Thought I'd Wage in on the Benteke Oduard debate!

Benteke Looks like a new player in this system, he is benefiting no end by us playing more up the pitch. in an RH team his only job was to receive long balls and head flick ons - he settled into this role, And now has to remember how to play in PV's way.
he's now playing much better. the last 2 games his movement has been better, he's making the runs for crosses, and link up play too has been good.
I saw enough in the 433 of OE, CB and MO to be very encouraged. Happy to stick with that. CB and OE linked up well, and it's still early days for OE, love his directness and running, and appears to know where the goal is. There's a reason CB had all 6 chances - that's his strength, not OEs. Saying that on another day, it could have been OE who all the chances fell to.
No idea where WZ fits into this.
CB is showing signs, but he really needs to start scoring. missed some sitters on saturday.

This is the Benteke Conundrum. Do we persist with him? We've given him so many chances now through lack of other options. This new system - and OE coming in as competition - does seem to have made him more effective. In a perfect world his chance creation rate is better. but at least now he's getting those chances.

"It was a Team effort, I guess it took all players working together to lose this one"

He may be able to play all across the front three but his best position is CF finishing the chances, that Benteke misses

At Celtic he played 145 games at CF scoring 75 goals, at PSG he played no games on the left wing, he never played for the French U23 at all, he did play 14 games for the French U21 team, playing 14 games and scoring 17 goals at CF, do some research before making yourself look foolish

Maybe some truth in there but I have to say that against Sandcastle the deft passing between our forwards on the edge of their box was better & more decisive than I have seen it (for some considerable time)

Before you start calling people foolish, you need to check the stats you quote, they are all wrong, which is no surprise.

You clearly haven't got a clue, maybe you pull your stats out of thin air
