Mark Posted 19 May 2021 Share Posted 19 May 2021 Bertrand and Benteke are what mid to lower Premier league sides make, they are Rodgers signings too as he knows Bertrand from Chelsea and signed Benteke at Liverpool. Please stick to what we're good at. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would give us a different option too. Could be good in a tandem with one of the others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox in the North Posted 19 May 2021 Share Posted 19 May 2021 (edited) Not overly keen on Benteke but this team is crying for someone who can head the ball in the box with amount of crosses we whip in. As a plan b a big striker would be useful. Edited 19 May 2021 by Fox in the North Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangecity23 Posted 19 May 2021 Share Posted 19 May 2021 (edited) On the plus side, if we did sign Benteke, then it would prevent him from scoring against us. Maybe we should just pick up all the journeyman targetmen in the prem as they become available on Bosman's then park them in the u23s as overage players. Beaglehole is happy as he can play beagleball, first team is happy because they stop conceeding so many from bloody corners. Pick up Callum Wilson when we can and pay him to stay at home and do nothing for second half of a season and we might finish a season without botching a CL push. EDIT: Wouldn't mind Dan James, but I can't see United letting him go easily. Ole has a bigger addiction to pacy forwards and playing counter attack football than a 12 year old Fifa Player who's nicked his Mum's credit card and loaded up on as many Ultimate Team packs as he can get his grubby little hands on.

I thought this was contrary to how Rodgers saw the game and I would be surprised if this happens, seeing that we are looking to bring in Edouard. We have cried out for a focal point at times in the last couple of seasons and it would be a big change of the way Rodgers views the game for him to do this. A dogmatic Rodgers has been something I have perceived as a weakness, and the fact that he is now becoming flexible in his play, can only be a good thing.

To make it work though you have to commit players to crowd the box.Big men on their own usually don't work.You commit players and of course you get caught on the counter attack. Brighton had an extra man and took the risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teblin Posted 19 May 2021 Share Posted 19 May 2021 Benteke might just be a plan b player. Also to join the Belgian contingent at the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an instance the other week where an incorrect team sheet was input to that system and lots of usually reliable “ITKs” repeated the error. Other option is he works for the club, I suspect the former given how freely he spreads confidential info about the club, I’d imagine you’d be more worried about losing your job if you were a direct employee. Or, he knows one of these two types of people. either way he loves the attention Edited 19 May 2021 by FoxesWalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
