I think Luiz was the main positive from yesterday. Onana next to Luiz should really be enough to get us top 5 if Onana is fit every week between now and May..

Oh well.

I thought he played very well, as did all of the returning Trio - Bailey and Tammy both would have scored on a different day - but I think our business has been very sensible.

Thought he was great. Won a few balls high up, kept possession neatly and even found the odd bit of space. Him and Onana will pair up wonderfully.

Just before kick off you could see how much he loved being back at VP in claret and blue. Pity we didn’t get the result to mark his return but that wasn’t down to the effort he put in.

Was 'his' song the same one he used to have? I thought not.

Great to see him back and in command. The way he manipulates the football is top-class. Only Youri and Bouba compare in that regard in our current squad.

Was worried about his fitness but getting 100 minutes into his legs at high intensity will hopefully stand him in good stead.

Was very good in first half but he had little to do in second half in that role. Pity as would have liked to have seen him released further forward. He was good for us in the past breaking in the box getting on the end of things.

Thiago man marked him all second half.  A smart tactic from Andrews, because it meant Konsa and Pau ended up being the sole creators on the edge of their box.
