Benteke is class but he's a confidence player, his goals often came in patches, score for four games then a five game drought. I remember he was allowed to go back home to Belgium one time because he was so low on confidence and out of form.

What you just said about Belgian players being fun to watch is a bit like what I think about Dutch players. A lot of them are so elegant and have ridiculous technique, van Basten, van Persie, Bergkamp, Cruyff... They seem to produce all these world class players but still haven't won a World Cup. Barely heard of most of their current side though.
