Originally posted by Xchurch Eagle Also take Ayew out and you can put Olise and Zaha either side of either Benteke or Edouard in a front 3, still with Eze to come on for either Zaha or Olise... Surely that produces more threat than Ayew starting When Ayew was subbed off yesterday, they scored from the ball crossed from where he would of been, Eze was just watching as he jogged around, Eze is a bit of a liability when defending and people think he will replace Gallagher next season, not a chance. He will be sold, not a Vieira type of player.

I was thinking that the only place on the field for Eze's plus points is central midfield, as the hub, an Iniesta / Xavi / Pirlo type player - receive, pass, move etc. Demands good control and situational awareness otherwise you are likely to get clattered, and as we have seen, Eze is not keen on the tackling aspect of the game. I guess it depends on how the rest of the season pans out.

Originally posted by HesHereHesThere Three wingers in the starting line up and our three strikers all on the bench was a bit weird…mind you we’re too good to go down Thought the line up worked pretty well for most of the game. If Zaha or Olise had buried one of their chances we would be hailing Vieira as a tactical genius.

Originally posted by waddy On reflection we did well even if Chelski billions were jet lagged.Every game I admire Mitchell - he gets left to watch the centre And spare runner on his own.Defense needs a bit of maturing. Can someone tell Zaha it’s ok to press the player on the ball and it’s also ok to jump for a header in a challenge He hasn’t done either for years now. Yet another infuriating part of his game. He never challenges for an aerial ball which is quite literally just pathetic and is indicative of his whole attitude.

Just cannot understand playing Ayew for 85 minutes and Edouard for none. Say what you like about Benteke, he can't have done worse than yesterday's front three. No shots on goal in the entire game.

No shots on goal in the entire game. Appears to be well out of favour and Matete is preferred to him. There are supporters who don't rate either player. Eduoard has not had an extended run playing through the centre. We don't have an established front man and of course we have only scored 2 goals in our last 5 PL games.

Therein lies the problem. Burnley and Watford are massive matches all of a sudden. Not so long ago they appeared formalities.

Would be good to see Edouard Zaha and Olise up front for 90 minutes. There was a lot of movement going on yesterday and I reckon Edouard is more mobile than Ayew. Gallagher MacArthur and Kouyate are where we were before Jimmy got injured. Surely that would be to good for Watford and Burnley. Although Cornet could cause us problems. The wind played a part in Alonso late cross but watching the replay Mitchell should have done better. He was caught in no man’s land and was punished. Al part of his learning curve and he is good at that.

Virtually - not completely. IMO Zaha needs a spell on the bench to see how the chosen front 3 play as a team. I'd like to see a front 3 of Edouard - Mateta and Olise for half a dozen games and see how they gel.

Ayew certainly does put a shift in, especially defensively. He also puts in more through balls than any other of the midfield or front 3 (just look at official prem stats)... Would this mean there would be room for him on the right hand side of the middle 3. Bit like how Schlupp does sometimes on the left. That would provide more protection for our rb, plus we can leave a credible attacking threat pressing up top. I agree, we need Zaha, Edouard and Olise to have a run of games... Eze then to come on for either Olise or Zaha. Edouard is class in my opinion, he's goals and assists. Hopkin looks to curl one!
