Benteke

[Red Mullet]

Any news his injury?

 

[LeTallecWiz]

hopefully out for the year, so we can fire rodgers

 

[Skullflower]

Hopefully long term so we don't have to watch him play up front for us

You're better than this...

 

[Hansern]

Tight hamstring. Came off as a precaution.
Looked good with Studge so hopefully back for the Villa game

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

I think he's fantastic. If he carries on in this vein of form he'll be pushing Messi and Ronaldo for the Ballon D'Or.

Ha

 

[Arn]

When he get back he should be benched. Ings deserve to play upfront together with Sturridge.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

You're better than this...

true

 

[dantes]

It must have been another freak injury, because he doesn't get injured.

 

[Oliver Twist]

You're better than this...

Not in my experience, he isn't.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

It must have been another freak injury, because he doesn't get injured.

And scores one in every two games. Oh.

 

[Oliver Twist]

And scores one in every two games. Oh.

I don't think it's a literal stat.

 

[dantes]

And scores one in every two games. Oh.

That's a rounding error. He scores 0.51 in every 2.49 games.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Not in my experience, he isn't.

awwww thanks

 

[Oliver Twist]

awwww thanks

Oops. I thought my dig was at skullflower and not you. Apologies!

It’s no coincidence Benteke has managed just five shots on target in England’s top tier this term. Liverpool simply aren’t utilising his talents and a total of 72 crosses from open play is the fewest in the Premier League this season.

This is getting ominously like Souey's dark days when half the squad seemed to be in plaster, while the other half just played like they were:


Liverpool striker Christian Benteke will undergo a scan today to determine the extent of his hamstring injury.
The £32.5million frontman was forced off at the midway point of Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Norwich City and has been ruled out of Wednesday night’s Capital One Cup tie with Carlisle United at Anfield.
Reds first-team coach Gary McAllister confirmed: “Christian is going to have an MRI scan today. He has a little problem with his hamstring.

Who was it that jumped down my throat when I said he was injury prone?

2 months in, three injuries already.

Whilst I neither agree or disagree, and had no opinion on the matter whatsoever.
We have played 6 league games so far and Benteke has played all 6. The only game he has missed is the Uefa cup game for which he along with a few other senior players was rested.
So its a bit of a stupid point. Well I say a bit, I mean a lot.

 

[Silver Sean]

Is it alright to say I don't like him as a player? I didn't when he was at Villa and I don't like him now. Not that it matters one solitary fuck.

Your username matches your posting style perfectly. Well done!

 

[Spencer]

2 weeks out?

Oh great, so we won't even get the standard 'goal against your old team' goal.

I think the way we're performing we could quite easily buck that trend even if he was fit

Fair point. *backs out of thread
