Exactly I don’t understand the negativity around Kouyate playing CB, he is consistently our best defender. Rate him more as a CBZ than midfielder personally

My summary in the cold light of day would be that we played okay against a good side - who weren't at their best but who are nonetheless 3rd in the table.
We know our issues - can't score and we have an ageing back line plus there is a lack of inventiveness in midfield.
These things can and hopefully will change soon.
However - my questions would be -
Why Ward over Clyne - is he still injured - Ward is past it at this level.
Why no Schlupp - is he still injured?
Why - when to me anyway - Ayew and Reidewald weren't having their best games did Roy not sub them early in the 2nd half - why wait until the game is over?
Benteke was generally poor and surely Mateta could be given a run out?
Likely we are safe but still Roy perseveres with the same old stuff.
He needs to be proactive and not reactive but i am not sure that will ever happen.
I think the result might have been slightly different had he been more positive because for sure we troubled Leicester throughout the evening.
A point dropped in my eyes.

Against Everton, the substitutions he made we great and showed ambition. He brought on Schlupp, Mateta and Batshuayi as well as playing Eze through the middle. We ended up taking the game to Everton and came away with a point.

I cannot for the life of me understand why he doesn’t have the same sort of ambition anymore. He seems terrified!

Yet again, Eze surged through and we scored from it. He is our future, our main threat now. Let’s build around him, not stick him out wide.

I thought we did okay last night and could have got something from the game.

I don't understand why Roy is playing PVA if he is leaving. I also think it is time to give Mateta and Bats a chance up front.

One more point

He has played Tyrick Mitchell at left-back but he is a 'Work in progress" and found it challenging at PL level.He would benefit going on to loan to a Championship club for experience at first-team level.

PVA has never been the best defender,is better going forwards but in our system he doesn't get forward with any regularity.Perhaps he is a better wing-back than full-back.

We are on different pages apropos Mitchell.
"Work in progress" and I wasn't totally comfortable with him at left-back but could certainly see potential.

Gargantuan step up from the Academy to the PL and I do feel that playing regularly at a lower-level will aid his development.
