I think spangles loves to twist things, it helps him be the wum he is.

I don't like the term or idea of levels in football, I'm guessing you do, probably a fundamental part of your football beliefs. Lets say I do agree with your idea of levels then, Benteke only could reach that level because of his team.

yes that's it in a nutshell football is all about levels, Benteke was a big fish in a little pond at struggling Villa, biggest game he played in was against Arsenal in the Cup Final and unfortunately he got found out, there is a difference in levels between a semi where he played well against us and put himself about and a final where the pressure seemed to undo him. Since he has played for us we have never really played to his strengths simply because we don't have the players to suit his style, I would of like to of seen us play with two wingers who can cross a ball in for him to attack as I do think he can be a very potent threat if used correctly...

I said when we signed benteke why? We just got rid of Carroll/ballotellie both simular to benteke we don't have any wingers and when we do put people out wide they cut inside. For benteke to be successful he needs crosses into the box waste of money.

When we're talking about how to get the best out of benteke, we're talking about how to get the best out of benteke for the team. I'm not convinced Rory that we can just say wingers are the simple solution to helping benteke score much more regularly, if you know a player has that aerial/heading ability surely the other team are going to mark him tightly to stop him, that does help move the defence back though, creating more space for Runners, which lallana and allen have so far profited from this season with late goals. This is partly why I'm suggesting villa might have almost got as much out of the belgian as possible. How can we base our whole footballing methods on runners, or a runner as people want to see the 4411 deployed with. it'll be like watching a boss newcastle side.
