Great defending Trippier.

Great play by Murphy. Fantastic run and got it out of his feet well.

Nick Pope man. Iron hand!

Bruno please stop giving away these free kicks in dangerous areas ...

Maxi has played well.

 

I still feel he’s not quite as free running as he used to be though. 

His passing has been sensational today for the most part, but yeah, think he needs to attack space more still. Might have over corrected a bit too much with the passing, so hopefully will eventually find the right balance.

Yeah Pope should have been off 

Jimenez looks to go into him after playing the ball.

Pope is actually looking to pull out of the challenge and so he would have been clean through, but he looks for the contact.

Could have gone either way, but I like the decision. Like most of these attackers do he's looking for the foul over just taking the opportunity that was there for him.

agreed. Willock needs to be one of the midfielders for it to work I think, too.

Yeah, Willock should be bombing forward whenever Isak drops and providing a forward run in those instances. He's perfect for that and I think we'll see more of that from him.

Really like that Isak dropping in has improved our build up play and provided a simpler forward pass for our midfielders to link play. Noticed it's meant a lot less dodgy passing from Longstaff and Willock.

ASM is playing like he just discovered the through pass. He's loving it

Murphy been doing what Almiron been afraid to do since November, actually making some direct runs with the ball. He's having a great game, well done lad. 

I was so done with Almiron cutting back all the time. Been a breath of fresh air having Murphy just keep it simple and go on the outside and look to get a cross into the box.

Really enjoying Isak's perfromance.

Think a striker like him that runs the channels and drops into space really suits this 4-3-3 as we don't have a number 10 type that finds gaps between the lines.

This is the best I've ever seen both ASM and Willock play at the same time. They look great.

Please get a second this half. 

Trippier's corners hit that first man every time ... yikes.

ASM is officially on one! Looks fantastic.

Christ Isak looks like he'll be a fucking killer in a couple of years

Has always had that top tier potential. He will fully realise it with us.

Isak has been gradually brough back due to his injury rather than a disbelief in his ability.

Yeah, don't know why people keep going on about it.

Lawd have mercy! ASM just evaporated someone's ankles just then!

ASM has turned into a playmaker man. Some great balls to release Isak! 

Fabian where are you going?!

That's the best pass I've ever seen ASM play man! What a ball!

What a header man. Though someone on here claimed he wasn't good at heading the ball?

Get in Alex!!!!! Trippier at last man!

Burn needs a rest, like. The man is all over the place.

Both he and Trippier have played way too much due to injuries. Really need to give them a rest when we get a chance.

Jimenez knew he wasnt getting that and went down. Minimal contact.

Glad someone else could see it

Jimenez tried to jump into him
