of me, and I cannot fulfil them, so I am very

seven goals, yet his summer move from Aston Villa has

hardly proved a smooth transition with Klopp telling

Benteke he needed to run more and naming him as a

substitute against Arsenal and Manchester United.

international remained central to his plans.
