Reading these posts, observations.

You can tell who was that match.

You can who sat at home or in the pub.

You can read who has an understanding of team playing and who is clueless, like wise for individual players.

It seems those who used to pick on Ayew, need another target.

At the match, you see the bigger picture.

I was at 1st Matches (starting) for raw Zaha, Wright, Collymore, AWB, Bright to name a few. They all had starts like Franco, raw, giving there all.

If you were at the match you see so much more and you aint for one listening to strange commentary!

Franco wasn't frightened of trying to make a difference, and he did stretch Chelsea at times... they didnt know how to handle him.
He has deceptive speed.
We now have three players we jump to our feet when they have the ball.. Eze, Olise and now Franco!!

Remember how Vieira couldn't work out what to do with Eze and then Roy returned and he immediately became a key player again? I'm wondering if a similar thing might happen with Franca and Glasner.

Not saying that he'll become as important as Eze but, for me, Franca is not a winger, where Roy generally played him, but is a central attacking forward.

If we're relying more on full backs for width now, I think he'll be absolutely tailor made for one of these narrower attacking roles behind the striker. Picking up the ball and running at the defender.

Could be totally wrong but would expect to see him today at least as a sub, if not starting. Players like him and Ahamada have a massive opportunity now to prove Roy wrong.

I didn't think Roy had any option as to play him as an inside forward as we had no one else left for various reasons. The main obvious reason was never replacing Wilf.
