  • Can anyone confirm the rumours that Klopp's not a massive fan of Benteke?

    He was relatively prolific with Villa - is he just not getting the service from Liverpool's midfield, or is he just lazy. I don't think I've seen him run once.

  • As a Liverpool fan who rang up 606 described him the other day. He's a lighthouse

  • He's not mobile enough.

    If you look at the players Klopp brought in (Ramos, Lewandowski) they might be considered a physical presence but they were mobile. Benteke to me looks to have got slower since his knee injury.

    A bit of both. His service has been woeful. Jordan Ibe is the king of beating his man and having to show the world how good he is by adding extra turns and taking his man on again, all the while the runners in the box re stood waiting and the opposing defenders and back in position . Eventually you lose heart and start taking up different positions and over thinking. Now we're seeing a player that is at a low ebb confidence wise. PErsonally I'd be fining anyone that has the chance to cross early but doesn't. I'd also fine anyone that does that stupid slow, looping dig/cross that again is piss easy for opposition defenders to bat away (Milner). We rarely drive the ball in.
