Benteke - BOOOOOO the puns

[rurikbird]

That's not complete Rurik - we need each goal scored with his feet to be further broken down into Left or Right, otherwise people will claim he's one-footed.

There were about 7 left-footed goals among this lot. Pretty good balance, although when given a choice he goes with his right, of course.

By the way about crosses – about half of those goals he scored with his head were diving headers to low angled crosses, where could have possibly used a foot as well (it would have been harder to score this way, but that's not the point). So there were only 4-5 "true" headers where he outjumped a defender and headed it in. To me that shows how inefficient those high floating crosses are as an attacking weapon if even a striker like Benteke doesn't score more than 2-3 of those types of goals per season.

This video shows only 40 goals, not 49. Here's the break-down by the type of goal:

10 goals – received a pass inside the penalty area and finished with the foot
8 goals – header from a cross
6 goals – ran with the ball into the penalty area and finished
6 goals – penalties converted
4 goals – scored from a corner (2 with head, 2 with feet)
3 goals – shots from outside the penalty area
2 goals – beat the offside trap and finished 1 on 1 with the keeper
1 goal – direct free-kick

He only scores from crosses according to Jono. Andy Carroll Mark II, etc.

Not sure terrible puns should be celebrated. We have them every thread anyway. Same with disagreements.

Nice one for putting the other thread where it belongs though. That is a true classic, full of insanity and offering fights over the internet, including rimming threats.
