He does seem to sulk and all too often this season he has lacked energy in games, which is perhaps a result of that. The truth is Wilf has been better on the right than Townsend has, so why would Pardew switch it? My question would be, did they know Bolasie would go before they signed Andros? If they did then I think it was an ill advised purchase; however, if it was to add competition then fair enough. If we can add a decent left back plus hopefully a new left midfielder/winger then I think we could have a strong second half to the season. I might even be tempted to try and sell Townsend if he isn't showing the heart to try and win his place back as I wonder if he could do more harm than good sulking on the bench.

He wants to play on the right, cut in, and have a shot. We need him to play on the left, put in some decent crosses for Benteke and weigh in with some shots as well. He's more than capable of doing what we're asking, but he doesn't want to and is therefore sulking. With our squad and current injuries we need flexibility and he doesn't seem like a team player to me.

If Townsend plays so poorly there is only one person to blame.

Overrated one trick pony, I remember spurs fans getting fed up with him, unfortunately he hit form for Newcastle and had a buy out clause which made him look like a good option. Only wants to play on the right so let's get a left winger in jan and get rid, should get a decent amount for him. Better than having him in the squad sulking.

A good idea at the time but whilst still early days he has not shown much. Edited by The Dolphin (18 Dec 2016 5.56pm)

before i start...i agree hes has been dissapointing since joining. but... there are obvious reasons for this as hes played almost every minute for us on wrong side of the pitch...whenever he has played well in his career he has played on the right hand side of the pitch and been effective cutting in. all of a sudden hes been asked to play out of position and he cant do it well, some players can easily adapt but he cant. also i would point out if you watch our games this season it almost seems to me that we are making more space for wilf to play in on the right hand side of the pitch and whenever andros gets the ball it seems to be very congested on the left hand side and its harder to operate in. he needs to perform better thats probably the only thing every fan on this site 100% agree on at the mo, but also he needs more minutes on the pitch, and maybe him & wilf swap sides for the watford game and lets see what he can do. he is a very very good player, and it will work at palace given time.
and it's goodnight from me....... |

AT had a good start with us something has changed to make him so poor, I can only see a new manager getting him back to the good player he is. ..they both should have been fined by the club for their behaviour towards the chosen one, are you suggesting then that the chosen one is actually not the chose one?

I'd rather have Dwight Gayle playing on the wing. Yes I think Newcastle got a fantastic deal with the benefit of hindsight Edited by Bexley Eagle (18 Dec 2016 7.37pm)
