He is certainly a better finisher than Che, there is no doubt about that. He's also a better player than Adam Armstrong.

Edouard.. the guy who won Palace the game yesterday and seems to be scoring goals?

I obviously understand the striker argument but we don't have an identity anymore, can barely string 3 passes together and the team totally lacks confidence. That is down to manager.

Exactly. His performance against Arsenal was a rarity and probably won't be seen again for 9 or 10 games. At the end of the day he's a Championship level player. Much like Adam Armstrong..

We have missed chances but we've also been very poor. It's not like we've had bad results but looked a decent side. Poor against Spurs, Man City, Villa, Wolves, Everton, West Ham, Bournemouth and Palace. We were awful against Leeds for 45 minutes as well.

Or Diallo would pass it out of play. the list goes on....

After the world cup we have what looks like quite a "nice" run of games. There is no way he can still be in charge of the team for those matches.

Something which he has never, ever done. Always throws a player under the bus.

Expecting two more defeats before the world cup. I'd like to think the club have someone lined up to replace him after the Liverpool game. Just hoping SR have the balls to take the decision out of Semmens hands.

Thought AMN changed the game. Should've started or at least been brought on after 20 mins. Half time was too late to change it.

It's probably on par with Villa. Isn't worse but can't exactly say it's been any better. Ralph has got this all wrong so far.

This is why I think we could do well in a 4-3-3. Sit deep and play Edozie for his pace on the counter, if he isn't great at tracking then that extra man in midfield can help out. According their fans they are useless against sides that defend deep.

A loan with a view to buying him when KWP leaves next summer...

Bazunu; AMN, DCC, Salisu, Perraud; Diallo, JWP, Elyounoussi; Aribo, S.Armstrong, Adams. Subs: McCarthy, Lyanco, Payne, Larios, Lavia, Djenepo, Edozie, A.Amstrong, Mara. I'd go for AMN at right back over Lyanco. Although he may wind Zaha up it could easily go the other way and I could see Lyanco getting sent off himself. Lavia hopefully fit enough for 30 mins or so off the bench.

He's just not good enough at this level. End of.

Agree about Perraud but not about Armstrong. He's played a large amount of games now and just doesn't have the required quality to succeed in this league.

I spoke to him after the game.

Tbf it was a blatant penalty on Jesus in the first half. DCC lost his man.

True, but if he plays in the Newcastle and Liverpool games then it's a bonus.

Good news is that KWP might be back sooner than expected

I genuinely don't think we've been that bad defensively this season. Lost a lot of games by the odd goal but the centre backs have been our best players. It's obvious where the issues have been. Central midfield (without Lavia) and attack.

Expecting to lose so I'd just be happy with a good performance. We haven't had one in so long.

Doesn't surprise me. It was a massive f*ck up on his part and could well contribute to us getting relegated.

If KWP is out I'd probably put Djenepo at RB.

Hell of a performance tonight. Bullied their CB's and didn't stop running for 90 minutes. Hopefully that header gives him a boost of confidence.
