I've just entertained myself by replacing andi with emile heskey and imagining the outcome of each of those goals.

That thing gave his height as 6'2. That can't be right?

Apparently so, whoscored.com is usually pretty reliable for anything like this and they have him as 188cm, I was pretty surprised by that myself as he looks quite a bit shorter.

From the video:

The goals against liverpool and man u have got to be 1 and 2 in our goals of the season, Benteke's part in each is exceptional and they're both wonderful first time finishes, the Man U in particular is a clean a strike as you'll ever see.

He's not that tall.

[paul_e]

The official site says he is, I think it's fairly safe to assume they're not making it up...

It's a conspiracy to get more money for him. He's actually shorter than Barry Bannan.

are we charging by the pound?  Dunne's worth a fortune!!

I line 'em up.........

They were nice, but we've had a good season as far as scoring good goals in concerned.

I'd add in Lowton's against Swansea, Benteke's against West Brom and his header against Everton and Gabby's against Reading (the build-up rather than the finish).

The finish was pretty sweet too at Reading. I would add Charlie's against West Ham.

I agree, I just think those 2 show just what we can become if we can kep this team together, both lovely team goals scored by a 21 year old with assists from 22 year old.  The Man U in particular highlights the best of both of them perfectly, Brilliant composure, pace and strength from Benteke and perfect movement and a sweet strike from Weimann, it's just a lovely goal to watch.  If it had come for the other team in that match it would have been shown thousands of times over to highlight how great they are.

The cross and cushioned header for our third at Everton was sexual healing.

[richardhubbard]

He is a very natural goal scorer, potentially a villa great given time or worst case if we sign up a lot of money!

Absolutely, we actually haven't scored many 'bread and butter' goals this season, that's one of the reasons our goals for column is a bit low, we've scored great goals or struggled to make chances.

The only downside to his game this season has been some of the easy chances he should have put away but for a player his age that's understandable i suppose.

That can be said about all strikers, cole, shearer, benteke, bent , even van persie have all missed sitters- in fact probably benteke has missed more sitters than andi but its the fact they are getting in positions which is good- finishing will improve with age and confidence - I'm delighted with him this season.
