Had an annus mirabilis he may have never lived up to, but he really wasn't like some Darren Bent figure, having the whole of a relegation-struggling team geared around getting him tap-ins. He was immense for the team as well, in our buildup play and all of that stuff. Strange how it fell off for him a bit, but that happens sometimes.

Didn't help him at Liverpool that he was signed by Rodgers and within a few months Klopp was in and he didn't seem keen on Benteke. He also had a spell at Palace where he was doing the same as he did at Villa, but his teammates were constantly missing the chances he set up and he seemed jinxed with how his own efforts weren't going in.

You could tell when Benteke was low on confidence. He'd fall to the ground more easily, claiming for freekicks.

When on form, he'd bounce defenders out of the way.
