Watching the highlights again and it’s really noticeable that we had lots of willing forward runners yesterday; especially when Bruno gets on the ball. We really lacked this for a long time and just relied on Wilson and ASM instead. I think Willock is a must for us at the moment. The one who needs upgrading is Longstaff, but you can just play Joelinton there when Wilson is back. Bruno at the base of midfield in a high press makes so much sense. There’s no need for Shelvey to be a starter at all. He can be a decent rotation option.

I actually think he’s all right and is getting better; just not at the rate he’d need to in order to be a squad player here next season.

He does but doing it there is just scandalous. Anyone else in our squad falls over trying that and he did it 1 v 1 vs the keeper

Did he really do a ball roll with his studs with the touch before his finish? He's ludicrous.

I'm not crying

is this love

Norwich are an embarrassment to the sky bet.

Love Miggy's attitude.

It is. We're throwing players forward from midfield and it's great. No need for Shelvey to come back into this team at all. Longstaff has been reasonably poor but he makes runs and makes a lot more sense in this team imo.

ASM's been decent up top imo Much more comfortable with this than playing Chris Wood.

That is a disgusting finish

He literally got an assist for the first and then helped set up the second by dropping deep (“wandering all over the place” lol) and spinning his man. Dwight Gayle or Chris Wood would fall over trying to do that.

Really good play though . Norwich are appalling.

Bruno has some sort of FIFA triangle cheat code, man

Assist for ASM!

We do some really good stuff progressing the ball and then our final pass is always just trash. Just give Bruno the ball

Good defensive work from ASM.

Been like this for ages to be fair. For a team who are apparently good on set pieces we're absolutely shite at crossing in open play.

Why is Pukki always Messi against us

Wouldn’t be surprised if we change shape a little. Joelinton and Murphy wide with Willock behind ASM or something. Longstaff/Bruno pivot behind.

I think we can do a lot better than Pope to be honest. He’s tragic with the ball.

Guimaraes is brining more out of Miggy. It's great to see.

Yep. It’s very easy to defend against Wood and Almiron/Fraser so teams can just focus on ASM. When Wilson is in the team he is a threat at least.

Did not expect him to score goals . He’s already matched the total amount of league goals he scored for Lyon and Paranaense with 3 for each club.
