2) Liverpool’s current style just doesn’t suit Benteke
When you sign a target-man style striker for £32.5million, you need to make sure he delivers. A player like that needs service, and Liverpool‘s playing style just isn’t providing. On a day where Liverpool were poor all over the pitch, their attacking lacked real creativity and flair, as they really struggled to break down a West Ham side who only needed to defend after taking the lead early on in a 3-0 win for the Hammers.
Benteke‘s only chance of the match came in the 93rd minute as Liverpool’s service into the box was just not good enough. And now, with Philippe Coutinho out suspended for the Reds‘ trip to Manchester United in two weeks time, Liverpool will need to be more creative in order to try and avoid a repeat of today’s bad day at the office.
