Ayew was bang average on Saturday. It is early days but his attributes seem limited as, clearly, he isn't a target man, nor is he a poacher - from what we saw on Saturday.

Two games and he has not had a single shot on target and a pass completion rate barely into double digits. If we're going to have a headless chicken, why not play Kaikai who, in addition to being one of ours, is at least young enough to have potential?

We might as well go with Wilf and Townsend up front until Tekkers is back. At least he gives our game some focus.

And for fecks sake play Meyer - we were always rubbish when Cabaye was injured no surprise we're not functioning as we have no balance in midfield.

He only completed 13% of his passes...
I really dislike the overuse of stats in sports analysis but I checked out his after reading some of the semi-positive comments on here. Folks it aint pretty reading.

I did not see it at all and I was very puzzled and surprised by the lack of running the channels when in possession. Very static.
Now I may be a bit biased, I strongly dislike players pushing for a move with "a strike" but have seen nothing so far that makes me believe we have a good option for central forward.

I suppose the benchmark is Benteke so Ayew is God in my eyes...

6 seasons in the premier league and we have Ayew and Sorloth as our only fit strikers currently. Both are no where near premier league standard. Surely it's time to play Wilf and Andros up top. We are missing RLC too and failed to find an adequate replacement.

AJ is our record scorer in the premier 21 (11) pens. Then it’s Tekkers 15, could have been more if he could take a decent pen. He missed 3/4 before we took him off pens, that said from open play he is our top scoring striker in our Premier league history.
I don’t understand what’s happening to Benteke, his 1st season was promising, it’s like he’s literally forgotten how to score a goal.
