romavillan Posted January 26, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted January 26, 2015 He's been lmost the only player to show good movement constantly during our horror non scoring run, he was always involved in the nicer moves (showing for one two's, running in between the lines to make a vertical pass a possibility) too. I've said a few times on here he doesn't deserve the stick he's been getting and at the moment I think he should start instead of Gabby. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Villan4Life Posted January 27, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) Congratulations to Andi who has become a father for the first time today, hopefully he carries on this better form from last two games which he has been a lot better...

kidlewis Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 you don't have a care in the world the first two weeks after your baby is born. he will be so relaxed for the next few games. Shouldn't over think anything, and he's a big game player too. over 1/3 of all his goals come against top teams (United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs, City) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bobzy Posted February 1, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 1, 2015 Alongside Gil, probably the only player to come out of today with any credit. Did a good job harrying them from the front and made good runs on the most part. I'd possibly be in favour of dropping Benteke to start Weimann alongside Gil and Sinclair in an attacking trio against Chelsea. Possibly. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 for what he lacks in technique or skill he never gives less than 100 percent unlike some other players 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 for what he lacks in technique or skill he never gives less than 100 percent unlike some other players I agree. I love his attitude. If Benteke had Andis willingness to put a shift in even when things aren't going your way then given Bentekes superior ability he would likely have got himself more goals this season. I felt sorry for Andi when he was took off today. Given their relative performances today and what I have seen the last few games it was Benteke that should have been dragged off and given a long over due kick up the back side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PandaMac Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 After the Chelsea game I'd consider dropping benteke and putting andi up top with Sinclair and Gil behind him. Only reason I wouldn't do it for the Chelsea game is because there's only two ways we'd get something. One way is to have a lot of luck and the other is to get a moment of magic from someone, which andi doesn't really have in his locker but benteke (no matter how poor his form is) does.

I'd possibly be in favour of dropping Benteke to start Weimann alongside Gil and Sinclair in an attacking trio against Chelsea. Possibly. This. He seems to link up with Gil well too. The cross he nearly scored from came from Gil, and they did a lovely one touch move on the edge of the box that almost led to a chance. He seems more likely to make runs that Gil can pick out than benteke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Should have taken a touch in the first half and at least forced the keeper to make a save Still being used in the wide positions though he isn't a wide player ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Must be watching a different game to people thinking he is "terrible". Constantly works his arse off - he headed away a ball out to Kramaric during a Leicester counter attack. That's right, a counter attack and he still got back - and makes the kind of runs that I could only dream about seeing Benteke make. Composed finish when offside as well. I like him. He offers more than Agbonlahor and links well with whoever plays in midfield. He's our best forward currently (not that that's saying much ). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I'd replace him with Gil in the line up for Stoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I think Sherwood is going to love him. He worked incredibly hard, just let's himself down with his ability at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I think he too has realised how bad his first touch is, so he doesn't even bother taking one any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvillafan Posted February 15, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted February 15, 2015 I think he too has realised how bad his first touch is, so he doesn't even bother taking one any more. .. and yet it *still* looks better than Gabby's first touch.
