Rudy thats it , up to this season he never looked like he could play with anyone, but he seems to feed very well of the Beast, regardless of the service maybe he is just coming of age.

Gaby best performance come with playing Benteke and Carew. Must be suited to play off a big man.

His best years are ahead of him, with the setup we now have.

He was also really good a few season's back under MON when he was playing as a lone striker.

He was indeed. I remember when we lost Carew and Gabby stepped up like a natural, scoring quite a few, in fact, we were better with Gabby alone than when Carew returned, IIRC.

What I thought was great by Gabby against Sunderland is that he was one of, if not the first to get to Benteke to congratulate him and really meant it after all 3 goals. It showed to me that he was really happy that Christian had scored each time, no other striker having a sulk syndrome.

I think it's more than he's all about the self belief, when things start going for him he's a top player and one of the most dangerous strikers in the league.  GH pushed him out wide and didn't seem to want him, which knocked his confidence massively and ruined him for a season, then TSm came in and wanted him to be a long ball outlet in the team for his workrate and little else so he never got chance to get going.  Lambert is giving him a run of games and supporting him to play his own game and the belief has come from it.

Benteke is the first forward that I've seen gabby actually link up with regularly. His relationship with young was different and with Carew pretty weak

Just checked his stats, 8 goals in the last 11 starts. Phenomenal for a winger/support striker.

I thought for Benteke's first goal Gabby's celebration, the intense mad yelling, actually scared him a bit.

He very rarely used to shoot from outside the box  Can't remember many until this season (5-1 vs Blues excepted).

Now shots from outside the box have given us two goals in a week.

Gabby was excellent as the lone striker in MON's 4-5-1 and I remember loads of us here calling for that to be our formation and team. Of course MON persisted with a 4-4-2 that was ineffective at home.
