Yes, Benteke is a top-level striker being held back by Zaha. 

 

His end product has historically been hit and miss, yeah, though I'd argue his numbers aren't all that bad considering he's playing in a very negative team largely devoid of creativity. I'm not even really a fan of his, and I can't say I'm particularly desperate to see him play for us given what he'd cost, but you said he was a terrible player which is quite obviously not the case. 

Well he doesn't have great numbers, his greediness is to the detriment of his team and teammates and he has often cost his team goals. He's also a notorious diver and has a terrible attitude. None of those are the hallmark of a great player. If I wanted someone to piss about with the ball and produce little I'd sign one of those freestyler lads, they'd be cheaper. So in many ways he is a terrible player, having skills and pace doesn't make you good, doing something with it does.

Certain teams suffered with 5 subs and drinks break.. now Man U have to play by the proper rules they will be found out and have tonight 

Plus they weren't given a nonsense penalty.

Got to disagree with you there mate. How many pundits casually reveal, live on air, that a player was dropped by the former manager because he was banging his daughter? There should be more of this kind of punditry imho.

Really??😂😂 were is this evidence?

There should be, but it looks like Sky threw him under the bus with their apology and disclaimer that Zaha never met Moyes's daughter.

Ha ha - m’ learned friends in the slander dept were already looking at the latest yacht catalogue

Absolutely fair play 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[Vacamion]

 

It's OK Evra, Sky's legal team have said we'll apologise and then we are totally legally straight and no away fans will ever sing at Moyes that Zaha was boffing his daughter...

"Kieran Tierney injured in the warmup"

Me and @Master Fox have had dealings, but I can't remember Zaha

You have to laugh at West Ham fans, game's not even started and #MoyesOut is already trending on twitter

Zaha used to play for Man United? 

From what I can gather, Fergie signed him, tried it on with him, was knocked back so and left in the huff, replaced by Moyes. 
Wilf then tried it on with Moyes’s chihuahua and was subsequently binned. 
 

Pretty sure that’s the gist of it 👍

It’s easier for refs to enforce the rules correctly without a 60k crowd baying at them - expect more before the resumption of normal service  - just don’t sack OGS until he’s trashed the club 

[Kingleicester]

18 goals in the first 3 games, could this be a goal scoring weekend record in the league, I’d imagine there will be at least 3 in the arsenal game, Maybe worth a cheeky bet

Ey its original lads, don't mind it - what low hanging fruit?!

[Leicester_Loyal]

Sky apology for anyone that missed it.

[Vacamion]

 

I think this will be about 15 nil to Arsenal.

Me gran would always put the biscuit-ey cake things in as close to the end as possible to keep them firm.

On that basis, to me he's got less.

Instead of apologising sack Evra off and employ proper pundits not just to tick a box.

He offers more incite into the game than the subconciously racist dinosaur sat opposite him. If sky were having a clear out I've no idea how Souness survived.

Evra has had his fair crack of the whip as a football pundit when will they **** him off?? He’s shite 

He helps meet the diversity quota, is popular on social media and he's pro Man United. He's here to stay.
