Can score the spectacular but is not a clinical striker.
Needs to play either with another striker or in a system which provides crosses or cut backs from wide and beyond the back line. Doesn't suit is so far. Still early days however
He's fine just short of match fitness. His scoring rate is pretty good so far as well.
I think he's been good so far. Problem is our fans seem to be massive swayed by one bad performance and suddenly he's crap and not suited to us.
Way too early. It's his fitness I'm more concerned with.
He will score the occasional wonder goal but i personally think him in the team is a detriment to it as a whole, doesnt have the required movement/effort needed imo
hard to say. Looks a good player, but hasn't really had the chance to play for klopp too much so far.
BTW, what have your mob done to our lovely olive skinned defender Ilori? Where've you hidden him?
he was on the bench at the weekend
Yet when they needed defensive reinforcements, who got the call.....Keiran Richardson

Standard kneejerkers on his case...
Look at players like Ibra and Drogba, never needed pace (still had some and Tekers has some
Lets judge him after 2 years

Guy is actually really quick. Have you seen him when he manages to break into a full sprint? Like a rhinoceros, but scarier.
I think it's the fitness isn't it? Not sure but I do like him, he's scoring reasonably regularly and I think there is more to come.
lacking a bit of movement for my liking, hoping its down to him not knowing how to fit in the system at the moment

This. Opinions on most players seem to be changing by the game. I'm surprised some haven't called for Klopp's head after yesterday's game.
Oh, and I said it when we signed him and I stick by it, I think Benteke will prove to be a bargain.
He doing alright.
Needs to work a bit harder at times imo.
Personally I think his level is being the main man in a slightly smaller team who will set out their game plan to be quite direct.
His goal scoring record is excellent and on his day he's unplayable but he has to have the right service otherwise he fades out of a game rather than carving out something for himself.
Early days with us and still lots of time to improve though.
Im on the fence to be honest ..
hes done ok....but as the other lads have said ...its his fitness that is the issue....
and will he suit klopps system...
i knew the geordies would beat us when i saw allen and lucas and tekkers upfront
32 million ....yea rinsed there by villa...but im confident he will get much better
Perfect option off the bench.
if hes happy with that role longterm?
