I still think we get more than we paid, as he's now proven he's a decent level premier league player. Unfortunately he's dropping into the group of players you'd accept letting get to help fund improvements.

We need to see that version of him consistently, class when he plays like that.

Full speed Willock starts, this version doesn't, and if Mikey keeps coming on and looking assured he could end up being 3rd choice for LCM behind for Joelinton and Miley. Really hope he find his form again.

Back to looking like a very good football team. Hall class again, Bruno and Tonali as combining more and more as the games go, Miley looks like such a classy player, and looks massive now. So many positives from that, only down side is little Joe still not quite looking back to his old self, but it's more minutes in the legs.

After what was done with Hall we've got to trust the process, but today seemed ideal to give Osula minutes

Have had the discussion with many football fans, everyone will start seeing it soon enough.

Decent having Miley back on, feel sorry for Osula though. Isak hat trick, 4-0 up, and we're playing without a recognised striker.

Come on, let's see Osula or Miley now. I got the 1st 3 subs, as we'll need them over the festive period, but no need for Miggy

Not sure if it's the weather, but we've actually looked frustratingly sloppy in possession, and missed 2 great chances. That said, we're creating plenty and they haven't got too much going the other way. Hopefully, we add a few more 2nd half.

Watching City today I'd argue the other way, they need someone to make them play quick and try to unlock a defence. They need a Bruno type 8 and better defenders.

If we're spending in Jan it has to be RW and then GK and then LCM/CB. Come the end of the summer we need have covered all 4 of those, plus another controller for the 6 role to develop, and a back up right back if Trips leaves and Krafth can't stay fit. Also, replacing anyone that leaves.

He had already played near 100 games I'm senior football, his talent was raw in the respect that it wasn't something that was coached, and that never changed throughout his whole career.

That was weird, I've got a mate whose a ref. Should be on a pod with him Monday, so definitely asking on that when we do our VAR/officials segment.

His rawness will be his main attribute I think, teams won't know what he's going to do at any point. If he can sharpen up his decision making, he'll be a real asset. He's kind of in the Obafemi Martins mould of rawness, where it will never fully disappear.

23 of those was him to Schar and back in a 20 second spell

Love him further forward he's playing the hard passes in areas that mean the transition would hurt us a lot less, and they are more likely to lead to clear cut chances. If he can keep doing that and not step on Sandro's toes, and we then add another threat or get Willock back to his 100% we have a top level midfield.

Was class today, need more of that.

Any doubt, take a touch, knee over through ball, foot through it. He did exactly that, the touch made the 2nd.

He is the exact definition of a midfield maestro, need him playing in the 6 either as a single or double pivot, but not with Bruno. He controls the game pace so well, love Bruno and he is class, but he's too forward thinking to control games like Tonali does.

His turn around today was Elite level mentality from him, 1st 25 mins he looked shaky and the LB jumped on him and nicked it most of the time he got the ball. Then came the excellent finish, which is hard after a poor start, he was class from then on.

Decent half, cut out the few sloppy moments, and we should put a few more past these.

You sure you watching the same game? Gave it away most of the times he touched the ball, and he wasn't even trying to do anything creative with it. Then that 2nd chance was an awful attempt.

Lovely pass, even better finish. Exceptional finish really given the start he had made

Lovely finish after the worst possible start for him. Fair play lad

Looking like a competition winner atm
