Yes. I could just about put up with him for 10 minutes.

That's what visions of grandeur do to certain players get a big money move doesn't work out then never recover, (brilliant at villa) a contrast to zaha who kind of flopped at manure but has recovered, think benteke will do ok this season well better than last can't be a hard achievement not every game he will be faced with van dijk.

Agree wholeheartedly he does I think it's a confidence thing, zaha returned already adored by the fans, confidence seriously underestimated in players when the crowd turn especially with the fee, expectations soar.

Whats this lovein re Zaha.Half the time his feet dont know what his brain is telling them to do.
Salah has a brilliant first touch and superb at spotting his teammates .Something that head down and run Wilf struggles with.Some people confuse pace with ability
Also Benteke is very poor one goal in 14 games and people slag off goal every 3 games Chris Wood?

If Zaha was that good he’d have made the move to a big club again.

Doesn't take long for some supporters to start having a go at players from our own team does it?

Simple again really! He hasn't gone to a bigger club YET because palarse realise he worth more to them than the cost relegation, if somebody was to stump up a realistic valuation (like for like replacement punt just under) he'd be gone in a shot.
