Luke channeling his inner Wout there

Are you trying to wind up the Ayew death squad?

Think he might have shot quite a few of them before now if that was the case.

I wholeheartedly agree with that, and I can often seem to pro-senior where I actually am not, the youth team is exciting and unquestionably the future. Just maintain that senior’s have plenty to offer and experience of matchdays is helpful to youth, so even then I say that from the perspective that it benefits the youth! Disappointed today not see further youth at least on the bench, but aware it was chosen to play many in the u21’s, which is another debatable selection.

Ooohhhh, big talk.

It’s the drawing of a correlation between the two events that the problem.

No wonder he is shite if he has been on the lash for the last two years

Do love a redemption story.

Would love Monga to be able to unlock Daka’s scoring, would be lovely

Rotation for Ayew, the old man, and Page played recently ( yesterday?) and not debating if that was the right call or not, but got to use the depth

Naysayers gonna be struggling before kick off today it seems.

Who would you prefer that is currently on our books?

Ayew for pudding for you

Understand Hamza, would have been nice to have some youth on the bench, but better

Hard to see how it could be much better tbh.

Not too much to moan about there

As much as anything we need to get into much better habits, quicker moving the ball, better press, shooting more, etc, and winning should follow.

I think you are wrong and this type of would be circumstantial claim is made to act as evidence in an argument/point of view, as it clearly has little value in isolation.

Just a masterful misdirection for opposition defenders.

Only played twice this season, and one of those gave an assist. Compared to Ayew 8 games, 1 goal, no assists, he is looking like a machine. Or Daka, 8 games, no goals. Or Stephy, 7 games, 1 assist. Starting to think our ‘non-Abdul’ senior squad forwards are rubbish,

That’s fine, but you have to bear in mind these guys are young, less so Fats obvs, they can suffer from heads dropping when it does not go perfectly, but yes, these two on full gas 100% of the time is what we all want. We want JJ charging forward, a perfect Winks, Jannik dropping balls onto Fats toes high up the wing, Ricardo bursting into the box, Soumare bursting through the middle in of his to-rare rampages and Daka running onto balls over the top. These are the perfect outcomes in every scenario, but we are not there and if we can get there (and how) will hopefully become clear during the season,

No, it’s was a question, I was unsure if you were saying that our older players are naff on the pitch, therefore they cannot be helpful for our younger players, something I obviously would disagree with. Anyway, who cares, we are all here for the same.

You don`t get to cop out that easily. I made the point that the senior pro's are perhaps not good enough at what we want in terms of on pitch performances, but you are also saying this translates to them being a poor influence as well?

Anyway. No player should be immune from criticism, it has seemed more of a comment than a criticism.

But this is an assumption that he does not get that from our senior pro's. We are so busy panning our senior pro's we don`t stop to think perhaps they are valuable to the playing unit at large, despite our disgruntlement with them being slow, expensive or some other less than desirable attribute. Maybe they are as horrific as some fear, but maybe not! You absolutely would want the seniors to have a word with Monga about his diving (Maybe Ayew shows him how to win free kicks from it )
