Brilliant last night, I thought. Took the game to them. Yeah, does things that betray his years, but I think he's going to be huge. We have to stay up.

We have to stay up.Clearly a very talented player with the ball at his feet and did a lot of good things last night. But we can't afford in a two man midfield for one of them to be caught ahead of the ball as regularly as Luiz was last night. In the aftermath of a great win last night, it's easy to ignore for example the first 20 mins when our midfield was ran ragged.
Douglas was very good the other night. He blended being a deep lying playmaker and being a shield for the defence really well. If he can keep this up, and Jack and SJM get up to speed quick we’ll have a chance.
I think of Javier Mascherano when he went to West Ham when I think of Luiz.He looked bang average, and couldn't get in the team ahead of Hayden Mullins, but we all saw what a player he went onto become.
I couldn't help but think when he picked up his booking for a cynical foul on the half way line, that we'd be a point better off if he'd done that against the Wolves. Still, he's learnt and looked good.
The Dingles second came about because Dougie didn't crunch Traore 40 yards from goal.
