What defensive pairing can handle Benteke?

[Marton]

Question is this:

Benteke is fit and in form. He is being played as designated target player by his manager and relishing the direkt and improved service by his teammates.
As a result we seen a couple of games he becomes unplayable and the central defenders cant handle him. For example he totally dominated Skertel in the FA semi.
A few defenders though is dirty enough (and helped by the occasional blind refreee) to make him focus on other things a few might also have the ability to cover him fairly.
So whats the verdict on defenders in the remaining fixtures?

West Ham : Collins & Burke
Southampton: Yoshida & Fonte ?
Burnley: Shackell & Duff
Arsenal: Mertesacker & Koscielny

Would have been interesting to see the Beast against God in his prime.

Isn't the only major prem team he's yet to score against here is Man. City.

So that would suggest Kompany usually comes on top in his duels.

God + God,  no probs. 

[PeterWithesShin]

Maldini and McGrath may have had a chance.

[Percy McCarthy]

God and Barson.

[Ron Manager]

Micky Droy and Harry Cripps

Ah, the beautiful game......

[Jimbo]

King Kong and Godzilla.

[Risso]

I can't think of anybody.  He's built like a brick shit house, but skilful to boot. 


*I suppose the shit answer would be "all the ones that played against him earlier this season".

Only Terminators sent back in time can save defences from Benteke.
