http://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/mar/23/christian-benteke-questions-jurgen-klopp-ignores-him-liverpool
> Klopp has played down the incident and said previously that Benteke is part of his long-term plans, but the 25-year-old clearly does not share that view if his interview with Belgium’s Sport/Voetbalmagazine is anything to go by. “Some team-mates have said that I was lucky with the arrival of Klopp, because I certainly would play,” Benteke is reported to have said. “When your coach says he wanted to take you to [Borussia] Dortmund and a little later you sit at the same club and he ignores you it is hard to understand.
> Addressing the argument that a player with his attributes simply does not suit the manner in which Klopp wants Liverpool to play, Benteke said: “I find it bizarre, I do not understand why people say that. I can play pressing and moving a lot. It is not that we play in the Barcelona style.“
> I played two full matches in a row since Klopp [arrived]. I went up against Leicester,I scored, I followed up with a game and agoal to Sunderland, and then welost to West Hamand since then I have been discarded.
> "Even my father was annoyed at first by my status as a reservist and told me that I can do nothing. I spoke with Eden [Hazard] and with Marouane [Fellaini], they all gave me the same answer – when a coach does not count on you, you cannot change anything. I never would have signed if I had not been the priority of the coach.”
> “Despite the situation I am in, I am second top scorer behind [Roberto] Firmino, with eight goals. This is not so bad.
> Benteke, whose contract with Liverpool runs until June 2020, has been linked with a move to West Ham in the summer, with the London club’s co-chairman David Sullivan publicly confirming they are monitoring the player, who scored 49 goals in 101 games for Villahaving arrived there from Genk for £7m in 2012.
Maybe he should stop playing like shit. Convert 1 on 1 maybe.
Wouldn't mind Benteke at Chelsea
>>66350517
Even Origi is better than him
>>66350807
Is Costa leaving?
>>66350827
We got Remy, Pato, and Falcao all leaving at the end of the season. Costa is being rumoured that he wants to go back to Atletico, and it looks more likely since we aren't playing in Europe next season.
>>66350517
because you're shit, la
Seems like a lazy fuck when he's on the field when i've watched
Origi >>>> Benteke.
Benteke probably be good in a team set up for him, but we won't play like that
>>66350814
Origi is much better.
>>66350517
Benteke perfect replacement for Carroll with hammers, since he is always injured. Considering how good they are in feeding the ball into the box he will thrive there. Payet feeding him headers all day.
He's a fucking target man, he should of gone to Manure so they could partner him with Fellani for 90 minutes of hoofball. Liverpool aren't a crossing team, they should of bought someone who can use his feet and isn't constantly injured
every since torres left all liverpool 9s have been shit and left after a season (carroll, aspas, lambert, benteke)
who is it going to be next season? fucking bendtner?
Poor man's Lukaku
just goes to show that klopp is a pretty shit manager
its not klopps fault benteke is fucking dogshit every time hes on
> I spoke with Eden [Hazard] and with Marouane [Fellaini], they all gave me the same answer – when a coach does not count on you, you cannot change anything.
Why am I not surprised to hear from the horse's mouth that those two shitters are lazy retards who don't value the idea of working for a living.
Belgium will never get close to winning anything with their 'golden generation' because they are all lazy selfish morons.
>>66350807
What part of King's Road are you from m8?
>>66354471
who is suarez?
>>66354497
Yes. It's all at the fault of Klopp for Benteke being shit.
What possible reason could Klopp have
to leave this big black beautiful target man on the bench?
Truly a mystery.
He dindu nuffin!
>>66360069
This one was literally unmissable. The goal was fucking empty, he could shoot from 40 metres and it would go in but instead he waits for Morgan to get in front on him and tries a half assed weak shot straight at him. Major bullshit. He even played 40 minutes less than the rest so you can't blame it on him being tired.
A few of the upper mid-table Premier League clubs would improve massively with Bentekesaurus in their side.
Liverpoop just don't play to his strengths (kek Rodgers)
>>66360196
Classic sign of low confidence but this was just way too bad
>>66359938
>>66359974
>>66360069
>>66360193
jesus, he's a fucking donkey.
