Christian Benteke

[Lecter]

He's ****.

He's worse than that though because he is lazy and ****. It's impossible to blame the service to him when he doesn't move. He remembers every ow and then that he's got to get about the pitch a bit, and he then ends up looking clumsy and seems to be unable to follow the fundamentals of forward play. He doesn't even hold the ball up well...

I dont get the lack of service / poor service argument because of his lack of movement / desire to attack balls

I am absolutely convinced its **** all to do with confidence its pure laziness

You can hear Klopp ripping him from the sidelines at the match

[Tatterdemalion]

Can't believe it's just laziness. Footballers have to be super fit - surely a lazy player just wouldn't make it this far. More likely he just doesn't know what to do, so does very little..

[Buzzo]

It's getting beyond a joke with this guy now. He swaggers about the pitch like he's just bagged a hat-trick FFS.

He had a chance tonight, we'd been playing ok, better than them and then went down to a wonder goal. He's our only recognised fit forward (and even then he can't get a start). But he was given a chance because we needed a goal. So you think 25 mins, surely the big guy should bust a bollock until full time and do what he can to get his goal. But no. His introduction is to the absolute detriment of our overall play. His touch is brutal and his lack of effort is appalling. You could take his shirt at full time, pop it back in its box and sell it in the shop to try and get some of the 32m back, because there will not be a drop of sweat on it.

Thirty ****ing two million pounds

Unbelievable.

[Chris]

Get out of our club!! I'd rather have Adam Morgan back.

Never wanted us to sign him in the first place but it's quite clear now he's not a workhorse and never will be and if you watch him in isolation, it looks like he doesnt give a ****.

However, I'm insistant that he needs to be playing while we struggle for goals as he's the only one that can finish in this side.

I get where you're coming from - he can score goals.

The problem is he is often not in a position to score those goals and he makes our final third passing even worse than it already is.

Yeah, for that he cancels himself out pretty much.

he has been ****e but it's blatantly obvious that he cannot play as a lone striker, and neither can Firmino! We cannot score goals and look ****e anyways so just play 2 up top and the diamond. Nothing to lose!

It's the laziness that is the most infuriating, the least you can do as a professional footballer is work hard. Look at someone like Mad Erik (Erik Meijer) he was a very limited footballer but he ran his nuts off for the team. I'd rather have someone **** but hard working than someone talented but lazy.

Fixed it for you - I agreed with everything but the talented part

To play Brendans diamond you have to have players who are fluid and get into effective attacking positions

This kind of rules out Benteke
