TBF I suspect PV may have a little bit more knowledge about this than you. Personally I do not think he is a PL player but he is doing a job for us, in a position, where we need someone to help Ward. At this time Olise is not that player its all about opinions, i like Viera, but Nice had their opinion too

Impressed with his attacking play but it quickly became obvious that he didn’t want to tackle to get the ball back when Leicester had won it. He will need to improve his defensive play or we will suffer.

He looked very composed and showed some nice touches when he came on against Liverpool albeit the game was was lost but he looked absolute quality yesterday. Great feet and weight of pass, good crosser and can shoot. MOM for the impact he made. Very exciting with him and Eze to return. With regard to Ayew he's not a wide player but he deserves more respect than he's getting for his commitment and previous.

That’s all I can liken it to. Even though he has come from a lower level unlike Bright - he just had something different. Learnt the right lessons but is selfless. Doesn’t try to do it all himself and knows when to let go of the ball And ran to the centre circle when leicester had the ball.

Olise looked very promising yesterday. Great composure, accurate passing and great vision. Moved the ball quickly and had a lovely touch, his instinctive finish of that rebound was quality. I like the way he looked so assured and never rushed. He did show signs of that effortless Eze ‘glide’ too. As has been mentioned above, it definitely takes the pressure off rushing Eze back too soon and the prospect of Olise playing in front of a fully fit Ferguson is simply mouthwatering!

He will need to improve his defensive play or we will suffer. That is a fair point, but I'm doubtful Ayew had this instinct when he first made his way in the game. I'd imagine he had a raw ability to dribble, but his defensive side was coached into him. There's no reason Olise can't be taught this, if that's what's needed, just as Zaha and Townsend developed. Of course we way not have the luxury of time for him to learn, but he can only prove he's capable by playing.

I had another look at his best bits on youtube and what we saw on Sunday is pretty consistent with what he did at Reading. I think we have a top player. Would i rather have Olise or Townsend at the moment and i am 100% happy we have Olise. He is only going to get better and can do things Townsend can't already.

When you come on as sub with your team 0-2 down, you score one and have a foot in the second, he deserves to start next game. Ayew may be a hard worker, but he is NOT the man for right-wing spot.

He is a good 19 year old hope he progress's , as for defensive play, kids only been on the park 10 mins, lets see how he is in a full match before we say he cant defend, he looked good against spurs and Liverpool when he come on for cameos, Edouard scored 2 goals coming on and hasn't since, so lets not big up new players to much things are looking good but give them a chance to show what they can do in matches not in 30 mins

But like it or not Ayew is still going to play a significant role in the team this season so maybe try and recognise the good that he does bring to the team and support him?

What's most exciting for me is the options we will have when Eze's back. I think my favourite (short) period since being back in the Prem was just after Bakary Sako joined, and together with Zaha and Bolasie we had 3 wingers that could all rattle defences: if one was having an off day, there was always the other on the bench. And I think that competition pushed them all along. It didn't last long (Sako got injured, put on some weight, and never really got back to his best), but it was great while it lasted. Hopefully Eze, Zaha and Olise will be around as a unit, making a monkey out of opposition defences, for many years to come.
