Absolutely awful tonight fed up with it, look at how little he tries compared too Ayew tonight, Zaha is my favourite player of all time but had enough of him giving no effort would rather us play benteke atm

I don't think he played bad, Burnley just marked him out of the game (with 3 players) and we struggle to attack without him. I preferred when he used to run in behind for through balls as opposed to dropping in but wouldn't we all get fed up of sprinting for Luka's poorly hit passes? Wilf's cross to Luka was better than any from the captain.

Jimmy Mac made our captain look amateur, Joel ward offered the type of crosses you get in a goalkeepers warm up and Andros cut inside and shot once before being replaced. Scott Dann and Cahill with a combined age of 68 were our best players.

I wouldn’t say awful but I agree he has been poor

Certainly looked better / dangerous on the right when Townsend went off.

I had been thinking during the game that Hodgson should have got them to switch wings to give Burnley a different challenge but he stuck rigidly to the plan.

A mistake by Guaita for their goal.If Hennessey had made a similar 'Faux Pas' he would have been hung,drawn and quartered on here.

He might well have been still carrying an injury but in all honesty we haven't seen Zaha at his best for a while.

With a slow ponderous build-up when he does get the ball he is surrounded by players so it makes it difficult for him.
If we played with a higher tempo and not dropped behind the ball in 'Shape' this might greatly assist him.Furthermore an attacking left-back might well create space for him.

At present all Zaha does is get the ball, finds himself with opposition players around him and either just goes inside or passes it backwards and sidewards.
