He went to the world cup one player, and came back another. Whether his confidence is shot from a poor Belgium showing or he has started to believe his agents hype, I don't know.....
I wouldn't be surprised to see him on the bench tonight, he currently looks 'out of sorts'
He absolutely should be on the bench. Ferguson/Welbeck should be leading the line, and on current form he is not as good as March or Mitoma for a position out wide.

Might do him some good, phsically and mentally, to have a rest as well.

Being coached by that fraud Martinez for a month will probably do that. If ever a coach took wine and turned it into water it was him.

I think his best position is as the central player behind Welbeck, in a number ten role if you will. Maybe if Lallana gets a rest tonight and Ferguson starts he could get a run-out there at Goodison. But for all that we've been saying he doesn't like the lone striker role, he did pretty well there against Chelsea ...

Brighton factually.....
Makes sense, not sure it will help his apparent ‘attitude’ at the moment but need to protect his value. Can see him going in the summer regardless , Bissouma style
What attitude ? he is just going through a quite spell, it is what he and most players do.
He's a grown man and not stupid, I doubt he will have the hump because we take out the extra year option, he signed the last contract and would not have if he was not happy with it or know the consequences.

Nothing to see here, he ain't going nowhere this winter, and I doubt they will be queuing up in the summer either, unless he wants to show what he can do, and even then it is win for both club and player.

For whatever reason Tross struggles when its colder
Make of this what you will. 21 goals in the March to October period. 5 in the sort of winter we have now.

well yes because he is a player good enough to punish defences when they make mistakes, like chelsea did (specifically Silva for both of Leo's big chances). still struggles against large, strong centre halfs when he's up there on his own

Managed to miraculously stop sulking and raise his game when the chance of a World Cup place was up for grabs. Maybe he'll do the same during the January transfer window? The comedown in February if he's still here could be brutal tho

Think a transfer outside the PL would be the most likely in the summer. Atletico/Milan/Inter/Juventus/Sevilla maybe.
