He took one of their penalties and it was a beaut!
Deputy for Luka when he inevitably gets sent off and we win a pen.

Or if Luka gets dropped. He has looked really poor recently and his place in the team should be questioned at the moment.

I was thinking that if we are going to rest him then maybe Kouyate can take on that role which then might allow us to get Camarasa involved further up the pitch. A midfield of Kouyate sitting deep along with Zaha and Townsend providing the width, Meyer in the middle where he should be with Camarasa just in front or along side him and Ayew up top. That would be a creative midfield IMO.

Actually he was doing good things like this last season but was clearly under orders to what Hodgson wanted and that was very clear in matches. He never believed he would finish a match but the emotion showed at our win at Wolves, revealed the true conviction of the man, he wants to score and wants to play at Palace.

Its tough for player on loan, with his home etc down in Wales, living out of a suitcase etc.
Now hes settled and believes in himself, all the twists, hold, turns, layoffs have all been there, plus he plays better when we only have one of Zaha & Townsend playing.
MY thoughts..

I agree with you and he did try and an give them a penalty (Not in the throw the game type of way) but it looked like some sort of tactical foul you would normally see on the half way line when a team tries to break fast. Maybe he was just exhausted and his brain gave up thinking straight ?

Hard work brings rewards. Ayew grafts for the team and is in effect the first line of defence. He's looking a very shrewd bit of business.
