Is it better to get one player to change his ways so we have one option or all players to adjust so we're less predictable?
Yep you're right. This is another problem we have in that the three behind the striker are all similar. None of them make runs beyond the striker. Badly need to upgrade Lallana with a pacey wide man to give it more balance.
Yes cruyff turns on the half way line and gorgeous hair doesn't really help us in the era of heavy metal.
Some games are suited to some players and some arnt. I wouldn't say there is no place for Benteke. The Leicester game clearly was. Watford, WBA, Stoke, CP: these are games to which he wouldn't be suited. It's about using the right tool for the right job. Benteke was right on boxing day but not other days.
Every time Benteke wins a ball in the air (about 400 times per game) and lays it off, how come no one whines about the multiple players who couldn't be bothered running to get on the end of it?
That's what people mean by Benteke needing to run more... he should be getting on the end of his own flick ons
I'll have to find out from my home computer, it'll be on my history. I'm at work - had a quick search but can't quite remember
Big difference between laying a ball off (as he does occasionally) and the ball just hitting your head and nobody having a clue where it is going, just like the big kid in school ( every school had at least one) who thought they were great at headers but everyone referred to as 50p head.
Benteke's head is like a satellite dish that collects any ball around the world and focuses it exactly where it needs to go please log in to view this image
The way some people are talking about the slight tweaking required in tactics is hilarious. Having a forward minded attacking midfielder add a forward run to his game is like a pastry chef learning to do a different type of pastry, ****ing easy. The internet's version. Klopp: "Anticipate Benteke winning most of his headers so don't be afraid to run in behind the CBs" Forward Mids: "Are you speaking in Japanese? I've literally got no idea what that sentence means, but if it has anything to do with changing my style, I'll just let you know right away I simply can't do anything different from what I am currently doing, what the hell do you think I am, some sort of paid professional?!" Reality. Klopp "Anticipate Benteke winning most of his headers so don't be afraid to run in behind the CBs" Forward Mids "Okay, no problem"
Thanks. I'm not sure it added up to the £20 we agreed I'll buy you some chocolates when I see you next
