What defensive pairing can handle Benteke?

[DeKuip]

As good as he's been recently he won't hurt anyone without the service - so the question really should be which team can get the better of our midfield at the moment?
And put like that it does make you wonder how James Collins will sleep this week!

[Ron Manager]

George Curtis.

Always remember the night match against Santos. Pele received the ball with his first touch, swayed past Pat McMahon as if he wasn't there
(the crowd gasped in admiration) and then was faced by the imposing sight of George Curtis. George dealt with this tricky situation by kicking the worlds most famous player very hard and straight up in the air.

George would have dealt with Benteke in a similar manner!

[Malandro]

He's got everything. Dribbles, long range shots, free kicks, headers, assists, tap ins, volleys and pens.

I'll be amazed if Mourinho doesn't try to get him.

can somebody post me the section on how to do web links? I did see it a little while ago, but couldn't find it on the help section.


edit - oh it does it by magic now

Collins and Tomkins*

[Dr Butler]

McGrath and Barson......and then it would be tight

Paul Lambert did a good job and I would have thought Mcleish would have been another!

[Phil from the upper holte]

Paul McGrath, Shaun Teale, Ugo & Southgate all on him at once

[LeeS]

A brick wall couldnt stop Benteke

[Malandro]

Concentrate on Benteke and Jack will rip you to bits.

Tomkins is injured, I think.  West Ham played an 18 year old kid called Burke in their last game.

That kid, Tomkins, is very handy. He'll have Tekkers in his back pocket no worries. I've put a thousand pound on Villa not to score...

So it's Burke and No Hair.

[Marton]

Collins might be out with a back problem and I dont have a clue who they can play beside Burke if that is true....

Even if Collins does play...wonder what its like to go up against the "Hungry Beast" if you past 30 and got an aching back....
