Originally posted by palace99 what a strange reply. I'm talking about Benteke repeatedly being offside in the 2nd phase of an attack because he's too slow getting back or unaware of his position. Nothing to do with speed or weight - merely having a football brain. Vardy's not the sharpest but he has learnt to avoid offsides i.e not making his run too early etc. Don't think it's too much to ask a highly paid experienced international football to avoid being offside so much I thought you were talking about Benteke not Batshuayi!

Originally posted by Eaglecoops He is the best CF at the club. Not difficult I grant you, but an in form Benteke is a handful for any CH out there. Unless you play like Liverpool or Man City you need a target man to hold the ball up and challenge in the air. He does both of these well. He lacks confidence but as you rightly say he is looking more and more comfortable. I’m happy with his last two performances, let’s hope he can keep it up. One thing is for sure, I can’t see Roy changing the Front 4 of Eze, Zaha, Benteke and Schlupp unless there is an injury. Agreed. He said in the post-match interview that the eleven he put out against Spurs is our strongest team at the moment in his view. He seemed to suggest that change will only happen if one or more players haven't recovered sufficiently.

Originally posted by Painter Let’s hope Eze has replaced Ayew, rather see a player playing with a smile on their face, Ayew always looks so miserable.. Benteke playing makes the team play better, he gives an out ball from the back, he gave Dier a torrid time yesterday. Considering Ayew won us seventeen points last season that's quite a disrespectful piece for him to see and read. I hope to see him included again very soon, he has amazing ability on the ball smile or no smile.

Always remember Marlon King playing with a smile on his face - turns out he's not so nice - served jail time twice, i think, the 2nd time for beating up a woman who spurned his advances whilst out celebrating the birth of his child. Appears smiling on the pitch is not a good way to judge someone

Ref ruined that game and Benteke did absolutely nothing wrong with both cards, the West Ham players know exactly what to do against Benteke didn't they and that ref allowed them to get away with it, if that is the rules Benteke can not jump for any balls ever again, such bollocks.

Benteke isn't. Vardy can start from a couple of yards further back and till beat the defender. Benteke needs to take a risk and hope the defender is slow off the mark.

I haven't heard anyone say the sending off was justified. Can we not appeal it? If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.
