    Merino

    Fok me, what a game he had. Was there a header he didn't win? If it's a choice between him and Shelvey, on this performance it would be Merino every time. He won the ball, held it up, drove forward and made some brilliant passes. Outstanding game, imo.

    Agreed.

    Him or Ritchie my MOTM (i've not seen who actually got it yet )

    No way should Shelvey walk back into the team after his suspension.

    Nor Gayle when he's fit. I thought Joselu worked their defence much more than Gayle does.

    Agreed.

    The system that Rafa plays, Joselu fits what needs to be done much better than Gayle.

    I thought he was our best player at huddersfield but he was even better today - good in the air, holds the ball up well and is technically good. Rafa seems to have found a player.

    On this evidence you'd say Merino has to keep his place, maybe Hayden to drop out for Shelvey if anything?

    Thing is Hayden does those dirty jobs that Shelvey doesn't.

    I agree he looks like we have some player on our hands he's only young 21 I think?, and has just tasted premier league football and only just starting to bed into a team with other new players that haven't played together long...
    He can only get better
    Shame he's only on loan.... does anyone know if he's got a right to buy cause in his contract?

    No way should Shelley push his way back in the team unless it was at number 10 maybe

    Hes on loan but I would be surprised if theres not an option to buy clause, great vision and control. Hayden had one of his better games, the passing as slick and accurate, great all round team performance.Bilic could be he first manager to go I think,WH were pretty awful, cant remember hearing their fans morer than once, they seemed to accept defeat even when it was 0-0.
