Difficult to know whether RH approves of Mateta. Not the first suggestion that when it comes to signing players or even taking them on loan, Parish, Freedman, Hodgson don't sing from the same hymn sheet. Given that the manager picks the team, gets the plaudits when things go well and takes the brickbats when they don't,there's not much point in signing a player the manager won't play: Jach, Sorloth, Meyer.

The commonality being that they aren't very good. That would explain Hodgson not picking them. He has made it clear several times that its up to the club to improve the squad, and that beyond offering an opinion he isn't involved in transfers.

I have a feeling that I may get somewhat of a backlash.....but.... Am I the only one who doesn't see what he fuss with Mateta is? Can't help but feel that one great moment against Brighton is really clouding people's judgement of him. Apart from that He seems not really up to Prem standard at the moment. (Of course we know players from abroad often need time to adapt and can do so). Seems unable keep the ball effectively, whether that be in hold up play or when running at players and not strong enough yet.

See my link in the earlier post, Benteke isn't playing well he has just gone from crap to average, sooner he leaves the better, and Wilf, Mateta and Eze will link up far better as a front two

It's a shame for him that Benteke scored against Brighton. Mateta gets one start and scores from his only touch. Almost the perfect appearance. 7 games later he's not started and barely featured. Reminds me of Sorloth, scored against Chelsea but chalked off for no good reason, then didn't get a look in for months and months. With Batshuayi scoring against Everton and Benteke vs Chelsea, its going to be difficult to get a chance. Potentially, if we stick with 4-4-2 we'll need to drop Ayew for Zaha, and put Benteke and Batshuayi up front with Mateta coming off the bench.

Pointless the Chairman and the Director of Football signing players the manager doesn't rate! Who picks the team? Edited by Elwissthebest (13 Apr 2021 10.35pm)
