    What do you think was responsible for covering the right flank yesterday and against Watford?

    Still not answered. How do you come to the conclusion that Ayew has 'Big Time Charlie Syndrome'? I haven't seen any evidence of it but you may have, I don't know. It seemed a curious thing to say. Third time I've asked - and I don't understand your last point. Sorry.

    1. Try reading the thread.
    2. If you don't understand my last point that's not my problem.

    Wow. OK. I was just curious as to how you tagged Ayew as a "Big Time Charlie" because I couldn't understand that. I was wondering if you had heard or seen something. No need to be quite so abrupt. <ok>

    Siggs is doing exactly what he is in the side for....No problem here unless you expect us to win every game and that my friends will never happen...

    No one expects to win every game but to dismiss the obvious with that statement shows a lack of understanding of whats currently unfolding , ,even Monk has come out in the media to defend Gylfis' recent performances

    Manager Garry Monk though is insisting that there is no pressure on the player and to be fair we all know that form is temporary but class is permanent and Gylfi is a class player.

    “Attacking players will always be judged on assists and goals,” Monk acknowledged, “and If they don’t come, people tend to think they are playing poorly.

    “But for me Gylfi does a job for the team with the work-rate, effort and the quality he has, it’s just he has not got that assist or goal. He has come close, he has been unlucky.

    “But the way we attack now has changed. At the start of last season Gylfi and (Wilfried) Bony were involved in a high percentage of our attacks.

    “I tried to identify how we could spread that out a bit and when you do that, the percentage for each player comes down a bit. We attack now through the likes of Jeff (Montero), Andre (Ayew), Bafe (Gomis), Gylfi, the full-backs. It’s a slightly different way of attacking.

    “For me Gylfi is still a fantastic player, he is doing exceptionally well and I am very happy with him.”

    All the players and manager are doing well but sometimes other teams out play us in the technical game, They may have less possession and less shots on target but they were better at set plays and getting around our defence.....If you don't lose games you cant learn from them. We took on board our dismal mistakes against Watford and with the form team up next Everton who we knew would be a handful going forward we applied ourselves very well and even with Everton's possession of 52% to our 48% they only had 2 shots on target while we on the other hand had 3 on target. So at the end of the day all players played their part in a very tough game. A point each was justified and spot on for two sides that played good football on the day..
