We will need him over the next few weeks when the inevitable yellow cards kick in

To be able to pick 4 from:

Luiz, McGinn, Ramsey, Kamara, Teliemans and Buendia (eventually) and at a push Zaniolo and Bailey as wide players, isn't a bad place to be in.

Before the Forest, I suggested that Tielemans should play instead of Z or Bailey. Yesterday showed why. I thought his movement was excellent, his tracking-back very good and his passing instinctive. Until Ramsey is fit to start, Tielemans should be kept in that role and Z and Bailey should be involved later in the game.

As a squad of midfielders there is no better in the league at present - there maybe the odd individual (although struggle to find one better than Mcginn / Luiz at the moment)

When you look at it like that, its an unreal midfield we have developed over the last few years. Incredible that one of those names was a Steve Bruce signing - but fair play to Lange for the majority of the work done in that time.

Even those like Zaniolo and Bailey who have taken a bit longer to get going are still well recognised across european football and would still get into a lot of squads challenging for European competitions across the top 5 leagues. Not surprising that when you pair that bunch of players with a manager as good as Emery, we are where we are.

and then behind that lot we have Iroegbunam and Kellyman who both look like top prospects, that's a lot of quality and depth and most of them are young enough that we could keep them as a group for a good few years.

It’s really pleasing to see him start to bed in. He is a bit different to our other players, and is always looking for that incisive pass. Brilliant option to have.

Lovely involvement in the goal. His vision offers us something different, really starting to show class now.

Vision and sharp execution, no messing, released with great timing. He's really starting to show us something.

Is he likely to start next week in place of Kamara? Or is Ramsey a more likely swap? I can never remember what kind of midfielder anyone is.

If it’s a like for like replacement for Kamara the Donk has a shout. But who knows what Unai has up his sleeve.

His passing his ace, the best thing about him. He does tend to get caught in possession a fair bit, in a similar way to Buendia.

Yeah but I think that’s because he is always looking for that incisive pass.
