personally, i thinking using Benteke as a target man like we did most of the game today, is a waste of his skills.

From what I saw today, his ability to hold up the ball opens up the chance for players around him to use their skills. So it evens out, IMO.

Not a waste, as in just an outball to relieve pressure but he creates a genuine belief in the midfield to advance without fear of the ball coming right back.
Which allows our midfield to fill the massive gap we've all seen between midfield and striker.This will allow more actual football to be played in the last third,which in turn will allow Benteke to utilise his many skills.

 


It's good to keep an opened mind, but not so open that your brains fall out.

Those two extra points we earned yesterday after Benteke put all his strength behind a cross in the last seconds of the game go a long way to paying off the money we spent already.

When was the last time we snatched points at the very end?

True, but that was a point.

Bournemouth had all 3pts going into the 94th minute. We snatched 2pts back.

What are you on about? I'm talking about Palace and maybe I should have said 'snatched a win'.

That's all from me on this tedious thread - good morning.

Great signing and top player clearly.

Glad to hear about his attitude being right. Whenever I have seen him react to a refereeing decision there seems to be an initial throwing down of the hands in a possibly petulant manner, but he doesn't seem to get the attention of the referee or a warning. You are allowed to react when decisions are made and it would be abnormal not to whenever you think you won the ball, but he seems not the be the overreacting type or petulant type that we have seen before in Wilf or Cabaye for example.

Clearly he's no Alan Lee!

Completely agree with this .....Im starting to warm to benteke now Ive heard him speak to the cameras and, like someone said, hes a big fish in a little pond which should suit both player and club.

What a brilliant signing for us.
Gives us a real goal threat at long last.

He has been absolutely fantastic at laying the ball off, either first time or after collecting it. I have often puzzled at how other teams keep the ball after a hoof out of defense, while Palace have always struggled with that. Now I know why.

It's a big reason why we are over 50% possession instead of below 40%. It's also why we're scoring more goals and conceding fewer. Benteke's hold-up play is making this team sooooo much better. It's not wasting his skill at all - it's milking the most out of him we can.

 


We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.
