I think he has a very accomplished set of attributes for such a young age too. The only thing I worry about with him if his focus at time, it looks like it is improving but if I am completely honest I don't trust him for example to mark his man on the corner well or always be in the right...

This is a setback for sure and a hard one to take. However we have to trust in the squad and hurzeler. Yes it seemed he was going to be a starter for us but we can't dwell on what the situation could have been, we have to focus on solutions. I have every faith in hurzeler being the right person...

The dynamism, technical ability and athleticism in a hypothetical midfield combination of o Riley, baleba and/or weiffer is very exciting. Could completely bully other midfields if we want to.

I was impressed with gilmour yesterday, he won the duels I felt he didn't win enough last season. Could be a good squad option this season.

Well we got a bit lucky with the zirkzee moment. But interesting hurzelers' substitutions were way more effective than ten haags'. To think we haven't got our full squad yesterday, we are really going to be able to change games that aren't going our way.

He's just doing a filling in job for now. I think hurzeler is well aware it's not his natural position. We will see the better of him later in the season I suspect, but he's doing his best.

The game next weekend is going to be a tough one, arsenal look very good.

Main difference is a team built over 2 years vs one for 2 games. Their press has been impressive, specifically mount. Surely they can't do it all game? Hopefully we can gel a bit more 2nd half and get another. Just worried about that space behind.

Look forward to it today, only one thing I'm worried about from a man u perspective is our high line and their quick attackers. Very curious how we cope, will we manage to cover those runs or can we manage to cut the pass directly from the source...

Got to use his name to the no limit song like the yaya/kolo toure one.

I am surprised by the loan but I can see why we would do it. Sevilla are always pretty astute defensively, great place to learn how to defend and test your technical ability.

Nonsense report, would make no sense at all to sell him any time soon.

Agreed, it's clear the press is a major component of our game as was anticipated. It's most definitely a squad game if you want to play that football for a full season.

Very interesting he mentions in his first interview that hurzeler talked to him about a change in position. Like we suspected it sounds like he will play cm at times.

What do you mean by passes and touches? The amount he had compared to every other premier league player? Even though they are nice stats (if I understand them correctly), I am not so sure it equates to him being effective enough for us to influence winning games. I always felt he was very...

Being completely honest, how many games did gilmour actually control? I think he's a good passer but rarely did I watch us last season and think gilmour ran that game.

It's a squad game, our situation is nothing like Chelsea's or any of the teams who've traditionally had a lot of financial firepower. A massive if, but if we were to get Europe too we'd be way better equipped than last year. Having upset players is inevitable no matter the size of the squad...

Wonder who our back up candidate is if fenerbache decide to play silly buggers.

I agree, I'm more curious if there's anyone else who's hat has been thrown in the mix.

Obviously there is supposedly interest from Man U. Other than that, who else would possibly try to take him (if anyone)? Hoping we can get this done before we play Man U this weekend.
