...we'll have to try something seriously different to today. The 4-4-2 we lined up with today had a tortuous lack of pace and guile, exacerbated by the likes of Schlupp & Benteke being seriously off their game. I know Roy won't play the side listed below, but in Wilf's absence I genuinely think it's our best bet: GK: Wayne Thoughts?

Perhaps Macca rather than Luka on current form. Then the debate over whether Benteke or Sørloth is the least worst option.

Hopefully Roy has realised that the Zaha tactic without Zaha is actually ridiculous. Also the not playing your most talented midfielder because Schlupp finally scored a goal is also not a good tactic. I've backed Roy from day one, but always reserve the right to be critical when I feel the situation warrants it, so I'm now exercising that right.

I've not seen anything to make me think Sorloth is the answer, but I also know every player needs a good run of games to adjust to a higher level and get comfortable. Benteke isn't scoring, so unless Wickham is fit we have to give this lad a chance and who knows, genuine competition has worked wonders for Wayne, it may spur on Benteke.

We should play without an all out striker. Lots of good teams do it. Sorloth and Benteke are not at the level required and we can’t keep on saying the same things every week.

I am warming to the no striker option with Wif and Andros up front but Roy will sort it out of this I am sure

A real manager would have benched Benteke when he took the ball off Luka for THAT penalty. I thought he had it sussed at the end of last season when Benteke was injured, we played some really good stuff with Wilf and Andros alternating up front

I'm certain Roy wouldn't do this, but I would go for... Hennessey AWB Tomkins/Kelly Sakho PvA Luka Townsend Kouyate Macca Meyer Ayew
I think Bentenke should be benched now and be made to force his way back in by performances off the bench. Now that we have three fit strikers it can't be very good for their morale to be on the bench watching Tekkers miss chance after chance. I have supported him all the way, but he is losing us points.

I actually tend to agree, in the absence of a top quality striker at any rate. If Wilf isn't fit, I guess we could start with Ayew & Townsend up top with Macca & Meyer on the flanks in a 4-4-2? If he is fit, I'd honestly like to see us play with Wilf & Ayew up top together.
