Benteke letting the ball run out just before 3rd goal typified his lack of effort. We had 2 strikers on and neither could hold the ball up, although Sorloth gave a better performance than Benteke. Had we of bought a decent striker Benteke would be subbed, if he made the team at all.

Benteke excellent?

Lack of effort, what game were you watching. Benteke had one of his better games, made the first goal, forced de Gea into a world class save and cleared countless corners with headers.
Yeah a distinct lack of effort.

yeah...... great defender. Oh hang on,
he's a striker

He was excellent. We wouldnt of played the way we did for a lot of the game without him, all the link up play was through him. People look at football in such black and white simplistic terms.

For me Sorloth was the wasteful one, seems to be a lot of fuss surrounding a player who to me looks nothing more than a big and slow lump. Was useless in possession.
