All this talk of injury to Wilf Zaha resulting in doom and gloom about our chances for survival suggests that some of our fans think we are a one man team.
Well this is completely disrespectful to the management and the rest of our squad which is full of high quallity players. Yes Wilf is a crowd pleasing maverick type of player but in no way is he alone responsible for us picking up points following the disastrous start to our season. He is one player amongst many others , it is a team game and just because he will be missing for a bit does it mean the team will fall apart. The whole group is better than that. COYP

When it is pointed out that we picked up no points and scored no goals whilst he was out of business the following factors also reigned at that time:

- no Mamadou Sakho;
- four matches of Frank de S***e and their aftermath
- players pardewed before the season even started
- Puncheon mistaken for Pele

Milivojevic in particular was a shadow of his usual self.

We were toilet all over the park, not just right wing.

Agree with Chateau. Whilst we look like less of a threat without with, this season, when he was out, we had FdB and played 4 of the top 6 at that point.
