Really hope Townsend gains something from this and starts to score in the Premier.

That said Sorloth did one thing very well which was lay the ball to Andros with 2 guys around him, which allowed Townsend to get into position to hit that cracking shot. He also made several good headed clearances from WBA corners

Mainly I would think this concerns Max Meyer who did well, but not great. Roy may have thought Schlupp and Sorloth put a good shift in also. I dont see Puncheon being a factor, except outside nightclubs. You never know with Hodgson though, he might be talking about Joel Ward, you just never know. Ayew did enough in about 6 minutes to tell me he is better than Sorloth up top. That said Sorloth did one thing very well which was lay the ball to Andros with 2 guys around him, which allowed Townsend to get into position to hit that cracking shot. I doubt he means the goalie but you never know, Guaita looked very assured tonight, albeit against a lacklustre outfit. Sounds like its all about Meyer then. I think its worth a try with Meyer wide left of midfield in RLCs place and Kouyate staying alongside Luka. Parrot

Splendid victory. I’ve speculated in another thread that if Stoke progress, we could draw them away and will therefore have faced in successive away ties all three teams that were relegated from the Prem last season.

At least RH gave Meyer 30 mins last weekend, rather than the normal 15. Meyer is not exactly setting the world on fire here, but I still think he should be starting for us. I thought he was fantastic last night. Set the tempo of the play. Always in space and free for the ball. Great at closing down and winning back the ball. Quick first touch passing with a football brain far superior to anyone else on the pitch. I haven't seen the stats but I would bet he touched the ball more than anyone else on the pitch? IMO he has to start for us every game from now on. He is ready. Edited by louis01 (26 Sep 2018 8.33am)
It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye! |

That was a good performance and it wouldn’t have flattered us to win 5-0 as a number of chances were missed.

WBA were very poor in truth. The worrying aspect is Sorloth can’t hold the ball up, every time it was played up to him, it bounced off him like a cat trying to trap a ping pong ball.
