Indeed. By all accounts did very well at Dortmund, but dross like this means it could be 50/50 as to whether we get any value out of this. The miss isn't the worst I've seen but it was obviously the last straw for them

Personally, I don't want Ayew anywhere near the starting XI or the bench. I can't see what he offers. Much rather Wickham was slowly reintroduced to the team.

I’m with you on this one. Nurse maiding another Chelsea player carrying on injury. Looking at this realistically, Roy never puts someone straight into a team anyway so he is probably going to be available for 3 out of those 4 months.

My bigger concern is we have 4 forwards presumably playing for the same spot on the field. I don’t understand how you can possibly keep them happy with that scenario.

I’m far from a tactical genius, but are we potentially looking at a front four - Wilf, Batman, Tekkers/Wickham, Andros?

Being cautious has cost us recently. We sat back against Watford and Southampton, surrendering the lead each time. And Bournemouth demonstrated what we may have been able to achieve if we had actually had a go at Chelsea instead of playing it safe.

We are a decent footballing side these days and when we play with attacking intent we are at our strongest. So I’d like to see us really take it to Fulham. And if we go a goal up, not sit back and try to protect it.

So far Ayew has served us well, he’s not lazy by any means, but goals is what Michy is all about. He’ll be chomping at the bit and surely must start tomorrow.
Against a team so defensively poor as Fulham, it’s the perfect time to unleash Batman
