Yes I do actually think that; if Luca had taken the pen against Bournemouth & scored we would have had two more points when he was taking the penalty against Man City; therefore more pressure on Luca when he was taking the Man City pen. You obviously do not understand that point & your comment is actually stupid. Benteke has been poor no one is disputing that, but blaming him for Lukas penalty miss against city is ridiculous. Get a grip

was slow off the mark today, weak in the challenge and I have now joined the anti-camp - Lambert can resurrect him at Stoke or he can go abroad - £20mil from someone please. Sorloth was much more effective today - I'd start him over Benteke, would be a brave move by Roy but I genuinely believe it's the right choice to make.

Yes, i hope theyre right but was there today and didnt notice him any better than benteke, in fact benteke laid off two nice passes to him in second half, one first time from a goal kick and one along the floor that only needed a tap in at speed, think the defender got there in front of new guy, just, but benteke won lots of knock downs today and nobody got a shot on target as far as i recall!

really is i noticed a new times against everton & today where sørloth shoudlav put his boot into a challenge & bottled it, for soelbodt his size i would expect him to be winning 50/50’s not bottling them. bentekkers aint perfect i know that, but hes devoid of confidence, started the season isolated under de bore, got injured & has never got back to where he should be...hes never going to be a player who created his own chances. im sorry, i know its early days but i dont see enough in sørloth to make him a focal point of our team.

We had three attempts on target all in the first half. None of them really extended Lloris though.

Ok, well i was my usual 10 mins late but cant recall almost jumping up to celebrate in whole game, though the post is in my view to be fair, not knocking the effort today, thought we did ok in the circumstances, but definately couldnt say new guy put any more effort in than benteke, did have a guy behind me slating tekkers for not running right up to their goalie when he was bouncing the ball to hoof up field and did think why would he when its obvious the goalie will just hoof it the minute he gets near!
