    I thought Adam was good but he can't miss the amount of chances he did.

    Salisu is great but not MOTM today. Think Romeu matched his beastiness today, and Sally was guilty of sloppy passes on at least two occasions. Also, gets so tight to players, that he runs the risk of getting done. Sloppy yellow card. Struggled with Sarr a bit.

    I was at the game and he was fantastic in the 2nd half. The amount of tackles and interceptions he made were so crucial.

    There were games when Danny Ings had that said about him. AA is still learning the ropes at this level. Che has had a lot longer and is only one goal ahead, this season. IIRC.

    Oh I don’t disagree that he was very good. Just not MOTM for me.

    Yes he can be a bit lax on the ball but his strength, pace and positioning is top notch. And he's only 22.

    Totally agree. Salisu and Tino have been our best players this season.

    but if Sally has been averaging 9/10 so far, today was 8/10. That’s all.

    Fair enough. You might have seen something on the stream that I missed in the stand.

    Good to see that Redmond is bottom of the public vote on the BBC website again. Some things at least are consistent, and top of those is “idiot fans with an agenda”.

    Romeu was superb and even found time to hit a beautiful diagonal pass onto Tino’s boot.
    I too thought he was battling to keep Sarr under control especially, as you say, when he got too tight.
    Ralph has previously said that he needs to improve his passing, and the two incidents you refer to shows that some of it could be down to lack of concentration, rather than the difficulty of the pass.

    Lyanco was near the top. That must have been a terrific 4 minutes he had.

    The way he high-fived Romeu and ran onto the pitch was world-class.

    Third time today I have greed with you.
    I posted after the Chelsea game that I thought A Armstrong made too many runs into areas that didn’t threaten the goal, whereas today (especially first half) he was finding space in really good areas. The time KWP got to the bye line and pulled it back is a good example of his movement today, because he had taken 3 or 4 steps away from the goal to set up the angle for the pass and space for the shot. Just a shame he was high.
    Have to say that by getting the ball wide so quickly, A Armstrong didn’t need to keep coming short and pretty much, for the first half especially, played within a central attacking position, within the width of the goal area, which is where we need him.
