    He could need to bring in the likes of Downing on the wings, and some playmakers from deep to ping long balls.

    Which would go against his whole style/philosophy, one that has been successful over his career.

    The cut backs bit is wrong - the number of times the wide man finally gets into the box and want drill a low ball, and Benteke is either on the edge of the box or back post, hiding behind a group of defenders.

    Then the cross is blocked and Benteke stands in the same place, and starts pointing to his head.

  7. But it could happen. Diego's question about Klopp v Migs would be more prompt then but Benteke and Migs <ok>

  8. Surely you have to question the player crossing there too though. Why drill a low cross when Benteke is the target? Hardly playing to his strengths is it? (not that he's bad on the deck)

    True - it could very well happen.

    Personally, I think Klopp is trying to give two mentally weak players a confidence boost because a) he needs them until the summer and b) we want to get a good price for them in the summer.

    True, the crossing has been terrible!

    But Benteke is often glued to a defender, picking him out is so difficult. Even the youngsters against Exeter didn't want to pass it to him.

  11. Agreed <ok>


    Benteke needs to do more in the box but the crosser needs to do better too. Just like it takes two to make a pass, it takes two to make a cross too <ok>

    Sounds more like Klopp is blaming the blaming the support players rarther than the striker <ok>

    "We have to think about how we create chances. First of all, we can get the ball into the box and then maybe Christian will finish it.
