Impressive depth.

Baleba staking his claim for the starting berth.

Tough choices for FB.

Great fan of WBG as I am, I think today showed why he was let go. I don't think he could ever do what Baleba did today playing as the only defensive MF.

Now surely some literary genius on NSC can slot this one home :shrug:

He played as the only DM at home against Man Utd where he was basically the best player on the pitch.

And, as I said, I’d have had him further back and allow Baleba to be the runner further forward.

But it’s a preference on style as much as anything.

Van Hecke and Veltman were also immense I thought.

Baleba was MOTM but those two were excellent.

Van Hecke was his usual self, class and didn’t put a foot wrong. He’s so good these days it’s ridiculous.

But in all honesty, neither him or Veltman had much to do. Ipswich defended very well but offered nothing going forward and when they did, Baleba generally sorted it out. They came for a point and got it.

Did the half dozen Ipswich counter attacks not concern you, they ripped us to shreds? JPVH I think last ditch saved us twice, whilst some awful finishing by them saved the day. So open to pace.

Just love Baleba.

Hoping we get at least 2 seasons out of him, before the inevitable £80m + move…..

Can’t wait to see how he celebrates when he scores

If he'd put that chance away after 6 minutes, I reckon we'd have got 4 or 5. I think that's the first one he's really kept down and on target - so it's going to happen soon!

Nearly all of their dangerous counters were created on the other side though as once again we faced an asymmetric formation with no real left winger but a real right winger licking the sideline.
