Agreed Sinkov but we all keep forgetting he’s still a young man who has a lot to learn - I tend to agree he maybe better left midfield at this time as he has all the attributes to be a superstar- usually his pace gets him out of sticky situations ( in this league anyway ).

I know I’ve posted before but I really think this boy has got the lot - Pace - skill - two feet - a very good brain ( sniffs danger ) I accept he makes the odd irrational decision but I believe he could be right at the top of the game.

As for Al Dakhil- struggled at Rotherham but certainly stepped up last night - and in Taylor’s defence he hasn’t played for weeks really and gets thrown in to what we’d call the biggest game of the season really - he did look way out of his depth though- I still think physicality needs addressing- I noticed Southampton had a lad on loan I think centre mid that would suit is to a tee - Romeo lavia I think - he’s a Belgium uncannily enough 👍
