I appreciate our defensive strategy didn’t help, but he was brilliant yesterday. Best performance from an opponent in the Premier League? He could have had six easily, and made chances too.

Line-acre hyping him up on MOTD. But he's probably right. He's been on fire, form wise, for ages and it's rather annoying that he wasn't used properly by Southgate at the Euros. I also laugh at Pep, what was he thinking? 
Agree it's great see such a silky un-English type player.

Funny thing is, before the game yesterday, the accepted wisdom on here was that it was Nicolas Jackson who was going to rip us a new one 
I remember when some on here genuinely thought we had a chance at getting him

Contracted at Chelsea until summer 2033. It’ll cost a lot of money for Real to prise him away. Can’t see Barca or PSG being able to afford him.
Well if he could finish he would have done, the fact it was another player offers no consolation.Funny thing is, before the game yesterday, the accepted wisdom on here was that it was Nicolas Jackson who was going to rip us a new one
I honestly think he's the best player in the PL at the moment. We would have won the game yesterday at a canter if he had been playing for us.

Depends if Chelsea face PSR sanctions. I have a feeling that they’ll be looking at the outcome of the City case quite nervously.
........................and remember that some of us did!Remember when some posters on here didn’t want him when we were linked

Palmer makes Foden look like Clooney.

I was right over it and I couldn't believe how quickly he had scored.
It was a great strike, with no warning, caught the keeper out with a quality finish.

And Van Dijk from a defensive position. Those 3 performances are the best I’ve seen against us in the Prem. Noticeable that they all happened in the earlier seasons when we weren’t as established.

Not from me. Barndoor Nicolas is very unlikely to rip anyone a new one. Lots of catching practise for the fans behind the goal though.Funny thing is, before the game yesterday, the accepted wisdom on here was that it was Nicolas Jackson who was going to rip us a new one

He looks like Plug from the Beano's Bash Street Kids.He is an absolute Rolls Royce of a player.
When I look at him though I think of Peter Crouch's answer when asked what he would have been were he not a footballer.
His reply: "A virgin"
I know we helped him yesterday but I still think he's class. He seems to sometimes glide over the ground.

Totally agree. But imagine it had been Steele, his ' fan club ' would been claiming you shouldn't be beaten at the near post. And not forgetting Bart's poor pass out and his little ' excursion ' when Webster cleared off the line.

He reminds me of Dustin Hoffmans character on Rainman.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh'
Is he a "good" driver?
But given the opening question was best against us, I would say “no” for the reasons and players mentioned.
