Thought JPVH’s distribution was patchy tonight…liked to launch the ball too much for my liking.
The defence was rather shaky first half. It made many mistakes. Settled down in the last 45.Thought JPVH’s distribution was patchy tonight…liked to launch the ball too much for my liking.
Your mumYou know what to do.
Not so sure many do, because those of us with eyes know that Adam Webster was clearly MotM but the narrative on said player is 'useless', 'get rid', 'always got a ricket in him', 'takes 6 or 7 games to get up to speed', and so onYou know what to do.
Agreed. Add in Yalcouye for next season, and we've got a stunning range of midfield talent. I really don't want it to happen but it means that if a £100m+ offer for Baleba comes in in the summer, the club would be right to look at it. There are rumours (just that rumours and I'm not ITK) that the club want to keep Carlos for another season, and I'd be delighted if that were the case but that list does illustrate that, if Carlos does stay for another season, there's some serious talent not getting enough game time.Not for man of the match consideration, but a special shout out for Mats Weiffer who came on and showed he was brave enough to carry on passing in tight areas when we were clinging to a one goal lead.
After his awful experience against Wolves most players would be psychologically scarred and would be lumping the ball into Row Z.
I think Mat is going to be another strong player working hard in our engine room of midfield players.
Baleba, Gomez, Hinshelwood, Ayari, Weiffer, O'Riley are all very fine players with masses of potential.
I voted JPVH, but yes, probably should have been Webster. There was just something about the way, despite some dodgy action on the ball, that Van Hecke brought attitude to the team that I felt was important. It needed a bit of stubborn, snarling defiance to keep us in the game at key moments.Webster for me - superb throughout.
With Georgino and Bart close behind.
Gomez was absolutely terrific first half, but tired really badly, and Hurzeler was lucky to get away with leaving the subs as late as he did.
I'm astonished at the mentions for JPVH - he was all over the place (and not in the positive sense).
I don't think anyone would watch, and doubt his commitment to the cause!I voted JPVH, but yes, probably should have been Webster.

Very good point about MW - Also when he came on Vs Stn at right back, just kept it super tidy and forward looking.Not for man of the match consideration, but a special shout out for Mats Weiffer who came on and showed he was brave enough to carry on passing in tight areas when we were clinging to a one goal lead.

This. Having watched the extended highlights back, he really did make LOADS of vital saves. I know it's his job and all that, but he really did make the difference.Bart
Im suprised hes not leading this poll, but what do i know
