Nice goal. Is Joe Allen trying to turn into Pirlo?
Benteke 0 goals in 90 min, firmino scores within 10 mins of coming on...
I've always liked him but I'm glad it was Liverpool that took the plunge on him in the end rather than United (who were heavily linked to him at the same time) - he'd have been just as ill-suited to Van Gaal's tactics.
For very different reasons!
I'm going to stick my neck out here and predict Benteke is never going to make it as a Liverpool player, and I suspect he won't be here in August. Klopp simply doesn't play the football he requires and he isn't good enough to change that style to suit him. Sell him for £15m-£18m and take the loss, it was a stupid fucking fee to pay in the first place, you would have thought Carroll would have taught the club a lesson but clearly not. He is still a 15-20 goal a season striker for the right club, but we're not it.
At least you could have benteke and fellaini to hoof the ball up to!I've always liked him but I'm glad it was Liverpool that took the plunge on him in the end rather than United (who were heavily linked to him at the same time) - he'd have been just as ill-suited to Van Gaal's tactics.
