I didn't know what sort of player he was last year, and am still not entirely sure, other than a very good one. I said it before but I think it bears repeating, in that in my opinion he's gone from a promising youth getting a few games here and there because of injuries or suspensions, to first midfielder name on the team sheet. Ramsey, McGinn and Luiz are starting to look like a very good midfield trio, now that the dire 4-2-3-1 has deservedly been ditched.

I don't want to get bogged down in this, but I think you should only shoot from that distance if there aren't any other options closer in. There were two glaring options, both of which involved goalscorers being in promising positions.
Anyone apart from Tonev is entitled to shoot in that situation.I don't understand the criticism he got from the commentators

Ramsey, McGinn and Luiz are starting to look like a very good midfield trio, now that the dire 4-2-3-1 has deservedly been ditched.This may have been said before, but I'm starting to see a correlation between the 95/96 season. Three midfielders that can do a bit of everything:McGinn/Townsend - loves a tackle, with a powerful shot and cracking engineLuiz/Draper - a touch of class about them, always busy and wanting the ball (although don't score as often as they should!)Ramsey/Taylor - local lad that runs all day and drives the team forward at every opportunityIt's not a perfect like-for-like but there's something in this, right? I've missed a lot of the discussion about formations on here, but as a midfield three, I think they're the best we've had in a very long time. With Sanson, Nakamba and Carney to come in as well, our midfield is starting to look pretty settled. We have decent replacements for all three. It's just a case of getting a system around them that helps us start dominating play a bit more. The front 3 (or 2) need to start retaining the ball a bit better and we'll really start hurting teams.

He never has anything good to say about us, if we have a chance he'll focus on the oppositions defending, he's an absolute bellend, and seems to always be on our games.
