guigousuperstar11 Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 Of course, not every club is completely reliant on a star man upfront, but many become so, or if not based purely on reliance, then at least as a platform to elevate them to bigger and better things. A top goalscorer, at least in a statistical sense will often make a marginal difference to how results pan out. Christian Benteke is one such footballer. His debut season in 2012-13 saw him claim 19 goals in 34 for league games for Villa. Wriggled with injuries last year, his achievements in 2013-2014 consisted of 10 goals in 26 league games, with Villa looking a different team in his absence. They started the 2014-15 campaign in the same vein, and at one point had scored just two goals in six games. There had been murmurings of a relegation fight and potential sacking of manager Paul Lambert.
