In a squad with Sturridge fit as well, he would be a good option for them and not out of place. He offers something different to Sturridge.
But as a direct replacement when Sturridge is injured (most of the time) someone like Berahino would have suited them so much more, and not meant they would have had to alter the way they play to get the best out of their striker.

Just seen he hasn't even played a game for them yet, my bad. Thought I read he scored a goal for them.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He scored in a friendly for them against some jabronis
Actually who on this thread has watched all our games and why?
Robb has (although clearly not very closely)
Shinji gas watched all our games plus all our preseason ones!
Anyone else?

He scored a class goal in a friendly. He hasn't player a competitive game yet.
"There's some who think Benteke relies on crosses, he doesn't. He's good with his feet and has a good turn of pace and strength to beat a defender"
I think he is a first and foremost target man who also has good feet and the ability to do something different.
Rather than a quick and skilful striker who is also decent in the air.
Cheers guys thought I was going mad for a second.
How will Liverpool line up with a fully fit squad?
Be hard to fit all off Firminho, Benteke, Coutinho and Sturridge, Milner and Henderson in, all of whom I would imagine have to start given their reputation and price tags?
Will the 5 at the back be ditched?

"Benteke seems to need a partner to play off
Not much different to Balotelli"
He didn't need a partner to play off when he scored 1in2 for Villa.
Ballotelli didn't need a partner to play off the year before he joined Liverpool when he had over a 0.8 strike rate per 90 when played as a lone striker.
Balotelli was just crap, due to himself, there can be no excuses.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
His record for another club means nothing unless he matches or improves on it
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It means a lot, which is what I said. He scored 1in2 for Villa, mostly without a partner and thus he does not need a partner, no matter what club he plays for, he has proved he plays well without a partner. So yeah, it means the opposite of nothing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Does his villa record count for points this season?
So it means nothing
If he ends the season with 1 in 2 then I will agree....so far it looks a big ask.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No it certainly does not, which I why I never said it did. What I did say and I'm saying it for the third time now, hopefully it sinks in, is that Benteke proved he is a good lone striker.

Trust me, you didn't miss much. You guys were atrocious but for one decent shot by Firmino.
Liverpool still don't look any different compared to last season tbh
Most of your games have been on telly, to be fair. Same with us.
West Ham was the only one that wasn't I think. I saw Two and a half of your games because they were on.

I watched some of the preseason as they were on at strange times not colliding with our games.
I do like to watch Liverpool a lot more now, ever since that amazing night at Crystanbul. I turned it off at 3-0 thinking "feck meLiverpool are finally gonna win it"
Imagine my horror when I turn over,3-3 and Suarez is crying. I missed the whole show!!!!!
So now I catch as many games as possible
Waiting on my Texhnomate coming and with cs I'll have Setanta for the 3pm games. Also there's the option of using unlocator and PLP.
Yeah they probably did. Wish I had.
