Christian Benteke

What about "Pooteke"?

That was definitely the pinnacle of whopper. Lord of the Whoppers if you may.

That clip is worth watching just for the hyperbole employed by the commentator.  If you can, listen to it without watching the goal.

 

Then play the clip and watch the goal.

 

Amazing.

 

PS  I can guarantee that during the celebrations, more than one player was heard to use the phrase "Awesome, guy!"

[House of Dirk]

More enthusiastic than that arl cunt Tyler commentating over his similar goal against the scum, a few years back

[Kevin D]

Ah, the summer we spent arguing about if  Bentenke was a target man.

 

Where does the time go.

Waxing lyrical over Bodgers all star forwards.

"Lovely cushioned header... "

[Creator Supreme]

Excellent goal, but not a patch on the one he scored against the Mancs!

Couple of months in he was definitely a target on here.

Far better players than him have felt the wrath of the TLW 'experts.' Look at it now!

Under Bodgers he was. Klopp was getting a bit of a tune out of him before he was sold though. Which highlights the quality of the managers themselves.

We’re always gonna disagree on this one mate. 
 

He was fucking crap and a terrible signing. 

[Scott_M]

If the Villa player who used to completely terrorise us had turned up, he’d have done well.

 

Unfortunately, he absolutely did not. 
 

Didn’t work out for either party. We got our money back. No need to dwell. 

[magicrat]

Dreadful signing only matched by Palace who were gullible enough to refund us 

[Bjornebye]

Cracker this though

I didnt rate him but Klopp was getting a bit out of him at the end.

Klopp hated him. Visibly berated him on the pitch after the game on several occasions. Dropped him in December for Origi against Leicester who subsequently got injured in that game. Put Bobby in the false 9 position and had Sturridge ahead of him whenever fit. Was a bench option for the remainder of the season and was flogged immediately.

Yes,he wasn't our style of player at all but as I repeat again 'Klopp was getting a bit out of him anyway for a short time.' Far more than Rodgers did which sums Rodgers up for me. If we didn't have The Owl I'd hate Rodgers even more than I already do.

Foot was dangerously high - red card!!!!

[joe_fishfish]

Rodgers being so set on getting a big lad up front was really weird, his style of football was way better suited to quick forwards who were great with the ball at their feet. Didn’t we play the lowest number of crosses of any team in the league when he was here? Then his forward signings included Lambert, Balotelli, and Benteke, all of whom loved feeding off crosses. (They were all shit as well).

No, that was Luis Suarez' style - Rodgers never really had one. His Swansea side had Graham upfront - hardly quick and certainly not great with the ball at his feet.  When he tried to find those types of players he ended up with Borini and Aspas. When Suarez left he brought in Lambert and Balotelli.

I remember the day we signed Lambert- we also agreed an £8m deal to sign Loic Remy from Newcastle only to pull out at the  last minute implying it was medical related and off he went to Chelsea.

 

And we signed Ballotelli
