i dont see why people think he doesnt try or care anymore...he has looked very good this season. do people just look at the assists & goals stats and come to their views. He hasn’t looked good at all this season , for the ability that we have seen from him in the past, to not stand out as an attacking player in a team with such little going forward is bad.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'The Wilfried Zaha Thread' by Midlands Eagle For me it looks like the way we are playing at the moment dies not allow him to get on the ball enough. Didn't touch the ball till 20 minutes then looked like he tried too hard. Must change the way we play to get more out of him, however get the Scousers out of the way and we have a run of non top 6 sides. That should help🙏 Edited by Chubskip (10 Nov 2019 3.33pm Edited by Chubskip (10 Nov 2019 3.33pm)

After that he was shut down by three players every time he got the ball which was usually in his own half. Football fans are fickle but judging by the abuse he took from the Chelsea fans yesterday he would not be a popular signing and they think they have better already.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'The Wilfried Zaha Thread' by Midlands Eagle Wilf got booked early in the game and that seemed to upset him. He has been a way short of his best this season. It's time we stopped being so reliant on one player. Much as I will miss him, the time looks increasingly right for him to move on.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'The Wilfried Zaha Thread' by Midlands Eagle If we were to use an intelligent midfield system he would get the ball more. At present our control and passing is shocking and he has little chance to shine. With a better team he would realise his true potential. The midfield is our weakest link and until this is sorted If we were to employ at least two of Meyer, Camarasa and McCarthy he will come again. It won't happen so expect more of the same. Also remember, if we sold him for £30m we would have to give Man. United £7.5m of it. Probably why Parish held out for £70m.

Id have to disagre with you on this. 12 games into the season and he has no goals and 1 assist and hasn't contributed much in most games. On his current form i don't even think we would miss him. Don't get me wrong I still think he is one of our best ever players but he has been found out by every team in the division. Our style of play definitely doesn't help him but he is not even standing out among our team. he has flashes of brilliance but his overall game is poor.

Really!! Edited by Casual (10 Nov 2019 9.03pm) He has taken two to three players with him down the blind alley! ..the only way to stop Zaha is to foul him whether by leaning into or tugging, you understand the professional foul, every single player against him tries it ..the higher up the table you go the better at it they are.

An 19 year old had him in his pocket Saturday. Apparently he used to move to the opposite wing to wan Bissaka at training to avoid him.
