Nope. He’d still be a useless Cvnt and always will be, so we extend his contract. If he scores against Brighton to contribute towards a victory he will be lauded and applauded and Benteke will feel like a camel in a caravanseral which has reached an oasis.

It's not just Benteke that has got worse at finishing, it's the whole team! Players who were previously chipping in with goals (Zaha, mcarthur, the odd defender at set pieces), coupled with the fact mili's set piece quality has declined (except penalties), shows that it's something to do with training. We've scored the least amount of goals in whole of PL, and Benteke is still regularly scoring for Belgium when he plays.

The Guardian doesn’t have Tosun in the squad, has he been Camarassaed?

If he scores a hat trick tomorrow would you all forgive him for his awful performances ? The short answer is "no way". The longer one is that even if he then went on to score another half a dozen or more goals before the end of the season, I wouldn't want to keep him but at least we might be able to get a reasonable amount for him in the summer.

Benteke played ok today, set up the goal and generally held up play reasonably well. However he fluffed his lines in front of goal yet again, so the big question is can we continue to play with a centre forward who does not score goals? Unfortunately it is not a position where you can hide. You either bury chances at a reasonably high percentage of success, or you don’t and that stat kinda defines a centre forward. I must admit I no longer consider him useless because he has some decent play in him, but as a goal scorer he looks finished. I understand why Roy continues to play him but we desperately require an upgrade.

If we keep clean sheets we always have the chance to knick a goal. Benteke set up the goal today and also won the header leading to the foul on Ayew last week for the free kick. So he is starting to contribute to key moments even if he can’t score Edited by Bexley Eagle (29 Feb 2020 6.28pm)

This. He wasn't today , and if everyone else's finishing wasn't as bad as his he would have many more assists to his name. Palace as a team at the moment seen to be able to invent new ways of missing chances
