Thought his tracking back was exceptional, an outstanding game with his energy.

He was excellent. I was skeptical when we Re signed him, not on ability but on attitude but he's been a great pro and and excellent signing this time. Today really summed that up and with Kamara out I'd much sooner have him than not. Like someone else said, I feel more confident when he's in the side, very classy and plenty of experience.

on that performance he can stay another season ,  rob edwards will have to wait. 

He'll be useful to have with all the additional games in the Champions League.

If there was a choice between Dougie and Ross at the end of the season I hope it's Ross.

I would see the former as the medium term replacement of the latter give the age profile.

Barkley is 5 years older. Excellent today and decent at Old Trafford but there were some pretty horrendous cameos from him before then off the bench. Luiz had a couple of poor games but has been decent since he came back for me. Think Barkley has another year left in any case.
