The left back looked outstanding for Young Boys, maybe we should look at him for Jan window? But I didn't realise how good Benteke is untill I saw Sorloth.

Sorloth was approved by RH who said at the time he had consulted his contacts in Scandanavia and was happy it was a the right thing to do, so presumably you want Roy fired.

Sorloth has not cost the club 4 years wages as he only signed in Jan 2018.

We have had so little chance to see him it's hard to make a judgement

I am much more annoyed with whoever was behind Benteke, no one will ever hold their hand up to that.

Conversely, whoever was responsible for signing Bolasie did a great job, as did whoever got AWB tied in.

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

It would be criminal that we don't strengthen our attack based on last season. £20 million should secure somebody half decent. Whoever comes should go straight into the team either on his own or with one of the "lumps". In relation to this friendly seemed to remember we looked half decent under FDB pre season and we all know what happened at the beginning of that season. From reading sounds like a decent outfit to play. However as you say hard work needed.

Not as bad as itzak Zohar

I agree with you although the FDB debacle and Roy’s style of slow slow slow is a major contribution. When Benteke struggled at Liverpool it was because they weren’t getting the ball to him fast enough when the whole oppo was behind the ball and Benteke had his back to 2 CB’s. That and the amount of opportunities from side footed balls across the box on carpet pitches he skied out of Anfield on a regular basis.

Klopp was building a long term project as Roy isn’t playing the short term direct football that falls apart quite quickly. (We’re just weak in the box).

Benteke just cannot play much football unless he’s 25-50 yards from goal with minimal defenders to oppose him or a ball in the air nobody can reach that he can power into the net with his head.
