Cost us the three points. In my opinion we did lots of things well and then his piss poor defending them gifted them a point. Cracking shot but it should never have been a shooting position. Not the first time he has ignored the man at the back and watched the ball float over either.

It wasn't just the fact that he let the ball sail over to an unmarked Ayew.  It was how he totally stood off him after that.  Don't rush in so gung ho and get skinned.  But FFS, at least close the shot/cross down.  Really poor from him and I'm a big fan of his.

Bloke has cost us a number of goals due to being dragged infield and leaving the player he should be marking free - as an international player he should know this but why are the coaching sgaff not highlighting this as it happens time and time again.

Lucky to be on until the end. Absolute gutter shit. Crossing was pathetic. Really hate when he plays a one two with Sissoko on the edge of the area with him running into the box without getting on the return pass.

 

Wanted him subbed off but didn't want Anita at RB either.

I like him but he's digressed massively. I know he puts in the effort he just makes thick tackles, and seems like he's out of shape or something. Terribly one paced and stopped driving balls in and floats the fuckers. Looks far off the player we signed originally. Which is par for the course for us.

So inconsistent with it, too. One minute he's telling Moussa to get back and watch his man, the next he's telling Colo about what the Dutch do for Christmas. Nightmare.

We've given him some deserved stick for his lackadaisical defending but he's definitely improved in that area in the last few games. Obviously, at the other end of the pitch, what a player he is. Terrific touch and great awareness to put it in the right area for Gini.

I think he's going to love Shelvey like. The opposition's left-winger is going to have to spend a lot of time running backwards if we continue like this.

I don't know what to make of this guy. When he can be arsed he looks like the best right back in the world, but then there's other games where he just looks like defending is meant to be done by someone else in the team. He was top class at both ends of the pitch today.

He needs competition for his spot. He's first name on the team sheet automatically. As others have said, he can be very good for us and he's always supporting attack very well. I just don't like how quite frequently he lets us down defensively, but I'm sure it's from attacking too much.
