gestede on for ayew

[PaulWinch again]

Lovely build up there, but Amavi you can't commit like that.

Veretout reminds me a bit of Barry you know, the way he moves with the ball. Bit faster, but then so is my nan and I buried her 10 years ago.

Well played Ayew. Worked his nads off and did really, really well.

[JUAN PABLO]

must say sanchez has been great today so far

[Toronto Villa]

How many players they had forward then.

Whoever just said about Gabby is spot on - if there was any sense, he would lose a couple of stone, and in the last 15 minutes of a game be a weapon.

Sanchez has been a fucking don.

Veretout will be a hell of a player after a few games.

A leaner Gabby would be a faster, stronger option than anything we have right now. Late in the game he can hold up play, chase down tired defenders. No defender would want him playing up and tight because he can turn and get away. I really hope he is motivated to become that player in the last few years of his career.

Gestede. We might start lumping it now. That's ok though.

[Smirker]

Rudy, correct decision.

[tim]

Here we go - balls out to the end...!
lets make something happen.

[ozzjim]

Oh god NZogbia diving on the floor.

[maigrait]

Rudy is defo not quick

[Toronto Villa]

Whatever happens between now and the end this has been so encouraging.

corner villa

[Matt Collins]

I'm still bracing myself for the inevitable so I won't be disappointed when that young striker scores in a bit

[maigrait]

Whatever happens between now and the end this has been so encouraging.

You are right. Green shoots and all that.

[Flamingo Lane]

Oh dear.  Gestede can't do that.
