We have missed Ayew not playing in the centre in the last two games his hold up play is better than Bentekes, I think he and Wilf would work well in a pair in a 4-4-2

I think the more damaging part of that arrangement is not having Andros out wide, as Ayew comes very central which leaves Kelly as our wide attacking option. While he's a sterling centre back, he's never going to take people on and his crossing and shooting are poor even for a centre back.

This means we looked really narrow vs. Newcastle and were trying to thread the ball through the eye of a needle centrally.

There is a footballer in there somewhere but I just don’t think we will ever find it again at Palace. I just don’t see how we can move him on. Who would want him.........and then there is the wages. It’s just been a disastrous couple of years for him and Palace ( although I am sure his feelings are offset nicely by the 120k a week).

Yes but it won’t have been at £6m a year. I bet nearer £3m

Contributing more in general play, which is encouraging. Getting chances on goal. Happy to stick with him for now.

He will be on the same money, if you offer a reduction on your current contract you are entitled to a free transfer, unless you agree, so no point if the idea is to try and get some money for him

that is still a waste of money, give a free and get someone who can score!

Lacking in choices at the moment but without those injuries I'd rather him on the bench, the hope of getting shot for a few quid is too much of a dream. Hoped to see Wickham given the chance before he slips over again, at least he's got a GPS lock on the goal when given the opportunity

This post was spot on

Benteke performance was not the utter pony we have become used to from him, but, it was nowhere near what you need, expect and demand from a highly paid PL striker. We don't create much and when we do it's wasted having him on the end of it.

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.
