yes i would agree going long ball without the right striker

None of them should play in the first place.

look we complain about everything the game was very messy it happens , the ones who think we should win every game go and support man city , we have a good squard things to look forward to , look up not down

I feel bad for keep digging him out, but Schlupp was pointless in that first half. He's probably one of our quickest players yet when teams break he jogs back. People have been giving Zaha stick but he worked so hard that first half and only he and Mitchell stood out in what was a very passive first half. Get Schlupp off and get McArthur on to add some leadership as right now it's missing.

Ward is one of the weakest passers of the ball in our squad which is an issue when you want to play out from the back. He's also the slowest, which given Andersen isn't quick either is a problem. Ayew looks a bit out of it. It's weird that our best player of late is on the bench, but I guess Vieira feels he can afford to manage his progress. Edouard has had no service so far. He must be getting very frustrated. Gallagher seems to be struggling to get involved.

As I said before, I think the thing we're missing most is leadership on the pitch. Brentford have been poor in position, but if the game continues like it has been they look the more likely to score. On the plus side Zaha seems to have the bit between his teeth.

Yes but he has won 2 yellow cards for fouls against him , shame they dont count .

There is a view that Ayew has better defensive qualities than Olise.
