Reminds me of Sammy Ameobi. Capable of a moment of brilliance but 99% of the time everything he does is wildly out of control. Capable enough for certain sides, but not for us anymore.

Obvious dive. Played for it rather than trying to actually control the football. Poor poor player.

Terrible game. Barnes looks like the only pro footballer on the pitch. All passes are going astray, first touches are all over the place, low quality, messy game.

Beautiful. I think the premier league might be a bit shite?

People need to stop with the Vini's and Bellingham's as the world's best players. Lamine is the fucking boy. He's so clear of them all it's absurd.

I'm hoping the James Trafford rumours are not with the intention to bring him in as a starter, rather as a back up for 1, 2 maybe even 3 years. Goalkeeping is a mentality game above all else, and it's why we see goalkeepers getting better with age and seldom do we see a young, early twenties top level goalkeeper. Their progression is very different to that of an outfield player. Trafford having a good season in the Championship at Burnley tells me almost nothing other than that he's a talented goalkeeper; mentality-wise, the step up to the premier league is big, the step up to being the number 1 at Newcastle United is absolutely enormous. I'd be concerned if he was our number 1 at this time.

And ours to be fair, by the looks of it. Nice to see.

Ref's having an absolute nightmare. One of the worst I've seen, completely disordered.

Victor Boniface on the bench of a team destined for the Championship. The opulence of English football is sickening.

2-3 to Chelsea?

It's a shame to be honest, as it appears he will be banned for a long time and he's a genuinely enjoyable, exciting player to watch in a time where such players are scarce.

Paqueta is a really good watch when he's on it. That said, Liverpool don't offer much resistance, they're really not that good of a side.

I'd no idea Ben Chilwell played for Palace now.

Man I opened this thread half an hour or so ago and was led to believe Palace were on fire and Wednesday was looking bleak. They're absolutely shite.

Aye, they're terrifying...

Fucking hell

Catts for me like.

Matty Cash 1-v-1 against Kvaratskhelia. Unai is a masochist.

I only watch him a handful of times each season, so my impression doesn't have a great deal of depth to it; but on the eye he doesn't emanate that kind of quality and mastery those mentioned in my initial post did. Each of them often looked a level above their peers, technically and mentally - Vinicius doesn't seem to have that touch of lasting class beyond fleeting moments.

I'm still not sure about Vinicius Jr, I don't think he's even close to the level of some of the wingers we've seen over the years, Robben, Hazard, Bale, Mane, Figo, (Hatem obv) etc. I feel like he's regarded in that esteem when in fact he's a level below Saka at present imo.

That second free kick is probably one of the best I can remember. The perfect blend of thunderous pace and complete precision is a rarity.

Raya has been outstanding.

Unbelievable. Three extraordinary goals.
