Obviously taken his bat and ball home and did it on purpose, he's angry and doesn't want to play for us anymore. It would be fair to say that the beginning of this sentence suggests straws are being plucked. What Ayew did last night was utterly pathetic and selfish. Whatever the theory behind it may be it is still unjustified with how we are as a team at the minute. My hat goes off to the 10 men who had to pick up the pieces for the remainder of the game because of this muppets' behaviour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I say I am not at all trying to excuse him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PussEKatt Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) When someone did something like that to me when I was playing I always got even.........later in the game. I would usually get them sent off. Edited February 3, 2016 by PussEKatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcRigo82 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I think being only 24 his naivety kicked in not thinking ahead like the rest of the cheats in the PL do. Huth has been doing it all season - apparently unnoticed & Costa as well. But not encouraging what happened, the silly little boy should still have not reacted how he did. So no money being provided for players, and obviously no one teaching the kids discipline either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I dont disagree but i think it was a reactionary thing to a sharp bout of pain coming at a specific moment. Cresswell got what he wanted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PussEKatt Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Yes,could be I suppose. Its to do with what you are used to doing in that situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cresswell got what he wanted Ayew went for him twice, though. He swung an elbow toward his chest initially and, probably upon realising it hadn't worked properly, then went for his face. Not quite as "reactionary" if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, he extinguished probably our last opportunity last night. It's looking more than grim now. big difference between the players though. Benteke had a lot of credit in the bank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a very poor reaction, we need players we can trust in must win situations, Ayew has somewhat broken this trust in my opinion. People who are saying he should never play for us again are way OTT but Ayew has to really go the extra mile to redeem himself IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I think, whilst its inexcusable for a professional to do that, we also know that many of us ourselves would react that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a stupid thing to do from Ayew, but let's not forget that he's one of the few players who actually looks like he gives a shit this season. He did this because he got wound up and reacted stupidly. It's nothing to do with whether he can or can't be bothered. Wound up about what?? There was nothing for him to be wound up about. The sides were equal nothing in it. Cresswell didnt do anything to him. Honestly he knows we have no strikers. For me he looks like a man who has given up and doesnt want to be here anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted February 3, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted February 3, 2016 It was stupid. I'm not denying that for a second, or defending Ayew. I'm just saying it's a huge leap to decide that elbowing someone in the face means he suddenly doesn't care and can't be bothered so deliberately did so as to be suspended. That's based on absolutely no evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
