[Villafirst]

The usual: picked an injury playing for Ghana and a doubt for the Wolves game....there's a surprise.

I think it'll be interesting to see how we get on without him to be honest.
Could well be a blessing in disguise

I think this is it . He will be behind in selection process  to McCormack for the number 10 role now . i feel he is a luxry  player and McCormack and grealish are too so his injury means can put out a team without him and see where the land lies

Yep, fucking great news our best player is injured.

[Pete3206]

You couldn't make it up could you? We lose a player that can turn a game and people see it as a good thing. It's right up there with 'where do we go when Bruce gets us promoted?'

Bonkers.

I don't think anyone is suggesting it's a good thing, more like an enforced change might work out better and click.

That.

Stops us trying to fit too many strikers in the team, often out of position. We have an embarrassment of riches there, but picking too many leaves us short everywhere else. Plus I don't think he anything near the best player, all fart no shit. Would have him below Kodjia, McCormack and Gestede for a place up front, and behind Adomah and Grealish as wide midfielders.

Yes I thought exactly the same the other day about Barca playing Neymar, Messi and Suarez upfront. I thought why play so many luxury players it's just not right.

Sorry- haven't read all the posts but I thought Ayew was suspended for the Wolves game  after picking up 5 bookings. Highly likely I am wrong I hasten to add

So you're watching Barcelona now eh? Turncoat.

I was just doing a study of their style as someone said Bruce doesn't exactly play Barcelona type football.

Tish is suspended v Wolves.

The way we have been going I'd be happy with 1983 Barcelona type football. Nobody would roll us over without consequences.

I think Ayew is on 4 yellows. Quite a few are on 3 or 4.

He's not a striker who plays through the middle, he's a wide forward. Jack, the way he's played, is basically a shittier version of him because he's slower and somehow manages to take an even longer amount of time to make a decision as to what to do with the ball. Adomah's still just settling in.

Ayew is way down the list of reasons why we're shit.
