Think I'd have given Tielemans MotM, totally ran the game.

That pass for Timmys goal was through the eye of a needle. 

[Guest Col city fan]

Going forward- sublime. With Tielemans and Barnes running the show

Defensively- shaky. With Justin isolated twice for their goals 

We need another quality CB to finish us off

[StanSP]

Mendy/Praet look like the players we wanted when we first signed for them. 

 

Running midfields and leave Youri to be the creator for the team. Got a good blend there.

I Bloody love this football club it gives you a rollercoaster of emotions at times but when we click and play well can put on amazing performances!!

Totally agree re Burnley. They were great. Everything that, bar the last 6 years, we would 

kill to have been for the last two decades. Organised. Committed. Dangerous. Disruptive. They worked us really hard and I like that they are out there every weekend sticking two fingers up rot the elite and running off a shoestring budget. Good for them. 

They were a nightmare. Which is a credit to them. 80% of the match was almost complete control to us yet we were a lucky rebound off the post away from them scoring three goals and a horrific last 5 hanging on

[trabuch]

A lot of positives from that. We'll be even better when Evans and Ricardo come back, and Maddison gets fit, and Ünder gets going.

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Zeer goed. 😊 🇧🇪

Quite. No idea how anyone can say he should be stronger, how are you not going to be knocked off balance if a lump like Wood pushes you with both hands

I don’t like the phrase “he’s got to be stronger”, you wouldn’t say a player should be taller. Wood is probably 5” taller than Justin and obviously stronger, there’s not much he could have realistically done aside from be more aggressive maybe 

[yorkie1999]

Happy with that, thought all the lads played well against a physical side. We’ve definitely improved as a team which is all you can ask for

Transfer department need to bring in that center back before the man city game.

No. We got Evans back 

 

don’t overspend. The real value in players will be found in these last 2 weeks. 

 

2 out of 2 makes life easier for rudkin

Great? How good were we then.

Both goals were down to him. 

 

He's pretty much made a leap from league 1 football to playing week in week out in the Premier League. 

 

I can accept mistakes and cock ups at his age, what I love are players that work their arse off for the shirt and he never stops getting up and down that line and is a genuine brilliant prospect. 

 

Get behind him and watch the player he becomes

Hey Brendan, I've solved the selection dilemma you will face in November.

 

There can only be one way to play now!

 

I'd swap castange and Ricardo. Castange looks better down the touchline and Ricardo drifts in a little better.

A centre back is an absolute must before the end of the window.

3 first team center backs isn't enough we need at least 4. It really isn't overspending.

[shailen]

Great performance all round - only criticisms I have if any would be Justin could have been stronger for both goals but it was impressive nonetheless. 

[Mythyaar]

Big up to Mendy. Did a great job today 👏👏👏

Evans usually gets an injury each season.. 

[Guest seanfox778]

Really enjoyed that. Nice one, lads!
