    Last night's performance and Diame

    For me it was the best of the season. Let's face it we could of hammered them and for me they were never really in the game apart from a few glimpses of hope. I didn't see who got MOM but I thought Diame was an absolute beast. Couldn't believe when the stat came up that he'd made more tackles than any other player in the league. That's an achievement in itself and last night he broke up play constantly, winning back possession time and time again. Credit to him and credit to Rafa for getting these performances out of him. I was also very impressed with the 3 center backs, they looked very solid for a change in system and executed it very well. Great 3 points and momentum to take into the West ham game. 👍🏻

    Fernandez was MoM according to SSN.

    But agree on your points about Diame.

    Ah right I would of definitely given it to Diame but Fernandez had a great game as well what a signing he's becoming. Schar put in a top shift as well.

    We rode our luck for long periods of the game and strangely teams lose the ability to finish against us .. Watford and now Burnley .. Some of the misses were comical ,but hey you take the good luck while its there , cos invariably the bad luck evens it out . At least the 20 points target by xmas is definitely on now ... Possibly more .
    I think Dub in goal is the key .. He has a knack of being in the right place .. Apart from their first goal , and consistently good performances keep us in games.
    Onwards and upwards .. Hopefully if we get free of relegation worries the fat kernt will sell up .. Although that brings with it the fear he doesn't and refuses to spend (again) cos we are safe.

    Yeah Diame has made more tackles than any other player in 2018
    He’s gave the ball away more times than any other also
    Take away the tackles he makes to win the ball back he’s lost and he will maybe have made 3 😂

    If the defense gels and plays like that every week Lascelles will be warming the bench for a while.

    Aye...definitely wouldn't put Lascelles straight back in. Or Shelvey, for that matter.

    3 games without them (well, 2 and a half) and 3 wins.

    Ashley will be looking to sell Lascelles for £30m+ in January to fund a LB and the rest (£20m+) will go in the club ‘coughers’ (if you pardon the pun).

    I have a feeling the players know lascelles is being sold
