Liverpool vs. WBA (H) Match Thread - 13th December 2015

If Leicester win they go 11 points ahead of us, ridiculous league.

[Mattshark]

I really hope we can try a few games without Benteke. All our best play has been without him.

[Fredo]

If he was any good he could adjust to the other players.

He was one of the most feared out strikers in the pl last year now he's a useless lump

[Roboklopp]

Only if you don't have a clue how to coach him properly to adjust to our game.

Yes, sack klopp

[BigChief]

Klopp now has the same number of points as Rodgers managed in 8 games

Yep. Cannot believe we paid that for him. Well I can, Rodgers can't pick a player.

There was nothing wrong with Rodgers' 'style', like I kept saying on here. BUT he couldn't buy players to save us from relegation let alone get us into top 4.

That's why Rodgers was axed and Klopp has to shovel the **** he's left behind. Benteke is the biggest of that lump, sadly.

Would have won if Benteke hadn't of been playing.

Playing at Villa and scoring in streaks. Playing at Villa is a lot less pressure with a lot less required of you.

[captainfog]

How many games has Klopp won with Benteke starting?

[Fredo]

Yes, sack klopp

No but hopefully Klopp is not an idiot and will work with him.

9th on the top scorers list. Not amazing even as the fulcrum of a team.

No he wasn't

We may as well have just kept Mario.

Of course but that's where coaching is needed. He needs to adjust. What did we expect from him straight away? He didn't decide of the fee.

Two lines of four, hoofs to Benteke and another striker following up for knock downs? I hope not.

Adjust for what? He has always been poor at passing, he has never been good at taking players on. He is a very limited player.
