    Hi I’m back after a long hiatus of just not being bothered.
    The highest list of injuries
    a striker who is playing so far inside his own shell
    two signings we haven’t event used yet and still, we cant string 2 passes together..

    Bench Benteke – you cant drop the lad but 2 goals is unacceptable – he’s the #1 reason we aren’t staying mid table after miraculously getting there.
    Jakip and Jach are apparently not quite ready but I see a central option for Jakip to tie midfield and striker together. Jach is a beast in waiting.
    Wan-Bissaka had a great debut in difficult circumstances.

    Need to learn to pass and shoot. I think said this in many a former comments.

    Spurs were worth the win but I don’t think we did ourselves any favours with the abject rate at which we gave the ball away which seemed to happen at a rate of every 30 seconds for the entire 90 minutes. Hence a sub par 30% possession rate.
    This is indicative of the glaring weaknesses in our squad quality and I doubt there would have been much of a difference if Cabaye or Zaha were in the squad.

    Lets get back to Benteke. At Aston Villa he was a sensation. scoring goals he wasn’t even entitled to with his feet. Moves to Liverpool, moments of quality but cant live up to the billing. Moves to Palace for disgusting money after a failed move. the spiral downward continues. He has two of the best wingers in the league launching balls in yet he cant find what he’s saying he needs. he turned himself into a grumpy one dimensional shadow of his former self. In a World Cup year you’d think he’d be pulling up trees. But alas.. give Sorloth his chance. You cant do much worse at the moment..

    Welcome back Chrissyboy, good to read your posts again. Yes agree with all of your comments and want to add it is interesting that with all our injuries there have been no new faces albeit Wan-Bissaka started last week. What about Pape Souare 3 subs only, Ladapo 2 subs, Lumeka 2 subs not good enough for a team with 12 injuries. Roy finally plays Wan-Bissaka and says he has a future well he could have a few more with a future if he was willing to play them or even give them more than 10 minutes each month.

    Welcome back Chrissyboy – Some good points. I think if we can man the flanks, Sorloth looks sharper and more hungry… Benteke needs to go, stay up or go down, we can buy 3 Sorloths for that kind of money and we are going to need them whatever divison.

    Perth, Ladapo went to Southend Utd didn’t he? Or am I thinking someone else… We just don’t have any options, when we had more options Roy could change a game from the bench which is what it’s really about.. right now he has bums on seats not game changers,
