This is the Real Christian Benteke

After Tuesdays defeat against West Ham the inter-webs were taking a world record breaking shit on Christian Benteke. I was hard pressed to find a pundit who didn't partake or suggest his exit. In desperate need for reassurance I started sorting through his goal scoring record and can now officially say: CHILL THE FUCK OUT.

While this hasn't been his best season, nor anywhere near what people had hoped - it also hasn't been his worst. Here is some cause for hope:

Perfection. No data needed.

2011/2012 - Belgian Pro League

The common thread here is that Benteke does most of his scoring after the new year. He will break his duck and when he does it will be wonderful.
