Despite his height, it was already evident from his medical photos that he lacks a strong physique. Comes as no surprise that he isn't someone to hold the line and bring others into play. That said, he's our only viable striker until the last few games. Hope he does well and contributes in other ways besides freeing ASM to play in his best position. If he can score 4 goals, it's already a considerable return on the investment.

We needed that monumental kick up the arse.

Would love to see him become a manager when he retires.

Not sure which games you find him strong and holding the ball well like.

Like that he was enjoying the post-match adulation. It's clear that he relishes recognition for his performances and that can only serve to motivate him.

He's a passionate lad and I wish him well. We couldn't wait the years for him to develop into the player he is today. With the new era, we will sign better strikers in the summer and beyond. Best of luck to him and us.

Also helps that our players are now more fluid and making options for passes. We were static in previous games and often ASM had to create his own opportunities due to lack of passing lanes. Supporters also have to recognise that dribbling is by far his key value, and drawing defenders away will create more space for his teammates.

It's great that we see the likes of Trippier, Joelinton, Lascelles and ASM challenging the decisions. This was missing previously, and the team was meek in their words and surrendered performances. Appreciate the nasty streak that we now have, will go a long way towards survival.

I thought our 39% possession stat was odd like.

With the benefit of hindsight, he got the gameplay right and secured the win despite not starting Bruno. In a way, it also sends a message to the players that if you play well, you retain your match day place. The last few minutes given to Bruno also allowed SJP to celebrate his entry, while at the same time gives a teaser to the team that they can step up a level more, the best is yet to be come.

Ya, league rules.

No coincidence at his solidity at LB meant that ASM didn't have to worry about tracking back as much and was freed to put in a brilliant performance.

Targett unavailable for this game. Howay the Lads! Make it three wins in a row!

Poor effort from him in the first half. He had time and space for the header and could only muster that weak header.

He really turns to shit in the box like. :lol:

Welbeck? No.

We will come to an agreement with Brighton. No way our lot wants to have another intense, sleepless transfer window again.

"Bullet dodged"

Loan with obligation to buy if conditions met.

I take positives in that if we were not in this lowly position, he would have seriously considered the offer. As it is, we will be able to secure players of his caliber once we are safe, and that is something we will be looking forward to in the summer.

"Premier League ace/ star" prefacing news article, even if said footballer is a backup or relatively unknown player.

Think it works both way. Our midfield had little control of the match and he has to come deeper to support or get the ball. With Bruno in, hopefully this means that he can benefit from staying up front and feeding on the chances created.

Just rules him up taking the role officially in the next three months I suppose. What's stopping him from communicating with the NUFC team or "traveling to SJP to watch matches".
