Ian Rush, good one. Who's he playing for these days? Bit of an irrelevant example.

It is starting to p*** me off how many people seem to think CB is lazy and not up for it.

He can change it and if not sure sure Sam will!

clearly you do not understand football, look at the work rate of the really great strikers (Ian Rush for example), that' the difference which clearly Klopp understood and got rid of him!

Have you not noticed that Klopp doesn't play with a target man type of striker, so Benteke was never in his plans.
If Ian Rush is your example, he stopped playing 20 years ago, football has moved on.

of course football has moved on, it is an example of work rate at both ends of the field and off the ball which has not changed that much, standing around waiting for the ball to come to you is also old fashioned and not the way the game is played today, which is what Benteke still does and therefore he needs to sort it, I'm not questioning his potential but his work ethic, that is what he is missing at the moment hopefully Sam will sort it, its is a team game and not a one man game!

So telling people they don't understand football just because they don't agree with you, you pompous a**e

Personal bugbear of mine...people who say anyone who disagrees doesn't understand football.

I've played as a target man in a fairly high standard for many years. My opinion is that when you're the only one up front, it's hard to close down defenders as you're always outnumbered. Rather CB stayed up front on the shoulder of their last defender than waste energy running around like a headless chicken. But that's only my opinion..

It didn't do Greaves or Lineaker any harm in their career. I don't care if Benteke doesn't run around like a headless chicken. As his goal rate is 1 goal every 2 games, I think most of us will except that.
You obviously don't think that is not a good enough return from what you seem to think is a Liverpool reject.

you sing the same song every time his work ethic is zero compared to quality players who cause absolute terror in defences when they do not have the ball thus creating opportunities for others. No questions about his potential but he is lazy and needs to work the back four more, do you understand football?

He is a nuisance. He gets involved in our build ups. He scores goals. I don't know what more you want; he's not Didier Drogba for f***'s sakes, and we're barely a mid-table Premierleague side.

Pointless pressing the back four on his own if we aren't playing a high pressing game, he's probebly been doing exactly what he's told.
Anyway I just found your example a bit retro and bizarre. Bit like comparing Henassy to Grobellaar.

Think Benteke was and is a massive signing for us and still can't quite believe we signed him.

I would imagine fans of all bar the top 4 or 5 clubs would be well chuffed to see their team sign him.

There have some proper lows in 2016, Benteke, for me, is one of the big high points. A couple of iffy penalties aside he is on for well into double figures this season, playing as a lone striker, he's absolute class and what we were crying out for up front.
