The issue is that playing Zaha right and Townsend left, whilst getting more out of Benteke, gets less out of Townsend/Zaha. It’s catch 22

Why are people obsessed with Benteke not scoring, he is not scoring because Roy is not playing to his strengths, even Messi wouldn’t score if he not being fed, recently he has being doing lots including tackling deep into midfield, like robbing Pogba which led to the second goal against United. He did plenty against Everton

Did plenty against Everton? Ayew was by far the better on the day.
Penalty against Bournemouth!
Scoring against Leicester & cupping his ears.
Having the highest miss ratio to scoring chances.
£130k per week wages.
Turning down transfer to China.
Lack of goals

Talking Pogba, one swallow does not a summer make.
Just get rid, take the loss; because giving him a new contract would just waste more ££ we don't seem to have to spare currently.

Beat Manure without him starting, start him & lose to Colchester; on pens....
Surely even Roy wont be starting him again.

Ayew will start Saturday and rightfully so. Townsend won’t start and which again is right. And as for Wickham having watched him tonight, he shouldn’t be near the first team. Benteke won’t get service, so will just have to be an impact sub. Hodgson doesn’t use his strength, so until one of them goes it’s the bench for Benteke or sold to a team that knows how to use him?

We should pay up his contract and tell him to sod off to some random Chinese team that would be mug enough to think he’s a footballer.

Absolutely pointless having him at the club.
