Are there any Liverpool fans here that like Benteke? All the ones on twitter and rawk seem to think he's garbage.

I think he's going through a learning process that could produce a great striker with a really fleshed-out set of skills, as opposed to being reliant on only one style of play. His movement seems to be improving and hopefully he'll eventually convert one of his many chances and then be back in form.

Whether the club should have paid 32.5 million GBP for a striker who still needs to grow in leaps and bounds is something I question a lot, though, especially when Carroll, Lambert, and Balotelli all indicated that Liverpool as a whole cannot use target men well. Also, what I just typed out above is a rosy, best case scenario and Liverpool has't had a best case scenario come to pass since about 2009.

This sounds about right. Arsenal desperately need to find some rhythm in their midfield and get one of Giroud or Walcott scoring. Neither of those things will probably happen until Cazorla gets back, and by that time they'll have played Spurs and Lester.

City don't look like winning the title at all, though.

He's real bad op and for all the target man poo poo he's actually really bad at fighting for balls in the air or any type of ball at all really, and he is a massive bitch when defenders impose themselves on him.

He fucks up all our play and then he sometimes scores a crazy goal on a half chance he had no right to score. Bizarre player.

I never understood how whoever bought him at Liverpool (I'd love to blame Rogers, but I have a vague recollection that he didn't want him, though I could be wrong) thought "good for Villa" was in any way a ringing endorsement.

I'd convinced myself that scoring every other game for some dire Villa teams meant he'd manage OK even if he took a bit of time to adapt.

Welp.

Rodgers wanted him and he says Klopp wanted him too.

If they were able to get Benteke at a lower price, the learning curve would be a much less annoying situation.

Benteke owns but you have to integrate him into a team concept. He can't be the focal point or the 'one player that offers something a bit different'. despite what people think he's a very good passer and our team scored a lot of goals with him on the ball passing to wingers.

Klopp and Rodgers just want to throw him on the pitch and lump the ball at him seemingly. He's not even that big.

e: like if Klopp wants everyone to press hard and retain the ball when they get it he's the wrong player. Straight up. That doesn't make him bad, it make's him bad for that style.

That sounds like another massive cock-up between Rodgers and the Transfer Committee then because Rodgers gashed on and on during his time at Liverpool about wanting a "pressing" style so opposition teams had less time to think and move.

Benteke has not been helped by the inability of any of the midfielders (like Can, Henderson, Allen, or Lallana) to chip in meaningfully with goals. It might get better for him for the brief window when Sturridge is alive. Maybe he just needs a partner. And love.
