Think we need to give the scouts more credit seeing as they’ve done a great job

He can beat you for pace, he can beat you with his dribbling quality or he can beat you by picking out and delivering a perfect pass. If his body is ready then he should start every game for us

Mad money if that’s what he goes for based on this season’s showing but that’s how much you pay for a young English midfielder who plays for a PL club

People rightly praise his defensive contributions but going forward he is not good enough right now. I hope he can continue to develop but he plays a box to box game. If you have someone in that role they need to provide regular goals / assists or at least threat. Apart from that quality ball to Wilson against Fulham and a lovely dinked assist last season I can’t remember him showing enough quality in attacking positions, and that’s not even accounting for the chances he misses. We can’t afford to have Joelinton, Longstaff and Willock all missing sitters every game

His releasing of the ball today was perfect, chose the right times to take people on and then when to pass and his weight on the pass was much better than last season. Feel like it would be unbelievably harsh on I’m not to start him when he’s clearly in great form and is playing for the team

He’s not even in the game. I know his game is often to fade out and then be super clinical but he’s barely having an impact on the game, second to every ball. Needs a rest

Goalscoring midfielder / winger is a must

He definitely is sadly. Perhaps he can improve but because his finishing has been so poor recently he didn’t have the confidence to try and take a shot on near the end. That’s a concern. He also skied one (I know Willock and Joelinton were also major culprits) and mislaid some simple passes in attack. I think he is improving at not holding onto the ball for too long so that’s something at least

Burn’s dallying on the ball almost cost us tonight. He really doesn’t need to be doing pirouettes in our final third

Thought he had some great moments as usual but also felt like he was the most wasteful with the ball he’d been since Brighton away. I think it was all of the team tonight though, we just seemed to lose our composure a lot on the ball. We were clearly trying to move it quicker than usual but it led to a lot of turnovers

Was losing my head a bit when he went down and it looked like he’d picked up a knee injury. Best thing to come out of the game apart from the one goal lead is him being fine

Please please just get some composure in your finishing after putting the last one away, my favourite player but skied shots from four yards just destroy you as a fan

World class goalkeeper

He’s a complete player, world class dribbler, movement, passing, understanding, technique, link-up play. Love him

Genuinely love everything about his game, he’s going to be phenomenal for us

Give him a start, he’s completely earnt it

Can’t remember the last time I felt this angry after a win, really strange feeling. Think I let out a lot of life stress in the course of that match

Fuck you VAR, fuck you Atwell, fuck you Marriner, fuck you Arma. Phew, not an enjoyable watch, incredibly scrappy, very poor passing, incredibly poor finishing but at least we got a decent result

Wrong decision Isak, not going to blame him as he’s been amazing since he came on

ASM has been class apart from that touch, he’s absolutely ripped them apart

Murphy really ramping up the shithousing there

Ref’s completely lost control of the game, sad wanker

What the fuck is this commentator on, he slaps it onto Burn’s knee, what else is there to say? We got done out of a legitimate goal and he’s advocating that slapping one in is hard done by for them. Absurd

You can fuck off and all Arma

Handball all day, VAR, don’t you dare fuck this up, you corrupt cunts
