Christian Benteke

[Russ Atmosphere]

I wouldn't pay £32.5m for Aguero if he'd done his achilles badly. Potential timebomb.

[Bernard Diomede]

Benteke's appearances for Villa

 

2012/13 - 39

2013/14 - 28

2014/15 - 33

 

That's not too bad, he's picked up the odd knock here and there and had that bad achilles injury. I wouldn't be too upset if he replicated those numbers for us.

 

Those figures don't include internationals.

Fair enough. I thought it was a lot less than that. I thought he'd had the achilies and a bad knee injury during his villa stint.

[Paco]

A goal every other game as well.

 

3 in 7 for us in the league

[stringvest]

His goal scoring record demands a bit of respect I would have thought. Wrongly it would appear.

[Paco]

Delighted hes scoring but a bit worried they re all from crosses.

[El Dangerous]

Eh? Who cares how he score as long as he scores. Leave the mazy dribbles and tap ins for the vanilla midgets.

he needs to be able to score all sorts of goals. At the minute hes only scoring from crosses and we re not blessed with wingers or full backs who can cross. You

only have to look at the state of our corners.

 

milner has 3 assists in the league. Were they all for benteke?

[Baltar]

What's wrong with our strikers? 3 of the useful ones are all injured leaving us with the hapless Origi. Have to feel for Jurgen here, he's not going to get us up and running if he doesn't have any fit strikers to call on.

That depends on our other players as well though. We haven't really created too many opportunities for him.

[Bobby Hundreds]

It's weird generally speaking shite players are invincible but good ones fall apart at the seams.

Formula One cars and Ford Escorts innit.

The exception being Degen, of course.

[Ginny]

It's good for Klopp that all our players are getting injured. Takes the pressure off a bit and enables him to find his feet. Not that he would use it as an excuse or need to.

Doubt he would agree. Origi as your sole striking option hardly anyone's idea of fun

[El Rojo]

I reckon the sheer frequency of games and the level of injuries have been horribly frustrating for Klopp. All he can do is firefight at the moment.

 

The problem is, though, we're not even missing that many players. With the exception of Sturridge and Benteke, Henderson's the only probable starter out. Pretty awful indictment of the money we've spent in recent years.

[eeyore]

Well I don't think any of us clever people predicted this. Nope not one.

 

Another cluster fuck of a signing

I take it this another of your "I told you so" post I've seen mentioned. Who's a clever boy. Have a biscuit.

I'm never wrong

You're always a bit of a twat though.

Jealousy and envy just part of the problem yo

[Redder Lurtz]

Yes. I'm really, really jealous of some anonymous spaz on the internet who gloats when he's "right" about his team's players failing.

 

I've every confience Benteke's goals will prove you're a know-nothing mong.

[Oh Buoy]

Take it to the chippy, lads. 

[Arl arse]

Take it to the KFC on County Rd lads.

 

Fixed.

[Frankenhooker]

Should be okay for Saturday according to Klopp.

[Tony Moanero]

Does anyone else pronounce Benteke as "Bentweke"?
