Christian Benteke

[Rich]

Did well tonight sometimes has a heavy touch but he did show tonight what a threat he'll be. Big Chris.

[RichC]

He's ****. Static. Can't link up play. A big lump. Mediocre. Not a Liverpool player. Thrives on crosses.

Anything else?

Appalling passing and dribbling stats.

Lacks game intelligence

[danperkins]

He's quality, going to be sensational here.

[G]

He scored from a cross hit the bar from another one

[Bender]

Fair do's to Big Ben....did well for his goal and really holds the ball well and wins a lot of Ariel battles

[Glenn Hysen]

Beast.

[RichC]

The QE2 and Koschelny won't fancy the physical side of playing against Big Chris next Monday

Really impressed with his hold up play tonight. Thought he was excellent

[RichC]

IF Sturridge can get and stay fit there could be some real potential up top for us

He looked really promising. Thought he was really good this evening. Shame his late effort hit the bar.

Big Chris

Steady start but I feel like there's so much more to come from him. When the attacking 3 or 4 behind him start to find some rhythm - totally absent so far - he'll be a right handful.

[Fosterbloke]

We need to play him with a partner like Ings or Firmino.

[Corndog]

Can we officially rule out the Carroll all over again argument now?

His touch and skill with the ball is far superior.

even if he was to go on to be a failure from here (I don't think he will be) that argument has clearly been shown to be misinformed bollocks.

Edit: How good were his knock downs/ back heels? linked up with Coutinho so well.
