posted by Salford eagle I can’t understand the people who constantly slate him!? In front of goal he has been poor but his overall play has been good. He has brought others in to the game and is getting in the right positions. A striker is judged ultimately by the number of goals he scores, but you can’t question the work he does defensively and his build up play. Those who call for him to be dropped what planet are you on, we have an injury hit squad and you want to make it weaker. There’s plenty of players in that team yesterday who performed poorly, PVA, Mensah, Hennessy etc. yet Benteke gets the brunt of it. He's not getting in the right positions anywhere near enough. Always at the back post and flat footed, stuck to his spot. He only moves if the defence is moving towards goal because the winger has got behind the full back or has him back peddling. He's actually a novice in this aspect and isn't worth £3 million, let alone £30 million. 'You can't question the workrate he does defensively' is comedy gold. Compare nicking the ball off Scott Dann for villa compared to now. You can question his defensive workrate. We have to use him, that's true, but sell him asap. COYP

I don't think it's getting personal the fans expect more from Benteke he gets paid enough the chances he's missing a striker from a pub Sunday league can and probably scores take him out of the situation and put Sorloth up top with wilf when he's back fit the way he put himself about yesterday he looks good given abit of time wilf could get the best out of him the sooner the better i think until Benteke gets back to his form what can justify getting paid £120.000 a week cause the way he is at the moment he should be on bench let's try something new see how it works out i no its probably a quick fix with the amount of matches left i say it again Sorloth should have started when we first signed him.

He's been in a rut most of the season, with both his feet and head, summed up in the 2 games against Everton. In November he placed a shot wide when should of hit the target at 2-2 and then yesterday placed a header wide at 2-0 when again all he had to do was hit the target. Both times hitting the target would of been a goal. The header particularly, where he seemed to wish to power it in where a simple nod on target would of been enough. Think he is trying, desperately wants to score, hence grabbing for the penalty take, but maybe rushing at things which is making matters worse for him. Wrighty mentioned in the Bournemouth match that his timing was a little off although Osman seemed to not think so yesterday. Perhaps it is more to do with his decision making in front of goal ?

I know this is going to be unpopular but I don't think he is playing that bad . He is not scoring ok that's his job as people say. But as Roy says when we score we score as a team , when we win we win as a team when we lose we lose as a team. He is not not scoring on purpose. It did look to me yesterday that he is carrying a knee injury as he wasn't moving freely . Maybe I'm wrong . I da na .But I do know if he gets a hat trick against Brighton he will achieve hero status on HOL . Let's get behind the man and the team and support them instead of slagging them off all the time. oh yeah ,fcuk off brighton.
