Yep. It’s nice to finally have a bit of pace across the board. Yesterday we had Tino, Tonali, Willock, Gordon, Isak and Murphy. Hall isn’t quick, but he’s not slow, either.

You can visibly see him looking about for an easy pass and trying to resist the urge to always ping one when nobody closes him down.

What a lovely young chap he is. What a fucking quality football player he is and all.

Glad he finally got his hat trick. Seems like he must have about ten braces for us. But somehow never managed it. What’s good the last 5 games or whatever it is. Is that he is still missing some easy chances. But we are creating enough across the whole game that he is still bagging goals. His all round contribution to our play has been loads better since Liverpool, too. Run out of superlatives for him yesterday, really. He’s just fucking class, basically.

Was very good against Liverpool, mind. Know plenty of their fans (don’t we all!) They all said he was the best midfielder on the pitch.

I don’t think much has changed with his finishing since last season. He isn’t composed at all and doesn’t strike a ball particularly well. Maybe he just got the rub of the green a bit more and was kind of similar to Almiron during his purple patch. I know he’s young and he was playing for a crap Everton side. But he’s never seemed to score many other than last season I don’t think? Makes up for it in other ways, of course. His pace kills teams, his workrate is off the charts and infectious. He has also got a lot better at varying his game. He’s much better back to goal than he was and throws the odd trick in or drop of a shoulder to creat space for himself. He looks really dangerous when he drifts, as well. When he pops up with a bit of space in central areas you can see the defenders he’s up against visibly shit themselves (not literally).

What an engine. Not seen a midfielder for us get about the pitch since…. well don’t even know. He was playing CB, LB, LW and attacking mid towards the end of the game it was like he got bored and decided to start getting even more involved with everything.

He’s crap. All he does is score and assist

Such a strange player. Passing was loose. Put a chance in the top tier when it looked easier to hit the target. The turf monster got him when Isak played him clean through one on one. But even in saying all that. We do often look better with him in the team. He is rapid and his movement off the ball is great. Isak and him were often dropping off and then looking to go in behind. Ipswich were pulled all over the place.

Came in here to say this. It is fine in games that we dominate and like recently, when we’ve scored early. He has only really had two decent saves to make since coming in though. So it is when teams actually start having chances that I will worry a bit.

16 in 5. Long may Howe keep proving me wrong. Never been happier to get it so wide of the mark.

What a day and what an away end. Genuinely could have been 6, 7, 8 or 9. Hall and Tonali live are next level. They don’t give it away when it matters. They usually win it back if they do and all. Met Lewis Hall’s family and his missus. Great people. Oh and @Paully also a lovely fella. I’m off to get more pissed. See ya later.

I might be wrong. But I read the last bit like it was Kolo Muani. But I think it was in response to someone suggesting Antony might be a good signing for £20m!

Have we even been linked with Cherki? Or is this people just wanting him here? Can only see Liverpool rumours.

Just got a ticket for this out the blue. Result.
