Slav is now preaching the Ayew message

Now it’s not like ClaretandHugh to normally ask such a question but we have to wonder whether the manager has been reading these pages overnight! 🙂

For yesterday in this story https://www.claretandhugh.info/time-to-give-this-iron-real-game-time/ we pleaded the case for record signing Andre Ayew of given a run of games.

The £20 million record signing has been brought on for 20 minute bursts and has contributed goals and assists during his limited game time.

Now today in his ‘Manager on Monday ‘ column on the official site Slav appears to be talking up the Ghana international and suggesting an extended run of games is at hand.

He said: “Andre had a couple of major things which happened to him, which affected his season so far

“The first was that he had a massive injury in the first game of the season, then when he came back it was a little bit too early, so he was searching for fitness and form.

“Then he went to the Africa Cup of Nations and now he looks really good. That’s the reason we bought him – he has that sense to be in the right place at the right time.

“He scored like that against Swansea, he scored like that against Watford and he scored a similar kind of goal again on Saturday. That’s a big quality for the strikers to be in a good position, so now he’s back in good shape and of course we expect him to improve us.”
