what has happened to Kouyate

Thank you! Been getting so much stick on social media recently because all I keep hearing is how Noble should be dropped for leaving to much space while Kouyate gets off scot free and others even blaming noble for him playing poorly. All he did yesterday was give the ball away, was extremely clumsy and left noble on his countless times. Lost track of how many times noble was in front of the defence only to have 4 or 5 watford players crowing round him. Been saying this since last season, hes a center back playing Midfield and his passing his absolutely woeful. I would actually play him CB with Ogbonna next game

Our best centre half partnership is Oxford and Ogbonna in my opinion, both very good passers of the ball and can both defend, Oxford is a different class and I think we need to start using him otherwise he's going get very disillusioned. Back to the point I think Kouyate needs to play midfield otherwise our energy levels in the middle are not great, he can break play up and carry the ball, he also gets goals occasionally, our best cm in my opinion

Think he's worth a try against West Brom at least. Ginge and Reid were both pretty poor on Saturday so what's to lose? Either that or we could try oxford in place of Byram who's not really looking PL quality yet.