>>66360069
>I can't understand why the linesman ignores me
>>66359938
What gets me about this one is that he doesn't even look at the goalkeeper before the shot, benteke just blasts it straight at him.
>>66359938
was that his top speed or is his ball control just utter garbage? maybe both?
>>66359974
>>66360069
>>66360193
why does he even play striker? he obviously can't finish.
He hasn't changed, at Villa he was lazy off the ball. If Klopp wants his whole team to press then he can't play Benteke.
>>66360196
>shoot from 40 metres
Even faggots from the UK who don't watch football still say yards. Keep watching AEK Athens and stick to your own brand of shitty football.
>>66360439
I'm pretty sure Aravidis wouldn't have missed that though.
>>66360439
>20XX
>using imperial units
top kek
>>66360285
he's much better than those clips show but being a mid-low table target man he can get away with not being the most clinical striker
>scores plenty at a league 1 tier villa
>flops at Liverpool
Its clearly all benteks fault
>>66360900
at villa when he was playing all they did was cross the ball at him. He cant dribble, he cant run, hes just a fucking donkey who cant really do anything besides head the ball and come up with a rare. RARE blooter.
>>66361097
He is a limited player, yes, but he did a bit more than headers and the occasional rare blooter
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRGZU2M4IqY
>>66360900
>bought by Villa for 7 million
>sold to Liverpool for 32million
Explain this??
>>66360439
>yards
Fuck off with your meme units
>>66357484
he was number 7 javier
>>66361148
the people that run Liverpool are probably the most incompetent in the footballing world, closely followed by those at man utd
>>66359938
>>66359974
>>66360069
>>66360193
LITERALLY the Belgian Heskey
>>66360069
how was that not offside?
Reminder that Liverpool payed 31 million pounds for him... Top jej!
>>66361503
Paid*
Fucking knew this would happen to him. He shouldnt have listened to his jew agent
>>66360069
Reminder this nearly cost Liverpool the game as Leicester ran up the other end and narrowly missed
>>66360900
Some players don't have the mentality to step up to a big club.
At Liverpool the expectation is on to perform and score every week. And not just score, but press, work hard, link up play, hold up the ball.
At Villa, if you score enough to keep them up, job done. It doesn't matter if you go 5-10 games without scoring
>>66361503
also got 50 mil for sterling so their sense of value was all sorts of fucked up
>>66361503
stop reminding me, at least carroll did ok even if he was limited for 35, i honestly think benteke was a worse piece of business than big andy
>>66360453
Ι'm pretty sure he would've,berg on the other hand..
>>66361551
Too bad you blew the money on shit
>>66361741
>but press, work hard, link up play, hold up the ball.
But Liverpool dont do any of these things.
>>66361949
Are you retarded? Liverpool want a forward who can do these things, that's why Origi plays so often, because he does all of that.
Pretty sure Liverpool's team has ran more sprints in games than anybody in the league since Klopp came in.
Obviously he can't push in his entire philosophy overnight, he needs the summer and pre-season to get the right fitness and team and coaching time. But it's clear Benteke can't do it
>>66361949
>hurrdurr Klopp teams don't press
Kill yourself. Firmino has won more tackles and interceptions than any forward in the league, that's what Kloppo wants from his forward
>>66361921
We need the chemotherapy that is the championship to rid our club of the cancer within
>>66362227
amen brother
>>66354488
>he doesn't watch football
luckily firmino looks like hes going to be really good
>>66354869
why would you be surprised to hear that from anyone? I mean, it's the obvious truth that if the coach doesn't rate you, there isn't anything you can do about it
thread derailment time
it's not always about you

goddamn this dude plays with his eyes locked on the ball, never raises his head up until the play is finished
It's obviously racism and nothing to do with the fact he cannot score even simple chances
>>66363474
good thing you brought race into it
I'm sure that was what Benteke meant

Thank you for these. Someone should post the bicycle kick he made this season (was it against Chelsea?) though, but it won't shake the fact that he's incredibly inconsistent in the worst of times.
