I have a feeling Roy will drop Benteke for the Spurs game. He needs to show poor performances won't be tolerated. Sorloth has given us another option and Benteke has to earn his place back. Sick of watching him. Really am. Also, we can all give him a big boo (ala Schneidelin) if he comes on as a sub ;-)

Hodgson might give him another chance.Benteke has come close of late with headers just wide and shots saved and "Our Roy" might believe that he cannot keep missing and this could be the game when he scores.I think Tottenham would rather he didn't play than play.

Edited by PalazioVecchio (11 Feb 2018 4.32pm) No , but I find it preferable to wait and see if he does and accept what he does bring to the team whilst waiting. By the way , it's very easy to ignore your intended insults if you want to save taxing yourself in future.

It may be best if you do go back to United for a bit , you started on here all jolly and now you are very negative. It's a shame that the HOL negativity has got to you. Go back to Sheffield have fun and be happy.

I'm totally pi$$ed off with the Benteke excuses. Lacking confidence ? I've never seen a more arrogant player - he projects his sense of superiority all the time! He was certainly confident when he took the pen off of Lucca !! Poor service ? If he wasn't getting the chances he wouldn't be racking up the regular misses ! Liverpool friends have said he was the laziest striker they'd ever had at Liverpool and they were amazed that they managed to recoup their transfer fee ! I think he is probably the laziest striker I have ever seen. Yesterday his movement was once again extremely poor and at one point Townsend remonstrated with him because he wasn't making the runs expected of a striker. Sorloth is obviously not the finished item yet but he showed enough yesterday to warrant playing him instead of Benteke as a lone striker. The lad is keen and a willing runner plus he seems very confident of his ability to score. Roy certainly has talked him up and obviously believes in him so he should give him his chance and bench Benteke. PLEASE

There seems little doubt that Murray would have got more goals this season from the chances that Benteke has not taken. Benteke averages 2 misses per game Murray has scored 10 this season for Brighton in an essentially defensive team. He also works harder, puts defenders under pressure,wins free kicks and defends set pieces. This is not say Murray is anything special. The central point is that any half decent centre forward would have made a better contribution than Benteke this season. The sad truth is that with the transfer window closed and lack of goals from elsewhere Palace may well go down if Benteke does not significantly up his game.
