it's because he doesn't charge around like a lunatic. he's not a blood and thunder and graft player. but still he looks far more likely to score than anyone else in our team. he has had more shots on target than anyone else in the side.I wish some on here qiuld give Benik credit where due . 13 goals this season with an ever changing partnership up front speaks volumes. Dont expect him to graft for 90 mins, but when he does its normally productive. He's am instinctive striker and I for one hope he is here for the long haul. Listen to his post match.....he clearly loves it here too
there's another part of his game which is essential in this league - he is happy to travel through teh box with the ball at his feet. bradswhaw cannot do this. bennet can to an extent. afobe will actually slow the ball down in teh box. will put his foot on the ball. this creates space for everyone else as they have time to move into position. we are so used to head down chargers, blood and thunder - i.e charge at the goal, shoot, or pass as quickly as possible. you need a bit of nous in this league. bennet has got it too. so has afobe.
