Quote from: Holtenderinthesky on October 07, 2012, 02:40:08 PMAlthough Bent is a better player, he doesn't link the play from the midfield as well as Benteke and we need 11 men for this game, not 10. We saw at West Ham how pointless Bent can be if we dont get the ball to him. Exactly! In my opinion you cant have one player the rest of the team has to play around, it can't work that way and we will suffer for it if his form dips. Having Gabby and Benteke together means we have more options when attacking, not just setting Bent up for him to score and take the credit.

Surprised but will trust Lambert on this. He's come in and shaken a few up and got them out of their comfort zones, Bent clearly being one of them. It's down to the players to make it impossible for them to be dropped. Something we've lacked for years.
Bent ran his mouth off. Respect to Lambert for showing who's boss.
