Had a good game, took his goal well. Play like that every week and nick goals and he deserves his place in the team  8)

Ollie just read that and said, "If Carlsberg did Sundays". 8)

Based on nothing but a hunch I'd say he'd be off to West Ham in the summer if they stay up.

It's what I've previously gone for, that or Everton.

Swap deal with Bowen moving to Villa Park? I guess it would depend on how much on top we'd have to pay.

good finish today - the sort he does well, when he has no time to think about it - just a reaction finish

He fully deserved to start after the the game midweek, he was so good and he’s carried that forward today. I said at the beginning, him and Torres starting was very good news.

For such a, so-called poor season, he has still managed double figures and has several games left to get to 15 or so. Played well, worked hard, held the ball up well and brought other players in well.  Seems to be forging a decent link with Sancho.

My man of the match today. Worked his bollocks off up front, and also chasing back to help out in defence.

Absolutely the perfect mindset after being left out by Tuchel. Hopefully, this can kick him on for the remainder of the season, as he looked good when he came on against Lille.

Sure he was pleased that Kilman not playing.
Well taken goal and a great reaction to get there first.

He didn't please everyone, some bloke behind me in the Trinity shouting 'you fucking cart - horse' as he lost the ball with a couple of defenders around him late on. This had me sniggering far more than it should, the utter harshness after he'd run his bollocks off all afternoon and scored the second and decisive goal.

You cannot - as has been established - shirk the Smirk. Trinity Road or elsewhere.

If he was bald and wearing sunglasses, it was probably Smirker.
