Well after the excitement of signing a forward and a reasonable debut at Man City reality may have been on show last night .
Everything about him points to him being no better than what we have already got (Wickham/Benteke) and when Townsend returns on the right I would expect and hope Ayew is playing down the middle .

I really would prefer to see Wickham starting , at least hes one of ours .

Surely anybody who knows anything about football can see from Man City game the guy has potential. Give him time and keep off his back, no sense in dragging him down. Good luck to CT from me.

He should've scored twice imo but at least he's in the position to do so. Benteke would've been nowhere near it.

I expect you remember watching Ian Wright, he missed the target far more times than he hit it, whilst playing for us.
Every striker has had a sitter and missed, I think it’s too early to start demonising Tosun.

Really? Are you new to these forums? I don't think players are ever allowed to mess up without people complaining about them being rubbish after. It's the Croydon mentality my friend.

It was one of those horrible ones where he had far too much time and over-thought it - much like the chance that Wilf ballooned over vs Brighton. His finish vs Man City was instinctive, as was the excellent half volley he hit quickly with his weaker foot in the same game.

Agree he wasn't that great last night (few were) however he's already doing enough for us to be showing him respect imo. He's running the channels, linking play nicely and causing defenders problems. He's also getting into positions where he can score - for a team that doesn't create chances that's pretty good.

Not sure what the point in bringing Connor on was given we didn't put any high balls into the box / really pump it long...and the chances he had i feel Cenk would have probably atoned for his earlier miss by taking.

My main concern is how we accommodate both him and Ayew, as i think they are largely meant to be setting out the same way. Ayew to the wing is not utilising him to his fullest, so think we need to try something more fluid.

It's early days but i'm impressed with what I've seen so far given he's been at the club 4 days.
