As far as I remember he was a Lucas fan - and he was extremely stubborn to the point of lunacy
Go on .............
He was spot on. That post written before Benteke signed is more accurate than most written on this site after watching him play for four months in a red shirt.
I stand by the view that our attack is a mess even without Benteke but that doesn't negate the issue that he's not suited to us at all. His West Ham performance was in the wake of a firm talk from Klopp telling him he needed to be more involved and his abject performance suggests to me that he will never become a top player who is likely to succeed at a big club. Rodgers signed him to keep hold of his job for another year. There was never any strong belief that a side previously used to the buzzing, hounding movement of Suarez and Sterling can adjust to someone of Benteke's style.
The worst thing is we've seen it all before.

Exactly - there is so much shite written on here someone has to be right once in a while.
I remember the site went through a terrible phase of dredging up historic posts to prove other posters wrong - and that has a very negative effect.
Whilst I think Ryan to be more knowledgable than most I don't think it's good form to be dragging up your own posts to show everyone what a clever bastard you are - just an opinion like.

Did Klopp really say 3 words or is it just tabloid sensationalism?

[article]Mark Noble’s goal-line clearance that stopped Lucas giving Liverpool a late lifeline in the 2-0 defeat at Upton Park was reward for Slaven Bilic’s policy of keeping somebody on at least one post when defending corners.
Most Premier League sides have abandoned the standard Sunday League tactic of putting men on the line as part of using a zonal marking system.
But Bilic and his goalkeeper Adrian prefer to keep the insurance policy, and it works. Hammers have let in just two goals from corners all season, with only Arsenal, Spurs and Crystal Palace conceding fewer.[/article]

Yay. Back to this argument about men on the post again.
It's as tiresome as zonal marking. Just cos it's easier to see when it fails, doesn't mean it's necessarily at fault more often.
It's lazy, clichéd reporting & punditry at its finest.

I'd like to know why we bring all our players back if we left two in the centre circle I would expect at least three defenders to stay back - in which case we have three or four less people in the box - less crowded - easier for the keeper - and we have outlets on the break
Yes it's baffling why we encourage a crowded penalty area and of course there's no immediate outlet if we win possession. I guess there is a reason, anyone?
Added to which they are obviously useless at defending anything anyway
Maybe it's some kind of footballing equivalent of 'an infinite number of monkeys'?
At least one should be able to get it clear
We need an illegal number of monkeys.
I barely have time to post these days mate, and my opinions on Benteskey haven't changed since that post back yonder, so thought I'd just re-quote it rather than typing it all out again.
To be fair, Ryan got it spot on.. Is exactly how it has panned out..
In fact many of us in here saw it coming, why we then went ahead and signed, just mates the whole situation much more laughable.
It's so obvious he died suit the style of pay and the players around him..
Well worthy of a reposts that @Ryan.. I doff my cap off to you..

Arf arf- actually it's not a bad idea they are probably our fastest players
