Give him the keys to the city, this man is winning us a trophy one day

He’s also amazing at keeping with his feet. And by that, I mean using his feet for saves, not his close control which we saw in the second half

Absolutely tragic performance today, especially in the second half

The good times are here to stay like, what an amazing game from us. My heart sank at six minutes but the belief in this side, the quality of coaching and tactical input alongside big Jow, Trippier, Bruno, Pope and Maxi. Really special core to this side now

Man of the match after Maxi and on par with Pope. My favourite player, just love him. He absolutely bullied the ball off them all game long

Sensational performance, his reading of the game and anticipation of when to come off his line is first rate. Wasn’t even that excited when we signed him, just thought it was sensible business but how wrong I was

The best pass was his pull back to Almiron which he skied as well. Outrageous play today, relentless running and twisting Walker and Stones to shreds

Best ever half for the toon?

Grealish not in the squad? Arse fallen out already eh?

Get Romano and Ornstein round David Kent’s place and give him a good hiding I say

NUFC ITK Hub will be furiously tugging one off right now

I’ll hold onto my celebration gif for now but I want to put it out that I have been ‘preparing’ it for some time

Absolutely no chance they should be anywhere near relegation with that squad, shame they’ve got Stevie G riding front and centre. He might just have the quality to take them down if he’s left in the job for too long

Clearly, our gameplan is all about the counter attack but I don’t want us having ten men behind the ball and just inviting pressure all game long. We’re better than that and our midfield would be better used in controlling the ball and tempo where we can

It’s absolutely essential that Botman is on marking the alien today. He can’t match him for pace but his reading of the game and positioning is key to not letting him run rampant

Get in

Until they get some minority report AI on the case making instant calls it can fuck off, especially as it hasn’t improved actual decisions. Fundamentally the referees aren’t good enough. If they’re fucking up massively with all the VAR tools, what does that say about their ability on the pitch?

This is the sort of game ASM could use to really show he’s buying in to playing in Howe’s system while still being an outlet for us

Mitrovic looks so confident in the box now. He used to rush things but now seems to always make the right decisions. Must be a genuine nightmare for Centre Backs

I’m already full totem pole

Just one week to do it though

I meant by the end of the window we had that sort of make up in the squad. I’m nor seeing it in Watford’s squad right now. There’s still some time to go in the window but as it stands I would say they have no chance of coming back up without João unless they spend very well

Think the concern for them though is they haven’t brought in quality replacements. We either had young prospects or proven players at championship level

If I was a Watford fan, I’d be absolutely gutted about this. They’ve sold almost all of their attacking talent and this one was the best prospect. Who’ve they brought in to replace them? Likely that irrespective of whether they sell João or not, they won’t be coming up this season but it’ll be a certainty if they sell him I think. However, who knows what financial position they’re in and if he kicks up a major fuss then it won’t be worth their while to keep him

Do the right thing Watford, sell your best prospect and let us push on as a club. We’ll loan you Murphy in January
