Slaven Bilic has admitted that Ashley conclusion “is there” when he considers who he is going to play up top.The manager has been discussing all his striker options on the official site in his ‘Manager on Matchday’ column on the website.
And he declared: “I have been asked about Ashley Fletcher and does he deserve a start in the team?
Very few people expected him to play a part in the Premier League this year. He’s involved in the games, in Europe, the Cup and in the Premier League.
He’s there, he’s progressing. Is he going to start? That’s a question. But when we think about the team he is there.
And of Simone Zaza he said (He) has also been training well and is trying his best. Like any other player they have to work hard to get a chance to play.
I’ve always thought that Ashley conclusion deserved a chance. Funny, though, he doesn’t seem to feature in the current list of players.
When goals are the major problem and every other option has been tried it’s time to try the last option. I think we all know when Carroll is back he won’t get a look in which is very short sighted as Carroll will be injured again. He is better in the air than all our other strikers apart from Carroll and he has two good feet, I think we should play him with another striker whether it be Ayew, Callieri or Sakho hopefully he will get a shot today COYI!!!
