did another poster say this b4 or is it my idea that we should call him Jean-Philippe 'bad header'? I remember Fulham had their Bobby Zamora song, could do something similar with JPM, although I was hearing a song after the game on Sat about him being 'in the room' - if someone could avail me of the full libretto I'd be grateful.

I have always felt that Mateta is the better scorer and that given a run in the team he would start toi score regularly - he showed his potential last season.
Edouarde has different qualities so it is a tough choice.
One of them needs a run in the team - whichever of them it is to be!

I have always felt Mateta is better than Edouard, he moves better, finishes better and seems to be on same wavelength as Zaha(when hes willing to pass).
Never understood why Edouard constantly got the nod over Mateta under PV

But yeah, for both these strikers we need play up the middle as well as wings to give them a chance.

Eduoard's last goal in the PL was way back in October.His last goal for our club was in early January in the FA Cup.
He really looked to be a striker devoid of any confidence.

Since he's been here, I think his longest run of starts is a mere 4 (yes FOUR) - in the latter part of last season. How is he expected to do his job if he isn't given a proper run in the team?
I'm not saying he's the answer to our striker problems, merely that I question if he's been given a proper chance to show what he can do.

I won't remind you of last year at Leeds, but Mateta was on the pitch and that was about all. Don't get too excited, but Im with you all in hoping he scores a hatrick up there.

But let's not take it away from him, that goal on saturday was awesome. His deft control followed by his assertive shot in the very last minute showed us all what he can do. Now start doing that every game. For a big man although inconsistent, his ball control can be brilliant.
