We know how lazy Benteke is but that he had a bit of resurgence last season. I thought he was shocking Monday. But I don't understand why you re-sign him and then let the best direct crosser of a ball in Townsend leave on a free without replacing him.

Regarding Benteke, he's a mediocre footballer, and to top it off, he's a lazy cnut as well. I have no doubt that PV has realised that Benteke won't fit into the high press scheme of things, and as currently we don't seem to be playing for crosses that much I wonder where that leaves Benteke... In the reserves like the lazy overpaid poser he is,get rid fast!!!

His pass to Ayew was excellent, that cannot be debated. But from my point of view, there was a serious drop off in energy and work rate when Benteke came on for Edouard. To be crystal clear, I don't think Benteke's performance had any impact on the ultimate outcome. You are quite correct that Guaita's lousy clearance (with both a shocking trajectory and being quite off line) was the ultimate culprit for Brighton's equalizer. However, Benteke left a lot to be desired. He failed to keep possession the few times the ball was cleared to him, and he was not tracking the ball on defence with the same amount of pace as Edouard. Those are valid criticisms. He should not be scapegoated for the loss. That said, if the effort we saw for the last 15 minutes on Monday is indicative of what we'll be seeing when he subs on for Edouard, it is quite difficult to see how he fits in with the club going forward.

I agree. Does a lot of running around but nothing more than that, sadly. Also I have reservations about his attitude at times, not convinced he is a team player

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Benteke start on Sunday. No one has nailed down the position at the minute.
