 If RH is going to use the lump it the field tactics then Benteke is a far better option.Play Batshuayi alongside side him as mentioned, must be worth a shout. I was informed a while back that Batshuayi wasn't a conventional target man who would win balls in the air and that his game was all about getting the ball to feet and running the channels.This has been very obvious during his time with us and he is being asked to fulfil a role that is not his forte.

Bit like Wilf put up top. I have the impression that Hodgson doesn't know what he is doing, and/or cannot adapt to circumstance, given the rigidity of his mindset, acquired over a long career. The game has changed, and he has been left behind - it's time to say thanks and look to the future.

| He would do well if wd got the ball into his feet in thd box and hog players around him. Sadly wd font? And a target man he ain't. So while he may score thd odd goal fof us, not thd answer to our problems. Unless of course roy changes his tactics and plays benteke with him, rather than replace him. But that's not going t happen because wd need e defensive midfielders every game.

| He is the best striker at Chelsea and I think Lampard will use him.
