Benteke is absolutely shocking is rather have Balotelli dare I say it Balotelli offers more
{Ed030's Note - Both offer very little and are very overrated. }

You can't just make a judgement on one game, Benteke wasn't great today but he had absolutely no service whatsoever.

Well if Rodgers is still around he will fit in just nicely then!
Villa have just outlined how bad we are. They beat us twice last season remember. Another reminder if FSG didn't need it that we need to make the necessary management changes a priority next week.

I can never decide whether Benteke is a great player waiting to happen if he's in the right team or just a Belgian Heskey.

We need a striker who can work off scraps and also play football, not one who relies on heading the ball, all he did the last 3 games I've watched was pass the ball backwards and head it, his work rate is awful and wouldn't get the crossing service that he relies upon for Liverpool

He was never good enuff and this game did nada to change that. He only looks good when he plays us because he just bullies Skrtel all game and our manager couldn't be arsed to fix our defence. Thank heavens, we didn't ghetto the final because Arsenal would have taught us a huge lesson, come to think of it and after the Stoke Massacre last week.

Very funny Something Red! I think Benteke is very dangerous playing in a team in the ascendancy, or when you have fast dangerous wingers putting good service into the box. He's not as effective in a high-press / fast breaking game and I think that's Liverpool's key strength with the likes of Coutinho and Hendo able to play defence splitting passes.
Unless we get him for 20mln and there's no other option available, I'd rather have Walcott, Aubameyang, Vietto, Lacazette or someone similar that would suit our style far better, but Benteke will always be dangerous in a side set up to play his strengths - I just don't think that's us (or I hope not!)
