When Wilf is not playing Benteke should play from the start. He provides an outlet, remains an excellent target man and a good passer of the ball.

I would like him to stay with a reduced salary for another year. Unlikely to be offered 100k+ by anyone else so would surely be amenable to some kind of deal.

Bats is the one who seems to be lacking effort. If we keep Benteke and Ayew that still leaves room in the squad for another option.

The Evening Standard has run a story that we’re offering Benteke another contract.
I think this is partly to avoid him leaving on a free in the summer, but perhaps he will get more game time and try and get back to some sort of form

I may get out to the sword but his very limited minutes this season he has looked a lot more passionate, hungry than batshuyai , I think 1 goal and we will have the real benteke back! (I hope)

....and then as soon as the extention is agreed..... normal service resumes

I know we lost in the end but we were the better team when he came on last night. I would start him next game.

I disagree about Bats. He needs balls in the box and the service to him has been diabolical. He has been in a perfect position the last 2 games and shocking passes from McCarthur and PVA possibly robbed us of points.

My opinion, Benteke should have started, We need someone that can hold the ball up, take the pressure off the defence, bring players like Eze and Andros into the game, create space. Ayew just runs down blind alleys, no one rants when he passes the ball out for a throw when it was an 8 yard pass, he did nothing in 75 mins, yet Benteke has max 15 mins and is expected to turn things around. Roy got his tactics wrong, Benteke could help at defending set plays , everyone could see we were struggling. Yes he had a chance at the end, keeper saves it. Others missed easier chances but that’s ok.

—————————————————————————————-

A classic CF display from Christian, and no doubt people will say this that about CB and it was only WBA and they had 10 men etc etc, but we look such a better team with him leading the attack, hold up play, linking with others and two goals, all round great display

Not distracting from CB performance today 5 goals from 54 games is not good .He needs to be consistent and will earn his place in team.

Seconded. Good all round play from him today and a cracking 2nd goal. Can he push on, that's the $64,000 question.

If those two goals give him the confidence to do what he has done in the past then happy days.
Right now he suits us better than Ayew and Batshuyai in my opinion.

Be interesting to know how many of those 54 he has started and how many have been 10-15 minutes.

Hopefully this will boost his confidence. He does seem to suit us better and the 2nd goal was really well taken.

Agreed. He gives us more options. It took two excellent saves to bey him in the last 2 games.
