Yes but their keeper will actually wait until half of their players have actually got into their positions before throwing it out. It was stupid from Guzan and then stupid from Amavi. A keeper has the whole picture of the pitch and what the situation is, that's why they keep hold of it longer to calm it down, considering Palace had been on the attack. I don't think Guzan should be blamed for punting it, but you see better keepers, hold onto the ball longer to calm the whole game down.
I really wouldn't read too much into him being beaten in the air by Smalling? Gestede wasn't even jumping because his back was to goal, Smalling had a running jump on him as he was attacking the ball to clear, it happened to Benteke many times, if a defender has a running jump on you with a similar height then most likely he will win the ball. As Sherwood says we need to get out of the habit of going route one, especially if no one is running off Gestede.
Grealish?
Sinclair, Ayew, Tonev sorry. Christ Gabby's not a natural anywhere on the pitch. He and N'Zogbia are passengers who contribute no more than 5% of the time. Gabby should have been shown the exit door instead of being made club captain. A waste of space who drains £50k a week out of the wage-bill.
Comparing Gabby with N'Zogbia, deary me.

MH on Adama Traore: He is somebody we have had discussions with, but there has been no progress on that front yet. #scfc
Look if we offer him the more money he will come here. It's that simple, we can sit here talking about what dinner he had, they've got Bojan, it makes no difference. If we offer him more money than Stoke do he will come here.
This has nothing to do with Levy, they've wanted rid for ages, the issue here is Adebayor, he wants guarantees that we will give him a deal after his loan, think this has been a sticking point for Fox and co, who are rightly not budging on it.
Jonathan Wilson knows his shit.
Unfortunately, if there's anybody who is likely to have a very informed opinion of african players, it's him.
There is also another article of an African Journalist who has followed the progress of the Ayew's who rates Jordan higher, don't know if it was posted here.
That's absolute nonsense, Bent doesn't press he just stands the around. Kozak competes, gives defenders a hard time, he's basically a nuisance and as shown can score numerous types of goal.
From what I've seen of Gestede and it isn't a lot, he reminds me of John Carew, not very mobile but is a complete nuisance and when he's on it, he's unplayable.
He is training with the U21's, remember the bomb squad notion we had, the whole media pointed it out, seems when Pochettino does it, it's good management. Both Adebayor and Lennon are part of this squad.
