Cucurella is settling in, but he was v poor at Palace. He was on his heels when Gallagher stepped inside him, leading to Trossards stupid challenge to retrieve it and gift them a pen.

2nd half he took a poor touch and played a loose ball straight to Gallagher (then dived in and took him out, lucky to escape more serious punishment) which led directly to the chance for Ayew that really should have finished it as a contest.

Its early days, he's still adjusting to the speed and pace of the division and I'm confident he'll come good. But needs work.

Proper LWB performance against Leicester he was superb. Passing is normally very accurate and he’s always looking to play the ball forward which is pleasing. To the question isn’t GP answering it by playing him instead of March???

Cucurella for me whether playing 4 or 3/5 at the back, but a huge fan so bit biased. Love March too and would certainly like to see him getting minutes off the bench. March doesn't fit our system as well as Cucurella who's exactly the right fit but March's flexibility makes him so useful still. If G.P. can get the most out of Dan Burn I'm sure he can continue to from March when on the field. We're so lucky squad wise and just need to keep adding that occasional extra elite quality whilst holding onto players like Bissouma as long as we can.

Like the majority of our squad, neither has an eye for goal. Solly has been playing as a right sided forward/winger recently but his poor ability in front of goal means that for me, he is better suited to LWB where he is almost as good as Cucu.

We need to sort our goal scoring out if we want to release our top 10 ambitions. That said, the club have 3 candidates for the goal scoring winger position in Sarmiento, Khadra and Mitoma, I’m almost certain at least one will be a hit but the wait is excruciating. Another draw today will or game where we fail to score will only highlight this growing problem.

Cucurella outstanding player and better than March at defending and attacking. However seems to be playing in no mans land at moment and so often caught short when should be defending. Would prefer we played 3 at back with him as LB and attacking when able to. Needs to learn by watching somebody like Walker who does plenty of attacking but not at expense of defending
