Liverpool legend Aldridge: Benteke success depends on his midfield pals

Liverpool legend John Aldridge says Christian Benteke will only be as good as the support he receives from midfield.

Aldo wrote in the Sunday World: "We saw how threatening the big man can be last week as when a decent ball was delivered into the box against Bournemouth, he got on the end of it and scored the winning goal.

"He should have had a second as well, but hit the woodwork with a late effort.

"Yet once again, the concern for me against Bournemouth was the lack of decent crosses going into the box to feed Benteke. I hope Rodgers and his coaching staff are working on this issue every day on the training pitch because they haven't been producing it in matches so far."
