Last weekend we saw an ex player Benteke score two goals against us .
A player we bought then sold on.
A player now getting into positions.
Someone Tim Sherwood described as "If you feed the beast he will give you goals" meaning send the crosses in. With us in some games he looked woefully lost.
We've seen Mama being a revelation at Palace instead of someone who at times was afraid of the ball. In the same team Martin Kelly is central to the defensive set up there.
Then we turn to Box Of Frogs Balotelli who TPM sat down for two hours with to "get inside his head". He is banging in goals left right and centre for Nice .
Aspas ? Another reject of ours who is currently fifth highest scorer in La Liga on 21 .
Theres plenty of other examples of players who didn't perform for us but are now doing their stuff at other clubs .
So what is it ?
Coaching ? Style of play?
Square pegs in round holes ?
Can't be the coach Skip we got a brand new big shiny red one
!
seriously it's down to our style and perhaps level required,
In Benteke it was definitely style he just didn't fit in with what Jürgen wanted, and it could be argued he has found his level,
Same with Aspas although to be fair to the lad he wasn't given enough opportunities, maybe he too has found a club that suits his level,
Kelly again for me wasn't given enough opportunities, he's much more mature now and obviously experienced, so good luck to him,
As for Balotelli he was just a f***in nutter, determined to F**k things up regardless who he worked under, he will shine in France but I'm betting he has the 'Frogs' eating out of his hands tho,
See what I did there Skip?
