I like him too, he's direct and creative.

Good player at this level.

I also like him we have to play him from the start because he does the business for us he scores and creates.

I think in the last couple of matches he has played with more confidence and directness, so yeah, play him from the start.

(I suggest this is influenced by the extra competition for his place this season)

Or is it playing with Davis?
Typo!

I think he was always fairly direct but last season I genuinely think he didn't trust Hutton behind him so he was working deeper than I was happy with given he was our main creative threat.  Shifting to left and or playing in front of someone he's more confident in seems to have helped him a lot.  If he plays a decent number of games I think he has 8-10 goals and assists in him for the season (as do Snodgrass and Hourihane) and if they can provide something like that it will take the pressure off the strikers, the quality is definitely there.

With the wingers/attacking midfielders we have we really should be looking at them providing 35-40 goals as a unit, if we can then get another 30 or so from the strikers and a handful from the defenders at set pieces then we'll be there or thereabout.  Right now the midfield is 8 from 8 so they're doing their bit (unfortunately 6 of those came in 2 games) we need goals from the strikers now, and hopefully Kodjia will bring that.

I'm not sure about the last bit. I thought he was pretty decent last season as well.

I like Albert. He works hard and seems a cheerful sort of bloke. He certainly gets some unfair stick at times.

Definitely he left Taylor a bit exposed first half, but that would be the only criticism.

He's not getting enough love

Best player on the pitch yday. I'm surprised at how well he's doing on the left. A real goal threat cutting in

He did set up a lot for Kodjia from the right last season tho, so I'd still like to see him alternate

NOW there's a player, playing with confidence, maybe he should take the training sessions.

I agree Tony he seems to be playing with confidence and enjoying his football which is good to see.

His post match interview, MOTM Award was a delight. Stick or no stick, he's a far superior player than he was last season. Long may it continue.
