We have Hughes, Schlupp, Alhamada, Phillips, for one place, alongside Doucoure and Eze, as DANGERCLOSE said, in order of priority 1 Striker, 2 Right Back, 3 Left Back, if Wilf goes a replacement will be needed.

My personal priority would be:

1. Striker
2. Right back
3. Winger

I think even with Wilf there our options beyond him and Olise are Ayew or Eze, neither of whom are really wingers so we need a back up there. I can't imagine it's too hard to find one for a decent price.

We've needed a RB forever so that should be prioritised and whilst I quite like them both personally as opposed to in a footballing context, Edouard and Mateta are both 'nearly' strikers for me. Perhaps handy to have in the squad but not good enough to bee seen as your first choice forward. In an homage to you Lanzo here's my much wanted XI

Johnstone

New
Andersen
Guehi
Mitchell will do but wouldn't argue with new/better

Doucoure
Take your pick.
Eze

Olise
New
Wilf/New

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Last nights games was always going to be difficult for us once we gifted that goal early on through a defensive error, from that point on we were chasing the game. Generally, I thought we played very well and our passing in midfield was much better. However, we are still far to slow at getting the ball forward thus allowing the opposition to set players up behind the ball. In the final third, the lack of a good striker and players who can get in the box and get on to the end of taps in’s needs solving. Why our current so called strikers attack crosses at the near post is a mystery to me as the far post is mostly less defended and would present greater opportunities. Overall we did deserve at least a point but sadly, it did not happen on this occasion!

We dont need Gallagher, he is vastly overrated on here. He started off well for us, but after Christmas he was running around like a headless chicken as was generally poor. Not worth the money Chelsea would be asking.

I am on holiday in Playa Blanca, Lanzarote and watched the match in an Irish bar. Unfortunately they were also showing the Villa match on my left and the Leeds match on my right both with the volume up yet the Palace match was silent.

It's really difficult to concentrate on a game with no sound when the sound from two other matches is blaring away

Its being in the know that counts, Popeyes?
