His quality in the goals today was immense.

There were two or three great flicks, including the one for the Rogers goal.

He was super tonight. I thought it was a very mature display, too. 

I still think selling him is the smart thing to do, however, if we can get the right valuation.

His form had dipped I felt in the last few games but he was superb tonight.

There's been a few posts about this fella lately with the old complaints of giving the ball away, being outmuscled, let's sell him while his value is still high etc.

The dispossession mainly happens in non-dangerous areas. He has a unique ability to take one clever touch that takes out two or three defenders like he did for Rogers' goal. And his off the ball movement and finish with his weaker foot for our first was top-class. He's one of our players of the season, not some tossed-off B-side by the Rolling Stones. ¡Viva Buendia!

Beat me to it. Oh and he's nails. Love him.

I agree, he's a really unusual player in a lot of ways and he has some weaknesses, but if you can hide them in a structure enough some of his touches and vision put him above players who would be considered better than him.

I'd look good against Spurs.

So, what, sell him to Leeds United ?

Man of the match first half when everyone played well. Great player is our Emi even though he tries a lot of passes which don’t quite work. He’s clearly told to try them as he often opens up defenders.
