Merino would probably be the one to sit deeper if he and Shelvey both played!Quote:

I think it will be difficult for Rafa to change this team apart from training injuries.Quote:

A quality player that we all saw in pre-season and also in a few of the games we've played, he's shown he's building up to be sure fire quality and not just a flash in the pan.
If he keeps this up he's going to be hard to shift and can only enhance the teams ability to progress nice and steadily.
he's a young lad, his form will be up and down, it's a squad game and as long as 2 from Merino, Hayden and Shelvey are available more often than not, we will be ok.
Yep, I agree with that.Quote:

From what I have seen if he keeps it up we need to tie him down a.s.a.p. a champions league side will be sniffing round him before long.
