Yes, I too hope our striker scores a goal this season. Gayle’s been on target twice in the league since the restart. Joelinton good for one too Our strikers are relatively on fire now given the great void that was before

One of my main hopes for the remainder of the season, for sure

Lack of beard. Balance shot to bits. Balance looked good on his left footed smash at goal. ? Really wish that had gone in man!

Lack of beard. Balance shot to bits.

Mings, Stones, Maguire all loads better than him like? At passing maybe, defending nah. Apart from against maybe half a dozen countries, you’d play those three you’ve listed over Lascelles imo. The number of games we play where we’re going to be under the cosh is minimal. Mings wouldn't be ahead of Dunk or Lascelles in any circumstances imo. Can only imagine it's because he plays for Villa or something as he's done nothing to warrant being ahead of the two mentioned. It's clear as day that they're both better than him.

I mean I wouldn't be looking for wholesale changes at CB like. Our group are mint and I like them all individually. Bringing one quality player in like Dunk would be enough imo.

I got laughed at for suggesting dunk as a target after the takeover. I think he’s quality and would certainly improve our options. He's mint. Fernandez is what, 31-32? With a year extension? Dunk would be a fine replacement for him.

You would imagine he would stay until the first manager from a lower/mid-table team is sacked next season and he'll be the one of the managers on the list to replace. Don't think I'd want him here that much though, he's alright. Nothing more.

Dunk is another one often overlooked, he's the ability to boss games at the back like Jamaal. If England are after good defenders, they're missing out big time with Lascelles & Dunk. I mean fucking Walker plays at CB for them, albeit on the right of a 3.

Mbappe, Griezmann, Dembele, Coman, Fekir, Lemar, Ikone are his competition. I'd argue he's not far off the bolded players level, and better than the italics ones. He's better as a winger than Griezmann too but left him bold as he plays more central for France and seems to do well. Imagine having to play against a team with Mbappe on the right and Saint-Maximin on the left with Benzema up top... Fekir is more of a 10 - Lemar has had a bad year - Dembele is always injured - there’s a chance you know I do like Lemar though, really gifted player imo. Putting ASM in the same bracket as those guys is already some feat given he plays for Newcastle United in 2020! Dembele though, plus Ikone... Saint-Maximin smokes those guys.

Quite a powerful runner with the ball when he gets going. Far less awkward and bumbling than Maguire for instance.

Summed up nicely.

Mings, Stones, Maguire all loads better than him like? At passing maybe, defending nah.

I also feel like Lascelles is the type of character who if he got capped it would actually improve him as a player, both in stature and confidence. Some cower a little under the pressure, I think Jamaal would have the correct mentality for it and we'd see the benefit.

Just seen the WHU-CHE highlights. Willian is class. Mad that some don't rate him that highly, been superb for Chelsea imo. Also Rudiger is overrated imo (not just based on this game either).

He is a fantastic defender like. Better than Mings imo who has managed caps lately. I'd also say he's a better defender than Maguire so...

So satisfying. Goal of the game for me, although the 2nd and 4th both very good too.

8 apps 2 goals is pretty good like. Definitely a good player in the making whether here or elsewhere.

At the end did he say he had been going for walks and that's how he's playing so much better and looking less injured all the time? Or did he say working in his Fre-nglish accent? If so, he must have been taking Shelvey, Bentaleb & Carroll with him as they're all looking so sharp.

Very good today.

Sissoko.

Great football that. (Meaning Carroll’s effort)

Enjoyed Bentaleb’s play today.
