Before you have a heart attack look at top scorers chart [Link]

Only Salah and Jota have double figures. Edouard has a better conversion rate than Bowen and Ronaldo and is not far off Salah, Mane and Jota. The issue is not our strikers' finishing it's the fact we're not creating enough chances. Is that the strikers, the midfield, or both? Mateta actually hits the target more often than not, but he seems to have to create chances out of nothing.

Just to note that the two recent abject and consistently inconsistent perfomances have coincided with the return of Zaha to the starting line-up. A coincidence I'm sure.
With the system Vieira wants to play some may not fit into the overall scheme of things. I don't think Vieira is going to change the 4-3-3, this limits his options in my opinion.
We'll see, the next three games should give us a good clue as any to where all this is headed.

The whole midfield, Attack and Manager were absolute Rubbish today, you would have thought we were playing Man City instead of awful Brentford, Mateta, Olise and Eze should all have started, complete rubbish and terrible decision making from PV.

Scored a worldie midweek and was our best attacking player today. What else do you want from him?

The Zaha bashing is getting f***ing boring now. How about taking a look at Edouard, Ayew, Mateta, Schlupp etc who have all offered nothing over the last two games? Or PV’s inability to influence the game with subs or tactical changes?

We are poor away from home because of our slow build up. We have no counter attacking ability at all because we are too busy fannying about at the back

I agree. I thought Zaha was about our only threat, but that isn't saying much though.
