palace chick South Croydon 27 Dec 20 12.35pm
Originally posted by The Dolphin Benteke was not given a sniff yesterday. Our crossing was poor or non-existent. Their keeper ruled the 6 yard box but we didn't work that out in 90 minutes. He made two half chances to be fair to him but if you don't give him the ball he can't score. Edited by The Dolphin (27 Dec 2020 9.48am) Correct - Benteke wasn’t the problem yesterday and nor was his strike partner Zaha. The other 8 behind them gave them nothing to work with. I’m beginning to wonder if PVA has a problem with Zaha as he rarely passes to him. There were times in the last two matches that Zaha was asking him for the pass and he either gave it to another or just completely misplaced the pass. Doesn’t help when they are both on the left?

Originally posted by Cpfc1861 What style. I think you’re being a little harsh. Our build up play is generally tidy with a lot intricate passing. We have some quality but we’re just missing the final ball which is down to movement. Big Ben needs crosses which we don’t provide. I will accept that the Villa game and the 2nd half vs Liverpool were a total shower of sh*t.

Originally posted by Willo Does anybody believe that should we lose to both Leicester and Sheff Utd, Roy Hodgson will be in charge for the next game ? Maybe, but despite what some people seem to think, Roy could easily be shown the door with another two losses. A manager is judged on results and we are consistently not getting them.

If it was to happen, and i sincerely hope it does not, my hunch would be, we would install that loyal serpent, someone who we could rely upon to steer a sinking ship, and not jump and leave us in the lurch, one mr dougie freedman, cheaper than a real manager and loyal to a, umm, layal to a, err, anyway, careful what you wish for!

Originally posted by Cpfc1861 So what chances did he get today that your digging him out for he scored 3 in 3 before today and he has never had good chances at palace lets be honest we don't create enough most strikers miss most of their good chances but their teams get them more then outs does. Think most people are grumbling about his work rate not chances taken. Even the pundits on BBC commented on this, needing to see more from him. Want to see some fire from him, closing the keeper/defenders down, balling for the ball, moving back to the action if need be, tackling hard etc. Don't get me wrong he isn't the only culprit here but if a few started doing this it might drag the rest.

I've posted many times on Benteke and some fans keep posting he doesn't get the service he would score goals elsewhere Blah ! Blah ! Blah ! He is rubbish no more to be said .

Mwncisee Middlesbrough 29 Dec 20 12.45pm
When we signed Benteke I was really excited. In his first season with us he looked really good. But, he has plummeted since then. Yes there is a good player in there and I have long said we should stick through his bad patch and he will come good. But that time has been and gone. There have been a few false dawns but the reality is now there is just too much baggage in his mind. Him and us need to call it quits and him to move on. He will probably come good somewhere with a fresh start.

He is rubbish no more to be said . I reflect on that chance by Townsend in the first half which he put wide. He was our only player in the penalty area, Benteke was casually strolling forward without making great efforts to position himself in a dangerous position.

Batshuayi should be given a run off 3/4 games with Wiif, then we will know if he is worth the money Chelsea want for him “That’s a joke son, I say, that’s a joke.” “Nice boy, but he’s sharp as a throw pillow.” “He’s so dumb he thinks a Mexican border pays rent” “ “Son… I say, son, some people are so narrow minded they can look through a keyhole with both eyes.”__ Forhorn Leghorn

The problem is that he is as lazy as CB and lacks areal presence. He is also terrible in being offside all the time in being late to move back. A much, much better finisher though then CB , so would agree with giving him a run.

From what I have seen of Benteke and Bats this year, Benteke is miles ahead in terms of offering a goal threat and that’s saying something. Edited by Eaglecoops (29 Dec 2020 7.36pm)

He seemed to be coming back to the "old Tekkers" - 3 goals and all-around improvement. Then the red card, suspension, and now two games back to his worst. What has really happened to him?

I think if Andros can cross the ball higher than a foot off the ground Tekkers might have something to attack.
