Benjani

Not into slagging players off...BUT...For fucks sake, for a kick off he needs to learn the offside rule, he's rarely marginally offside either he's always offside by miles!

He looks like he couldnt give a fuck half the time but perhaps that's just his natural body language, I dont know.

One thing I do know is that after some god awful miss, or being tackled theres little that winds me up more than his stupid fucking smile!

You score - You smile
You do something shit - You dont smile

its really annoying his lack of understanding for the offside rule, he ain't that bad and if he can stay onside he would be able to have a lot more chances at goal.

he's our lucky charm.

never lost against arsenal and has a habit of scoring against the shite.

Do you sit and cry when you have duffed your load after 30 secs or try to laugh it off

He REALLY grinds my gears.
How is he still starting matches?

Ok, I'll always be fond of him due to his debut derby goal but really, if we're going to accept that Vass is a bit shit then we need to accept that Benji is also a bit shit. Lacks pace and his goal scoring record is shit, probably due to his lack of understanding of the off side rule. He's a championship striker whether we like it or not.

Let's face it aswell, he hardly scored in the Derby, it just brushed his face! That goal was Petrov's making baby.

benjani is not the future

i think, whilst Jo is struggling, he's our best option. :o

Sturridge/Jo and Robinho for me

Strurridge is fine to bring on late on as a sub but he can't hold the ball up and we'd get over run quickly.

Benjani may not be prolific but he can bring the players around him into the game... and since Robinho and Ireland are the one's scoring at the moment that can only be a good thing.

I'd play Sturridge, who has looked good all season given the chance over Benji and Ched to be honest.

I know there's the argument you can't play Studge 90mins a week at his age and it's best all round to slowly break him in but he's a better option than Benji who doesnt seem to do very much at all.

Also whilst we're on the subject of strikers, yes I'm aware that apparently Jo has been a naughty boy but isnt it time Hughes put the TEAM before HIS own EGO and sorted his shit out?

We're not playing Elano or Jo cos the delicate genius of Mr Hughes has fallen out with them? Mind numbingly stupid if this is the case.

He didn't want to be here and wasn't good enough when we were skint, so he's certainly not good enough now. He should be fucked off in the January sales with the brown pink panther.

We have never lost against anybody Vass scores against

Because running, even into offside positions, producing nothing is better than pure unadulterated talent.

Elano was on for a good 5 seconds before he split the defence wide open yesterday, Benji on the other hand stood behind the defence with that inane grin on his face for 90mins.

Benji 1
Elano 0

You think? Benji got 90mins, Elano got 18 or so, Benji wins. Hughes is happy.
