Massive result and what a relief to win a game wihtout Zaha.

Lets pray for Saints and Fulham to lose then we are 5 points above relegation zone.

If all goes will with Wickham and Benteke in the next few weeks then we are getting very close to never having to look at Awey or Sorloth in a match day squad ever again.

Kouyaté was having his best game for us but it looks like he picked up a knock, hopefully nothing serious.

As soon as we have Benteke back available then I reckon we will be going 1 up top with Zaha and Townsend back on the wings. I reckon this is when we start seeing the best of Meyer.

Ayew looked ten times better last season with Swansea, the job he's been given isn't his cup of tea obviously and I just cannot understand why he is allowed to suffer and put his team mates under so much stress, Hodgson obviously thinks he is doing something but i fail to see what it is, with Sorloth on we were a million times better with much more threat, where did Ayew play on the pitch for Swansea? I remember him shooting from outside the area and causing huge problems on quite a few occasions ..shame really.

Kelly was very good but I sometimes feel Andros doesnt get the praise he deserves..works like a Trojan
Not one of Jimmy Macs best.
Nice to have a little breathing space.
Meyer is getting better game by game and has the potential to fill the gap left by Cabaye quite soon.

If he drops Kelly out after that it will be not only a shame but a real kick in the nuts to Martin Kelly.

Roy knows a thing or two about man management but what message would that give to other squad players who might be called upon?

Message would be don’t bother playing out of your skin as you will be back on the bench anyway next time around.

Some players are undroppable but I don’t think Tomkins form of late warrants that description.

Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.

It was Roy who developed Kelly from being an also ran into a very good confident player. Kelly is also intelligent enough to know how team selection works. Bear in mind once fit there is Dann too.

So who do you choose when on any one match you only need two out of four?

Always remembering walking from the Holmesdale to the Whitehorse end at half time!

If only we had the same conundrum in the strikers berth.
