Given that Ritchie is our only wide player, signing this guy for his very reasonable release fee is a no brainer IMO. Wouldn't be happy if he was first choice left winger but as a squad player we could do a lot worse, he's generally excellent off the bench too.

He's well worth 6m IMO, still looks like he can improve but at the very least he's an excellent option off the bench. Well worth keeping.

Not entirely sure where he'll fit in Rafa's long term plans. He's no #10, needs a big man to play off as a second striker. Given that Rafa doesn't like a target man up top I don't see it clicking for him here. A top class #10 is probably the most important need for us this summer. Absolutely essential that we get someone who can link the midfield and attack or else it'll be a season of Shelvey trying impossible balls over the top twenty times a game.

Rafa's subs have been awful.

Stop bringing on dickheads.

Oh Mitro.

Think he consciously chested that... Classy move by Rafa bringing on Gouffran, evens things up after the sending off.

Yes.

Can you imagine if the ref hadn't given it? Genuinely wouldn't have shocked me.

Party time.

I'm enjoying this tbh, our defense definitely needs sorting but I'm just sick off the dreadful shitfests where nothing happens.

Incredible break that.

Such a finish given the circumstances, looked like he was kicking a stray ball off the fucking pitch. Wasn't the smart move by Zidane pushing for the win but good on him, wish more teams played that way.

You just know he was buzzing off his tits when he got to make that lunge and give away a free and get a yellow. Felt like a wiley pro who was taking one for the team. Useless cunt.

He's only 23 so he should improve over the coming years. Worth sticking with as part of the squad IMO but he definitely can't be first choice next year (assuming we go up). Signing someone like Shawcross and having Lascelles as his backup would make sense.

He was decent tonight. He'll never be anything special though and honestly his playacting is fucking embarrassing, he'll be gone in the summer and I won't miss him at all. Shame, as he's a compelling character in many ways.

He fulfils the role to a large extent already tbh. Wasn't he made captain a few games this year when Lascelles was out?

He's just not very good at football. I expect Shelvey will be captain next year and Lascelles will be replaced in the starting line-up.

Why did we have no defenders?

Fucking bullshit.

Fucking yes. Well deserved.

Skinned a Leeds player at the byline down the left in the first half, cracking bit of skill tbf.

Twice we've taken good quick free kicks and he's pulled it back. He hasn't disregarded the laws of the game at least though, so he's better than the last cunt.

Ref is fucking useless.
