People go on about trent being so good on the ball, but don't seem to mention it even half as much with Trips. Apart from power in the strike they're pretty much on par for me, and Trips can defend miles better.

Back to being the class puppet master that we all grew to love.

Its crazy how far we've come, gone from hopeless, and nailed on for relegation, to pure cless in all areas and it feels like there's Still more to come.

Agreed, much prefer it wasn't happening and its frustrating to lose a player for what could be a very long time for it, but he's our player and we have to stick with him through it. Now he knows we will

Class seeing the reception he got warming up, will do wonders regardless of what's coming ban wise

His and Gordon's energy levels are out of this world.

Pretty much a perfect 1st half, total domination.

The interchange down the right has been delightful so far.

He's been class in the 1st 30 minutes

Frederico Chiesa

Brilliant today, world class goal, and beat his man down the line to cross with right. Perfect day for Miggy

He is a machine, the Tonality signing could have mentally messed up him, but he's gone to another level

I do wish he'd stop picking up silly yellows, but he's becoming unplayable

I do wish we do the subs a little earlier, with all the game we've got coming up. Another good performance and win though.

Lascelles is quicker both in pace and on the turn, and Burnley are actually quick nippy up front these days. So reckon that's why he's gone with Jamal

I think it was the perfect game to play him in. The lad clearly has talent and technical ability, so having him experience top level physicality and the pace of the game will do he wonders.

That back 4 scared the life out of me on paper, but it just goes to show how much a good bit of coaching, and set up can do.

Agreed, I don't mean to discredit Schar at all because he's been class as well, and is miles better than anyone Woodgate had to play next to.

I think it's just become predictable since no-one else ever takes them, makes its easier for teams to set up against. I always insist on having 1 Lefty and 1 Righty over all free kicks to keep teams guessing, we just need that decent lefty.

Maybe I was just over nervous, felt like we needed a bit more of foothold from about 70 onwards.

Unbelievably good, only seen Woodgate completely transform a back 4 in the same way for us.

I'll be shocked if we don't see 1, if not both of them against Sheff U next weekend, with Tripps coming back in for Man City and whoever played the best staying in for that one as well

My only slight criticism with him is the subs atm, Liverpool ones were bad, and yesterday felt like it needed a midfield change to get the game back under control, but we won and thats the main thing.

No-one was going to be a real standout yesterday. 3 loses on the bounce, nervy feeling around the place, it was a just win the game type of scenario. We did that, it was a hard watch but will do wonders for the next few games.

For me the order is 1.CB (the drop off from Schar and Botman is huge) 2.DM (All top sides over here have a proper one, would also allow us to play 4-2-3-1) 3. Creative attacker - 10/RW 4. Whatever Howe wants (as long as its not another full back)
