See I think without Gayle we lack pace really, especially when Gouffran is on the pitch. Our left hand side is shocking as Dummett is bang average and Gouffran offers very little. Would definitely have Atsu on over him any day. Have to agree about Shelvey, without him we were shocking and would...
We were awful first half, worst we have played by a mile. Our goal killed Villa though and we controlled the game after that whilst not looking great, we didn't really get out of second gear though. Hayden and Gayle are a huge miss.
As for Villa, they're awful.
