Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood has called on Christian Benteke to break his scoring drought.
The Belgian striker has not hit the back of the net since December 20 and again failed to tally in Saturday's 1-0 loss at Newcastle United.
Benteke has been well below par this season, as have a number of other Villa players, but Sherwood feels he needs just one scoring effort in order to break the shackles.
If you look through the whole squad then no-one is really playing to their maximum," said Sherwood.
"You look at Christian because he was the headline striker and everyone wanted him. I thought he did well, but he needs a goal."
Benteke has netted just two Premier League goals from 18 appearances this season after scoring 29 goals in 60 league outings prior to the 2014/15 campaign.
