Spot on Kev - couldn’t agree more. CB has been better recently - no doubt. But frankly that wasn’t too difficult was it - he has been absolutely garbage for the previous 18 months! Got to get them all off the books as soon as possible and bring replacements in who will bring something different. I’d add Hennessey and Dann to that list too. Hennessey is not required now JB is in and Dann (a brilliant servant to the club) is 3 yards too slow now days. spot on - need these deadwood off the wage bill asap. Re Tekkers why does he never bully defenders. Backing in, out muscle them etc. Murray could always do that and nick a free kick etc.

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

Nonsense. There are many examples of one on ones with keeper whereby he shoots straight at the keeper, headers over the bar, scuffed shots that are more of a danger to the corner flag than the net, etc. The supply is there, he can't convert, hence his appalling record.

This concurs with how I've seen Benteke's performances over the last 3 seasons, he's fluffed too many or failed to make the obvious move a CF should make much to the annoyance of those trying to play him in. To be fair his form since his recall this season has been better but as one poster has already said - 'that's not saying much'. ... maybe not but there are several team members who are not performing at the moment who should be under the guillotine before Benteke.

By the way - you still in Peckham. I used to live in Asylum Rd back in the 1980s.

Please do not talk up Benteke, he is awful, he had six opportunities to score against Sheff Utd and he could not convert one of them and that sums him up as a striker "useless"

It wasn't 6 good chances. And there's more to being a striker the scoring goals. The team performs better when he's in it. Period.

I agree Henry and as I've posted elsewhere (before the Mateta business resurfaced) I don't see us shipping out Benteke just yet. By the way - you still in Peckham. I used to live in Asylum Rd back in the 1980s. I live near Peckham but it's the one in Kent where they filmed 'Darling Buds of May'. I came here via Carshalton, Asheville North Carolina, Chineham and Sidcup!
