Couldn't disagree more about Sawyers in for Krovinovich. Sawyers only contribution when he came on was to give the ball away, pretty much what he's been doing since the middle of last season. I do agree about Ajayi though, definitely got the potential to be a box to box player.
Sawyers was shocking when he came on. I wanted him to come on, because Krovi was awful. But Sawyers managed to be even worse. I like Sawyers because he's a ball player and I enjoy watching that, but I'm afraid even I've lost faith now. He simply doesn't have the heart to play at this level. I mean if you can sit and watch that tripe for 75 minutes and still come on and be so lackadaisical, there's something seriously wrong.
Bilic has to see that his 'luxury' players don't have the quality to cut teams apart at this level and he needs a plan B.
He needs to at the very least consider Ajayi in midfield to add a bit more in both boxes aerially as well.
If an Allardyce or someone came in, which I think we need, that would be the first thing they would do.
