Just goes to show how useless Viera was !
Everyone moaning at Ayew, but let him play in his favoured role and lo and behold back to the old Jordan we all loved

has his off days occasionally but the guys a grafter & rarely gives up the chase, Schluup's another one who gets loads of grief, shoved into any gap but the one he's best at he'll have a shocker. Look how Eze's doing now he's a) getting a game b) played in the right position.

He is a class act, always has been always will be, how some fans can't see it is beyond me.

Still keeps the ball too long and misses too many sitters/chances. A good squad member, but not a starter in a decent PL team.

I think Ayew’s form is such that he warrants a place in the team when Wilf returns.
He always works hard for the team, has more skill than he’s perhaps given credit for, and he offers a competitive edge which benefits the team.

When Wilf returns, for me it would Edouard who drops out with Ayew moving to the centre.
I watched Edouard closely yesterday and am at a loss to explain what he offers.
His contribution is minimal whether it’s holding the ball up, linking the play, closing down defenders , winning headers or making runs across defenders in the penalty area.
It could be argued that Ayew would offer a superior service in all of those important facets of the game.
Some might point out Ayew’s poor goal return, but Edouard isn’t exactly prolific.
Furthermore, Ayew was POY year last time he played centre forward under Roy and his all round contribution on the field is also of more benefit to the team than Edouard’s sporadic involvement.
Longer term we need a better quality striker than our current options.

With respect, his 'assist' against Leicester was excellent too.
