He’s a player though. 

People slagging Caicedo off is such a lazy take. Probably been the best midfielder in the league this season along with Palmer.

Plugged gaps and used his speed very well in a tough situation for a sub.

 

Personally, I think he's going to generally show most of his real qualities from RCM over a sustained period but it was the right time today to get him in centrally.

When everyone’s fit where does he fit in or doesn’t he.

 

That Bruno in the middle song with Isak & Botman mentioned,How many times have they all played together

 

I dont think ive seen “Everyone fit” for a spell years.

Think we'll see him in for Longstaff next game.

 

Longstaff was good today but Tonali was quality against Chelsea by all accounts (I missed the game) so feels like he should keep his place.

 

Was very telling that when he came on today he went to the centre of the midfield trio, think that's the plan going forward and I can't wait to see it.

Tonali was great midweek, and he was excellent when he came on today as well. Not sure he'll start against Forest, but at least the midfield is starting to look less fragile. He looks much better when he's played centrally.

Midfield looked so much better without him and he looked so much better coming from the bench, guess this is what's best right now.

He was our best player arguably on wednesday.  The team had decent balance today.

We bossed Brighton's midfield too

We absolutely hammered Brighton.  I couldn't care less what the score was, we battered them.  Get a look at the Brighton players when the final whistle went.  They were totally in shock and at the same time celebrating like they had won the world cup.

Most frustrating game of the season. We would be level with fourth if we had won that

Got the feeling eventually we will see... 

 

                Tonali

     Bruno          Willock 

Gordon                    Joelinton

                  Isak

 

But perhaps Longstaff has cemented his starting place for a while again in Eddie's eyes.

There would be something wrong if we couldn’t fit Tonali into our team. I know the team is the most important thing but it would be a waste. 
 

Early days though, no need to freak yet. As long as we’re winning.

Doesn't matter how much we bossed them - we couldn't finish that day. If Arse bossed us today but kept losing composure in and around the box, we'd call ourselves deserved winners.

But that didn't happen did it?  Arsenal were second best today and we rightly won.  We stuffed Brighton and were robbed.  Massive difference.  What's with this bossed them bollocks?

There’s definitely scenarios where he can play that #6 role, either coming on at 60 mins or against certain opponents. I think Howe will keep Bruno there for the majority of the time though.

To be fair when we won games earlier in the season like this, all I read was how lucky we were
