How would Benteke fit Chelsea?
Just because he has a resemblance to Drogba doesn't mean he's a fit for the setup. Drogba was a second option(a ****ing useful second option) in his second spell at Chelsea but that doesn't mean that he fitted the setup, quite often we had to completely change our style of play to accommodate/utilise Drogba(e.g. vs Newcastle where we just peppered them with aerial balls), vs United away where we had loads of space to counter attack but Drogba's lack of speed meant that we often played inward, vs Arsenal away Oscar up top had pace but was subbed off for Drogba in the second half who's only aim was to hold up play as the game was basically played in our final third for about 60% of the game.
The strikers that fit Chelsea's setup at this moment in time have to be able to run the channels, link up the play on the floor, and be able to get off low cut backs usually from the left hand side when Hazard gets past a player or a Fabregas through ball. How often do we score aerial goals other than set pieces(which obviously we're the masters of in the division the past few years) e.g?
If anything Lukaku works better as he's more of a runner than Benteke. Benteke playing in the wrong system however. This doesn't suit him but he will adapt to be a great plan B. I think the only real way to accommodate Benteke is to play the diamond with a faster player next to him(so they can't play a high line).
