I thought we may struggle today with our Lynch pin that goes by the name Muric unavailable, but wow what a win! The new guy Ekdal looks so good on the ball. The only maybe worrying aspect with him is maybe a lack of pace. We will see, great debut.
Thought Barnes was just unbelievably good today.
The way Beyer brings the ball out is fantastic. What a team we have. What a management team as well. Long may it continue because it is truly awesome to watch. Oh a mention for Maatsan too, what a player.

Dont like giving out 10s 😁 but some good performances today.
The transformation in Barnes style of play has been amazing. He looks so much better on the ball, control and touch has been excellent lately. and Again today. Definete case for him being MOM, but Maatsen just edges Imo this time. He covered so much ground, and his influence on so many moves.
Also, Cullen is the glue that holds it all together. Excellent ball retention again today. Rarely gives the ball away
The Dalek,had a tremendous first game as well. EXTERMINATE..EXTERMINATE..😁

Maatsen. 10 - We need to keep this lad, awesome performance.
Cullen. 8 - Ball retention brilliant, foot-in awesome.
Brownhill. 9 - Awesome energy - top notch Josh.
Tella. 7 - Should have scored.
Gudmundsson. 8 - Two game changing corner kicks, back to his old best.
Zaroury. 8 - As dangerous as a python in long grass.
Barnes. 9 - Barnes storming performance, he gave Hanley a torrid afternoon.

Another great win. The squad is excellent. Cork and THB out and we still get a great win. Ekdal and Beyer were superb. Whilst Muric is the better goalkeeper, PF did well.
JGB is back to his best and good old, sh*thouse Barnes is playing his part all over the pitch. Charlie came on and slotted in well.
It is too early to form an opinion on Foster. We were not dominating possession for the period that he played. He did occupy their defence and was an out ball if we needed it. By that stage the match was won and we were focused on a clean sheet.
BPF...................8 Please keep him in the team Vinni, I'll sleep much better of a night.
Roberts.............7
Beyer................7
Ekdal................9 Another one that makes you wonder just WTF our recruitment have been doing these last few years.
Maatsen............8
JBG..................7
Cullen...............8
Brownhill...........7
Twine................7
Barnes..............8 Never seen him play better.
Vitinho..............8
Taylor................7
Foster................? I'll wait until he touches the ball before I decide whether he can play football or not.
