Back to his best and long may it continue. Well in lad.

[nemtizz]

Worked his ass off, as he always does, but was actually decent in possession too.

[Fantail Breeze]

That turn and pass to Wilson for the 2nd goal was outrageously sexy.

Showed a level of quality we haven’t seen from him for a long time 

[toon25]

Really good performance tonight. Suffice to say, it's incredible what a decent manager does to him.

 

The guy has been robbed of decent coaching at a critical point in his career under the previous 'regime'

I find it so weird we can have such different perspectives. In a match where everyone else played well I thought he was totally anonymous until the last twenty minutes, when he did play some good football. 

[Yorkie]

Absolutely marvellous tonight, easily his best performance since those early ones. The pass before the second goal was pure taste.

I thought this as well to be honest. Lovely semi assist for the 2nd goal. Hopefully more to come from him, cause I rated him highly under Rafa. 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Fair play, I've been critical of him a lot but he was good tonight

 

Maybe, just maybe there is a player in there 

[dave s]

there’s definitely a player there, just got to be dragged out of him. confidence thing probably. played well tonight 

[Ikon]

Looked fit and on his toes. Good today.

We all want to sign some world class midfielders, but if he can play like that he is good enough for the next two years at least. I've got faith Eddie can improve him even more, and it would be great to have a local lad in the team than finally wins something. 

[The College Dropout]

Looked more mobile and better in possession. 

[LiquidAK]

We'll need homegrown players in Europe - a full season under Eddie and I can see him being an able squad player.

[joeyt]

Did brilliantly for the 2nd goal

[Tiresias]

what a wonder a good coach is to make players better. The sheer stupidity of ashley sticking with bruce, with every day he drained quality out of players and reduced their value. Thats the insane thing, he could have sucked way more money out of us if he wasnt too lazy to.

[Thumbheed]

No one will convince me there isn't a top class player in there. 

 

Still no way near the levels he was but he was still very effective tonight.

[NWMag]

Thought he was very good tonight 

[duo]

It's amazing what a bit of coaching does to a player.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

He was decent overall, still has a few of those moments where he’s not sharp or athletic enough to adjust and react. But I suppose all CMs do, it’s a hard position. 

[samptime29]

Good performance.

[GWN]

For me he was our only weak link tonight, too slow on the ball.

 

That said he done a few decent things and played ok to be fair but is not a player I’d keep unless Howe can find a key.

Eddie is “the locksmith”  with conjuring powers to boot! look at Krafth.

[Stottie]

Poor lad was totally Bruced, but there are glimmers of the Rafa-era player in there. Good luck to him whatever happens.
