Hve to give credit to any Palace fan still supporting Christian Benteke. It shows how special we are. Me? Have lost faith in the big man long time ago, but still is a true red & blue. I mean, those two sitters vs Liverpool - he didn't even hit the target!! Blame lack of service eh.......

On MOTD the panel mentioned Tekkers has had 22 gilt edged chances and scored from 2 of them this season thus far. These weren’t half chances where he had to be creative, these were clear cut. I am astonished that some folks keep saying “ he hasn’t had the service” Could you imagine if Jamie Vardy had those kind of chances I bet he would have put 15 of those away, no problem. He has become a complete liability, I am so pissed off that we have no other options...

before tax bentekkers earns roughly 24k a day, why do you think he would bother selling a shirt for £700. its roughly the same we would spend on a coffee. The amount he is earning under false pretences is exactly what sickens me. It also sickens me that the we had two transfer windows to provide adequate alternatives and didn’t. But I would be interested though to know the process as to how his shirt ends being sold on ebay by a professional company within 24 hours. But you’re right of course, he probably cares about the £700 precisely as much as he cares for Palace. Edited by dave4343palace (02 Apr 2018 10.09am)
George Courtney, the World Cup referee, everyone is looking at him. When will he blow....? |

Missed chances aside, I thought Benteke had a good game. Held the ball up well and won his fair share of headers, including an assist for the penalty. The chances weren’t sitters but both attempts were weak and to miss the target on both cases is poor. His confidence is clearly destroyed and I felt for him. He should be doing a lot better I’d still pick him next week on the grounds that we don’t have anyone else fit at the moment.

When he then missed a second one literally a minute later, I lost it...

Townsend plays the same position as Salah does, but has scored twice in 31 games. Nobody is beating him with a stick for his poor return for a striker? I did say earlier in the season that he flatters to deceive & his end product is not as good as it should be. We really should be using Lokilo at least a sub; the threat to his place could see him maybe produce a bit more.

Second chance the pass was slightly behind him and difficult but still needed to work the keeper. The miss a couple of minutes before would have been weighing heavily. Didn’t look like a man not trying to me.
