Needs replacing. Never get excited about him being on the ball or playing, as he's pretty much nailed on for failing to deliver anything important. Likeable lad, just need someone more dangerous and menacing in the final third.

It looked to me like he was playing his usual position? Maybe a little further up the pitch but he was playing behind a striker for most of the game.

 

Atsu started as the central striker, with Perez behind him. They seemed to swap a bit. Then Gayle came on and played as the central striker again with Perez behind him.

 

Perhaps he had less defensive responsibilities which allowed him to focus on finding space more, which he's always been good at.

You couldn't be more wrong. Cannot believe you actually watched the game and thought Perez was playing behind Atsu. That is actually incredible to me.

 

He was leading the line and was fantastic doing it. Not sure I'd have anyone else start upfront ahead of him for the mean time. Far more active than Gayle and more mobile than Joselu.

Last sentence spot on

Looking back he has always had his best form for us upfront, and would regularly score goals for us in that position. It's where he was playing when he started getting linked to the likes of Spurs and Barca.

 

Would love to see him given a chance there now. Fed up of the other two, who could both do with a long rest.

Atsu was definitely ahead of Perez at times like, and Gayle went up top when he came on. Absolutely nothing wrong with what Smal said.
