Will we not not lose?

and at least two strikers to score the goals. Right now I can't see anybody scoring. Definitely not Benteke, unless the goalie is lying down dead

We've been really fortunate to experience that seven times already this season ;)
 
We're not launching ball after ball into the box though.

What frustrates me is this insistence that we have to play a different way to get the best out of Benteke, we don't! Play the same way with one slight change; when it goes wide cross early! That is it!!!

It still won't work. Because Benteke can't move in the box. Watch his runs and he always goes to the far post. He doesn't know to run across his man.

In more positive news -

Emre Can is the only player from the midfield forward to have not lost possession today vs [HASHTAG]#WHU[/HASHTAG].
 
Coutinho is tricky, if he was receiving the ball to feet inside the area, we might even win a pen, he would certainly cause panic.

Stop lumping **** crosses at Benteke cos when a good one eventually arrives he'll not bust a nut to get it

We end up floating it as he's never in space and position for an early cross. Every time we break he runs towards Collins, never mind space. Collins must think Benteke is a duckling who's seen his image as soon as he came out of the egg.

Maybe he's never there because the early criss never comes?

We've not put early crosses in for years. Not since Torres was the dogs bollox at least.

How the **** do you know if we've never tried it? [HASHTAG]#pointandcase[/HASHTAG]
