Can see why he was a fans favourate at Palace. Thought he was very good today. Not the greatest offensively but a great player at keeping the ball and drawing free kicks to relieve pressure

Which is why he shouldn't start. Bring him on when we have a lead to protect. Or when playing a team far superior to us.

[Sunbury Fox]

On the ball I didn’t think he was bad yesterday but he was so far tucked inside that it gave Young a free pass for the whole game, which is 100% on Cooper. In games like yesterday’s , I think he might be more useful as a central striker with 2 flyers either side of him, as he can hold up and lay off the ball effectively. He obviously won’t score many goals, though.

He’s past it. That touch when he was half put through proved it. Palace must be absolutely laughing 

[The Doctor]

Can't wait to see this bloke taking up the bertrand role the moment we get in an actual manager.

[SK3Blue]

First we made the Palace lot chuckle with 7m for Ayew then we send them into hysterics by taking their other non goslscoring striker, couldn’t make it up, especially when we already have Daka. 
 

Desperate panic signings that highlight the clubs lack of any Plan A let alone a Plan B

[James_lcfc]

One of the few times we got into a good position yesterday and his first touch was like a pass

That’ll be Reid, the other heads in the sand signing on a 3 year contract. It bothers me there are employees at the club supporting the manager with these horrible requests for past it experience, Cooper and whoever they are must go

[oz was my hero]

Maybe just me but I really can't see why we blew money on him. I would rather have seen sharky given an extra year. No transfer fee and that guy would give his all for the badge. Seen nothing yet from ayew to convince me he's an upgrade.

Agreed. 
 

Ayew offers more than Reid.

For 5m and his wage packet, there are at a guess 150 similar level l, and available players throughout the EFL and Europe's second tier leagues that could and would fulfil a similar role. And be aged 23-28..

 

It was as unimaginative signing as possible to be. 

[Collymore]

I really like him in the side. 

 

He drops deep, is good on the ball although not spectacular. 

 

I just feel his physicality is a proper weapon but he's quite creative at the same time. 

 

I can see why Cooper picks him in the side even against inferior opposition.

Done well today. Wins free kicks galore.

[whoareyaaa]

Rather have Bilal in there. Should be coming off the bench not starting 

[The Horse's Mouth]

He’s not put a foot wrong, do agree he should be more of an option to see a game out though. 

[JimJams]

He's a scapegoat and the ire of many before a ball is even kicked.  Though I agree with @whoareyaaa that he's probably a better bet as a bencher to bring on in situations where you're struggling to get out.

He's been fine so far today but people just want to shit on someone. I'd still prefer to see Fats with Mav and Buo all at once, but Cooper won't start that.

[sm1]

There's definitely one thing he's learnt from playing with Zaha, that's how to win a free kick.

Or a right one.

Proper battling performance today, which is what we needed.

[coolhandfox]

Does a job, has the know how.

[Levi Port]

Love him, everything we lacked when we were relegated. Was so so good today

He looks after the ball well and can win a free-kick or 3. Sometimes he wins them when  actually trying to stay on his feet and play might be more beneficial to us though! - We aren’t particularly good at attacking set pieces!  
 

He doesn’t press well though. He goes through the motions at times, as if his closing down is blocked by a lorry load of spilt syrup.

Was doing my head in second half how he was just trotting around, midfield was getting overrun and somehow he nearly managed to play the whole game.

Safe hands. It was at this point. Cooper brought Soumare  on. 

[Tommy G]

Brilliant today - he’s just got the know how. 8/10

Ayew makes Soumare look like a work horse
