Jordan Ayew - sold to Swansea

[Villa in Denmark]

Defence needs sorting badly, that really means putting Okore in till Jan along side who though? Richards we all know should be right back and who do we play at left back?
Demi's priority I guess.

I wonder if putting either Clark or Lescott and LB and bringing in another CH, Okore or someone else might stiffen us up?

I think it would take a truck load of Viagra to stiffen us up at the moment.

I think Lescott Okore Richards as a 3 needs to be tried.

I think Lescott Okore Richards as a 3 needs to be tried. 

...in a court of law for impersonating capable footballers, and fraud.

[ozzjim]

I started to really like him when it clear to everyone how much losing hurt on the pitch after the Swansea game. He has steadily got better and better and today he was excellent. And what a stunning strike! A bit like Benteke vs Albion a few years back.

It's very possible that it has taken all of these French lads a few months to really understand the demands of the PL, but him Gana and Veretout are starting to look good. It's such a shame Amavi is injured as he would be very much a part of this conversation too.

Anyway, back to Ayew, he's clearly a wide player and if we had a proper goal scorer in the middle today we'd have won the game. He destroyed Collocini today.

[PaulWinch again]

He is a shining light for me. That run he went on that got the corner that Gestede nearly scored from was brilliant. He works so hard for the team.

[pauliewalnuts]

I like him, too. His attitude is spot on.

If we get relegated, he's top of the list of players we need to keep.

[PeterWithesShin]

He's another example of being patient with new players, he was getting some right stick not too long ago. Sometimes players take time to settle so give them the chance.

And if you could bottle the attitude of Hutton and Ayew and give it every other player we'd have a much better chance of staying up.

[Ron Manager]

Hutton's crossing improved today.

[SoccerHQ]

My new favourite player, magnificent second half even without the goal as he ran and ran and ran.

If more of our side had his spirit and quality we'd be out of the bottom 3 imo. He wouldn't have trouble finding another prem club next season. A shame we didn't sign him when Benteke was here as he does so much good work outside the box.

Today also showed he has to play as wide forward, central striker isn't his game and restricts him.

[David_Nab]

Loved how he scored then just wanted to carry on to go for a win.

Doesn't stop running and was a constant menace in the second half just need more players around him.Gestede was good in the conditions today but I still feel he is too limited

Has anyone heard the phrase "signed the wrong brother" lately?

[PeterWithesShin]

Has anyone heard the phrase "signed the wrong brother" lately?

Only from me as I have the Swansea one in my FL league team.

[OzVilla]

Whatever happens we must keep him.
