Wonder where we'd be if he had been in midfield from the outset. Still hard to believe he was playing behind Longstaff early on, considering his quality. Even up until recently, there was still support for that.

Very very good! As Gordon settles back into some form and consistency on the left now, I think some serious combinations are going to start developing. More to come still.

Yeah, as good as Bruno is at holding onto the ball and moving away from pressure, I always felt he would sometimes over indulge in that when in that deeper position. Really like the way Tonali moves the ball so quickly.

Really good to see us start with that midfield, and just leave Gordon in his starting position today. Need to commit to that as our starting lineup and if needed make subs from there, so we can build up some familiarity and consistency now. Nice one Eddie

I love that part of his game so much, especially in that deeper position. Gives us more urgency.

Sandro Tonali the Maestro.

Arsenal are such a disgrace man. Draw at home to Everton when Liverpool are looking like dropping points. Chelsea win tomorrow and they make up more ground on Liverpool. Making a more convincing challenge.

They have a bunch of injuries to be fair. Just really nice to see us take full advantage, comfortably.

Murphy

Agree. Just maybe not go too early with all the subs

He's figuring it out. Just needed a run in the left wing position to build the relationship with Hall.

Woo hooo!! Isak now too. Really needed a comfy emphatic win today. Get in!

Yes! Come on!

That through ball from Joelinton to Isak man. Has a knack for that. Such a waste.

Just knew a Murphy goal was coming. Classic

If the guy that hasn't used him has come out and said so, when he hasn't felt the need to previously, then yeah! And it's not in the space of a week. They've been working with him since August!

Yeah, we know he didn't play him. Because he clearly didn't think he was ready. Wilson was still injured back then too. So you saying he only speaks about how hard Osula's been working and the improvements he's made, because Wilson is injured again doesn't really add up.

Um ... Wilson has been injured all season and he didn't find a reason to big up Osula, as he is quite happy to use Gordon upfront. So, nah.

Yeah, exactly. We all knew he wasn't really as involved in recruitment. But likely helped put departments in place and staffed them, as we had none of that under Ashley.

Oh, I see. So you're saying he's lying then? Interesting.

You should go and listen to what Howe said then.

We are going to have to get a quality right winger that improves our attack. Regarding Joelinton, you will have to take that up with Howe. I'm purely looking at what Howe is most likely to do with the players. And if we get a right winger in that starts, Gordon will be on the left and Joelinton in midfield.

Well the manager is going to continue playing him in there, and so we have to hope for the best. Gordon is on the left and we are looking to bring in a right winger.

I agree. Seen a few talk down on him on here, but I remember watching a fair bit of him at Sporting, and I think he'd suit Howe's team unbelievably well. A lot of what we keep waiting for Willock to deliver consistently, is exactly what he would provide in a more high tempo team. And a Joelinton, Nunes and Tonali midfield would return us to our relentless pressing style.
