The movement is radically different to either villa or under rodgers or even under early klopp. he is positioning himself ever specifically. 1. Look at his position when closing down. He is positioned by klopp not to be lazy, sorry guys... he is positions at no 9 to stop easy pass to CM dropping deep. We let for example thier cbs have it and he was placed to close that central channel off. that is classic klopp. 2. Look at his runs last night... he comes and shows, no ball delivered... he runs across in front looking for little ball to feet. no ball delivered. He goes central on pen spot from corsss from edge of box sort of zone... no ball delivered or when it was it was ballooned... only one actuall came in well and he should have scored it. he is pulling out, deliverately moving OUT (not standing still or being lazy) to edge of box when we are getting to byline (or pointlessly dribbling to lose it). 3. look at the closing down. if he was lazy and stupid as accused by the lazy viewpoint he'd not be closing down and chasing in on keeper etc. In short..... you can see clearly klopp is working with him and adjusting what he is doing. You can see he is trying way too hard and prob thought he had to smash a hat trick last night. He is trying to show the crowd he's more than just a guy who heads it. You ca also see he's a confidence player who needs to find his touch. Give klopp time lads. see where it goes.
You Benteke #haters are a joke, just like this #bbcsalford ****; slagging off Benteke for his great run and being sarcastic, then made to STFU as he executes a perfect through ball http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/35367871
I'm not a Benteke hater myself but perhaps you should tell all the Liverpool fans who were chanting what a waste of money last night they are a joke lol Clearly it's just not a few on here... Looks to me like he will end up hounded out by the fans tbh even though his goals are worth more than other strikers apparently?
Well I never heard us chanting that (although the away fans were enjoying themselves at his expense). Plenty of groans mind you.
LFC fans are funny... lukaku hits 15 goals and he's worth 60mil. benteke hits similar last year and he's not worth buttons and we grossly over paid and can we please sell him for 5 to anyone who'll bid. There's no patience or trust in the manager at all. he'll do what he does with him and with the rest of them.
They're not definitely worth more than any other striker's since I only have the analysis for the 4 strikers in my #graphs Benteke 1.25 points/goal Rooney 0.71 points/goal Costa 0.70 points/goal Lukaku 0.50 points/goal
Not disputing any of that, in fact I'm inclined to agree. However, there is no way in hell Klopp's told Benteke to run out the box when it looks like a cross is coming in
Maybe we should increase global warming so that he plays better for longer parts of the season? #daffodilsindecember @astroturfnaut @Tobes @BringBackFootie.
Based on his profile picture, I'm fairly certain I saw him on TV yesterday. He had a really good seat, right next to the pitch, and even got to talk to some of the players.
