I don't think its a chicken and egg situation. I think its a case of changing attacking tactics to say, right we've got two big target men in Benteke and Matata, lets change our build up play to find space on the wings and whip it in. Now we know the tactics, lets do some work with Benteke and Matata to improve their movement in the box. At the moment, he's probably not working on his movement as he knows he gonna get many crosses. I'm sorry but I disagree, Benteke will never be the type of striker that moves and anticipates where the ball maybe landing in the box, he just does not have the pace or football brain that will make him a good all round striker that runs in to the box who can either head, kick or who can just deflect the ball goalwards from all angles and he also never works defenders in order to create spaces for others. Frankly Glen Murray is still a much better and more athletic striker than Benteke will ever be and he is now 38! As for Mateta, we need to see more of him and he is young enough to improve but again we do not need a striker who can not only head a ball we need much more than that otherwise we will become very predictable in our play and easy to counter!

Benteke is finished as a striker both in this league and with this club. He is worthless and we should just face up to the facts and just let him go and save on his massive salary whatever that may be! Couldn't agree more he really doesn't over exert himself for anything,just plods around where he feels like going,just get rid of the useless lump,we need mobility at the front not bloody statues!!
