Christian Benteke has not had a good night against West Ham.
Liverpool’s second most expensive signing of all time put in quite a shift against West Ham in Tuesday night’s FA Cup replay, but once again missed a host of chances of chances to give his side the lead.
With the game heading for penalties, the big Belgian had three excellent chances to put his side 2-1 up in the first period of extra-time, but missed them all.
The worst miss of all came after he had been put through one-on-one against Darren Randolph in the home side’s goal from Daniel Sturridge’s pass, but once again Benteke failed to convert a gift of an opportunity.
The Reds were made to pay when Angelo Ogbonna scored in the final minute of extra-time to send the London side through to face Blackburn Rovers in the fifth round.

Christian Benteke doesn't want your charity in front of goal. No. He's going to earn it himself.

To be fair on Benteke, he practices his one on one's against Migs… He probably scores every time 😂😂

The thing about Benteke is that every time I watch him he looks like someone who's never played football before.

This was by far the harshest…
Benteke needs to go back to Villa. Championship standard
