Agreed, I also think that as disappointed we are with Ayew attack wise, he’s nigling defensive work goes unmentioned. Not sure Olise is up to supporting Ward yet but a great sub to bring on and he’s time will come :-)

This.

Really excited to see this guy come on and be so direct. But lets remember that he came on when we were dominating and pushing.

I know Ayew isnt flavour of the month, (and Olise scoring isnt going to help) but he is an experience player and was instrumental in the pressing play yesterday.

If Olise is as good as his performance yesterday suggests then this takes the pressure off having to rush Eze back too soon. Olise can find his feet with Eze gradually being eased back in from the bench. I also hadn't realised what a physical presence Olise is at 6' 1". It's really hard not to get carried away when you consider we now have Zaha, Edouard, Eze, Olise and Gallagher as options. With regard to Rak-Sakyi I wonder if in January it'd be better to get him a loan to the Championship so he can get regular competitive game time, as I think he's a long way down the pecking order at the moment. The same for Banks.

I think that with the U18's top of their league & the U23's having been promoted last season to the top division Rak-Sakyi is bouncing between the 2 squads, same as Scott Banks. The thinking here may be, let them play in these leagues as they are up against the best equivilent players & it would be better for their development than loaning them out as was the norm seasons gone past.

Just my take on it.

Reminded me of when Mark Bright made his Palace debut.

Olise made the rest of the team look like headless chickens
