Hasn't kicked on and developed as I thought he might. Starting to think he may never have the mindset or strength for the Premier League. Same goes for others - notably Eze. Is it our manager, or is it lightweight players? Just don't know what to think about our papier mache squad. Ayew isn't the answer but neither is Olise. We don't have an answer basically, and I wonder if Vieira knows the question.

When we look at Hughes being never used. Jimmy Mac not going to cut it. Luka never plays - doesn't look good when he does. Riedewald - who's he? We need to sign several midfielders. Our only actual effective one is Doucoure.

Olise is a clear talent, but has still to find a role or position to best demonstrate his ability.
He’s not a Salah , Saka or a Mahrez cutting in from the right wing scoring a variety of goals almost like a striker.
He’s not a winger in the traditional sense going down the line and hitting a stream of crosses.
He’s not an old style inside forward like a Maddison or Odegard orchestrating attacks, although he has elements of this to his game and could develop.
To my mind he would be best employed at the moment in a wide midfield role on the right in a 442 or 451 , backed up by a strong fast right back who was capable of overlapping him on his outside.
However, since we don’t play with this system , or have a right back capable of performing this function, my theory is unlikely to be tested.

He's in the top 10 for number of assists in the PL this season and to my mind has been improving his end product. He'll end up playing at the very top if he stays free of injury. If he had a half-decent striker to aim for I believe he'd have double-digits for assists by now. So cool on the ball and has started working harder defensively. Was also PotM for February and got a goal of the month from the PL for his free-kick. Having said all that he was rubbish against Villa!

I agree with taylors lovechild - you can see signs of Olise improving out-of-possession in recent games, and getting some useful tackles in.
