I've been saying this for a good while. Some on here took offence. Eze, like Zaha previously is beyond criticism. PV was lambasted for leaving him out, Roy was a hero for bringing him back.
I look forward to seeing if Glasner can fit him into the new tactical plan. I'm not so sure we can afford luxury players who don't put in the amount of effort that is needed for a pressing game.

At least we didn't lose as many predicted and a draw was what many would have settled for. I didn't see much lamentation, but there were many with gut wrenching pain when Starman's superb centre grazed Woodrow's head and nestled in the bottom corner of our net.
I was right behind the cross and I didn't see the ball cross the line, but the Luton lot made clear what had happened. I was beyond consoling. Even worse was my fear they would go on for another. Very happy to hear the full time whistle.

Dream on !!

They are off to Marbella & have friendly v Bodo/Glimt at 15.00 on Thurs.

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

Some thoughts on the key themes from yesterday's game.
I don't think the substitutions had anything to do with Luton's equaliser - we were actually very much on the front foot in the final minutes, and managing it well. There was what looked a clear foul on Ahamada which allowed Luton to break. Andros delivered a good ball but normally a cross from that angle doesn't create too much danger. Their goal was one of those things, not inviting a big post-mortem after a pretty good performance from the boys.
Linked to the above, the ref was one of the worst I can recall seeing - I was particularly unhappy about him failing to notice Morris's constant backing in and grappling of Andersen, and giving free-kicks the wrong way round.
Mitchell had a couple of lapses but generally performed quite well, and created what looked an unmissable headed chance for JPM.
Ayew surely wasn't fit and those who said he shouldn't have been taken off must have been watching a different game from me. Eze was the best player on the field by a mile in the 2nd half, again not quite sure about some of the lukewarm comments about his performance. Agree with Munoz comments, highly energetic and dangerous first half, but lost his way later in the game, particularly defensively.
I actually thought there was some encouragement to be taken from the game despite the disappointing end. Hiowever, their equaliser was the difference between feeling pretty safe from relegation and thinking we still have work to do.

For people that say Eze doesn’t work hard for the team.

Last season he ranked among the top 10 players in the Premier League for pressures resulting in a turnover of possession.

His relaxed style doesn’t mean he doesn’t work.
