Works his nuts off. Probably explains why he looks 32.

But he really does have deceivingly good pace.

His first touch has really surprised me, I wasn't expecting it to be so good.

Tidy on the ball, industrious, seems to link well with Danny, he's a little like Tevez, all be it less talented all round. Good signing on a free.

It won't be free at all but if he keeps this up, he'll be worth whatever we end up paying.

I was furious when we signed him, but pleasantly surprised so far. Good grafter, good first touch and seems a good finisher.

He's got exactly what we need in a striker.

Good first touch, technique, pace, intelligence, fantastic work rate and a cool finisher.

One of our good signings over the summer!

Hopefully he can get a good run in the team.

Ings runs himself into the ground but unlike Borini (for example) there is end product and a purpose. Borini was a headless chicken who ran around for the sake of running around.

Should keep Benteke out the team for a while if he keeps playing like this

He's doing well.

If he keeps impressing, he should keep Benteke out of the team.

Nice to have some real competition upfront.

If Ings does start over Benteke, then we have the perfect plan B option off the bench if things aren't going to plan.

I love seeing his work rate and passion.  One point today when he tracked back 60 yards and won the ball.  Also showed some nice link up with Sturridge.  His control of one of the balls in the first half was brilliant as well.

Keep it up Dings.

Fast becoming the signing of the season for us. Work rate, great touch, developing a great understanding with Sturridge.

Wasn't sure of him when he signed, but he's shown enough to make up my mind that he will succeed here!

Well in Danny!

If this carries on, Benteke is going to have a hard time breaking back into the squad.

Love to see a player track back and work his bollocks off for the team though; if he can add the odd goal every few games then he should definitely be starting games at the minute.

Love him, works tirelessly and his touch is fantastic. Suprised he's got so much criticism for his first touch, he seems to create good chances from it pretty often controlling some difficult passes

Deserved a goal today, looks great alongside Sturridge aswell

Love how mad he gets when he doesn't put away a chance. Seen him punch the ground a couple of times now. Hopefully won't see it too much but  it probably makes me more happy than it should when a player shows they care. This lad cares.

Bargain. Can't believe there were people bemoaning this transfer, seemingly because he was coming from Burnley and not Barcelona B. He's a scrapper and a fighter and we badly need one. A cult hero in the making.

I know, but seriously - that 'gait' that Whiskey Nose said Hendo had, well it's that kind of run that is half-way in between a sprinters start and plateau. If you watch how an olympic sprinter starts off, they go through about 5 or 6 different phases - I think what old Bacon Face was trying to say was that, they don't 'get their head up'.

Suarez at times started his runs out like this, but got his head up and balance very quickly. Danny Ings has similar movement to Suarez (not as good, of course), but I think the main difference is that Suarez had that one or two more gears. But what was weird today was that, you could sometimes see flashes of 13/14 - and I think the reason for that, was the movement from Ings and Milner at times - I don't know what it was, but I really hope Danny Ings and Sturridge get more starts - then using Benteke when the defenders are fucked from closing down.

He's playing that fulcrum function very well I think.

Although Sturridge scored two, both ar' Dan's had little service really. Until Sturridge scored his first people could perceive he had a quiet game - it was relatively because the service was inadequate. Pass, pass, pass, shift wide with few slide balls in to the box to run on to.

Didn't think he had the quality for where we want to be, and would just be a buy and flip player. His Englishness, age and proven he could score in this league making him a big target for a lot of clubs with ambitions based on staying up and not a lot else. Easy double our money.
However he has proven me wrong. He could be a very handy player for us indeed. Determination, work rate and some decent skills, combined with the fact he's going to score a decent amount means he could be here a long time.

Great to see people admitting they were wrong about him and reassessing their opinion on him, I genuinely knew we'd signed a first class player, saw enough of him at Burnley last season, first class desire, work rate and attitude too, the antithesis of Balotelli.

Alot of casual fans could see it in the summer, so it makes it a little worse that our manager couldn't. For me its not surprising Ings has hit it off so well here, at Burnley he looked to have the profile of a player with the right technical ability, workrate and know how and finishing in the box to make it here. I always maintained that despite the sometimes stimga of English players in comparison to their Continental counterparts, he was and is a level above Borini technically, and at 6 m, at 22 and considering what the likes of Berahino Kane Austin and Mane were being quoted for, Ings for that price was some of the best business this summer. Alongside Gomez and Clyne, it was a smart deal that simply made sense on all levels, price age and ability, but also the sense of how he would fit into what i regards as an 'ideal Rodgers side', a player who could press from the front, dribble and who is attentive and alert in the box with a smart finish to boot.

However despite the Ings deal being a great one, i also felt that it shone a light on another deal that was perhaps not so great and far more costly in terms of price and the impact on the team if said player was to fail. The question wasn't necessarily the players ability, because Benteke is a good player with a potential to maybe be a great one, great in the air, strong as an ox and a good finisher. However the opposition to the deal came from the fact that it was my belief that despite Bentekes ability which he has shown in snippets in his short time here, it made more sense to go for a player with the template of Ings, but of a much better quality, afterall for me that is essentially what Suarez is, albeit with much more copious amount of South American genius. It was almost as if to me, Rodgers was stabbing his own self in the back, because for me the best Rodgers teams haven't been like the Chelsea 04 team, which he may have been trying to recreate, for one due to his own coaching tendancies i doubt Rodgers could ever have a team like that. But what he has coached, is a Swansea team with continental foundations in Ajax and Barcelona, and a counter attacking fast paced menacing Liverpool side reminiscent of 90's United teams inspired by Cantona in his arrogant pomp.

One could argue that despite him not being of that value, spending 32 m on Ings would have made more sense than spending it on Benteke in theory, just for the fact of the template of a striker he is, and how i feel he fits into the type of players and attackers Rodgers has got the best of in his time as a manager, think Borini, Suarez, Dyer, Sturridge, Sterling... Yet for another summer, we went against that when spending money on our biggest signing, that itself doesn't speak well of our transfer policy over the last couple years, because for all the good work we done this summer, the big one, the one signing that is supposed to catapult us to the next level, may have been the wrong choice again.

Very true mate.

Benteke is a good player, but I can't help but think, if we had spent that 50M euros on Higuain in the summer. He'd have been an amazing partner to Daniel (Closest thing to Suarez, after missing out on Sanchez) with a Higuain lite in Ings as 3rd choice.

Shouldn't be any dilemma. Ings has earnt his place in the side and he should continue to play. I also think he might be one of those that benefits from the personalised sessions that Pep Linjders might be running at the club given some of his play is still quite raw. His touch or speed come as no surprise to me at all. I think what I saw of him at Burnley was convincing in that his touch was a class above that of Borini. But with a bit more polish, he can go on to play a role at this club for a long time. He's a really excellent purchase.
Quote from: Dion Fanning

The chants for Kenny Dalglish that were heard again on Wednesday do not necessarily mean that the fans see him as the saviour. This is not Newcastle, longing for the return of Kevin Keegan. Simply, Dalglish represents everything Hodgson is not and, in fairness, everything Hodgson could or would not hope to be.

For me. As things stand Benteke should be the third striker unless form dictates otherwise. The pricetag doesn't matter.

Ings is obviously fighting hard for his place in the team and is surprising everyone with not only with his performances, bit his actual ability and movement.

He's constantly buzzing around looking to get involved and will grab us at least 10-15 goals this season I feel ( if he starts enough games )
