I am quite a fan of Traore. I would also prefer to keep El Ghazi around as a squad player.

I feel for Davis, he seems to be in the wrong era. Flick ons to no-one, gets to the byline and crosses to no-one. The one decent cross we got to him he headed it down nicely for Ramsey, but apart from that the service to him was dire.If he played with a Michael Owen type he would probably look more effective, but Deano says he doesn't like playing with two strikers unless we are chasing and going direct.

El Ghazi and Traore need to learn that the odd worldie doesn't mean that you should shoot every single time the ball comes to you. Traore needs to cut the diving out too, it's embarrassing.

On the positive side, I can't remember the last time I was so happy with our back 5 unit. We'd have more clean sheets too if it wasn't for us carrying Barkley for 10 games or so, who quite often is the most likely start of the opposition attacks.

And it goes without saying, Jack being back is huge for us.

Taking 4 points from 6 against a decent team is good progress. We are still a work in progress. Grealish is no more than 60/70% fit but still lit up the game when he came on. All in all not much to choose between the teams. A game that will live short in the memory.

Davis ran around a bit - but he looked fucked after an hour.

Probably hasn't played an hours football since he was 13

I expect we'll bring in a wide-ish player in the summer, so Bert and AEG will have to up their games (in fairness, AEG has done this already this season) if they are to keep their places.

TMWWOW was on the co-commentary with Jack Woodward -always good to hear the Great Man's voice.
