A massive bonus that he’s back

That few seconds where he got fouled twice by Coleman then booked for not touching the Everton player was farcical.

The ref should be forced to watch it on repeat a la Clockwork Orange while Youri simultaneously kicks him in the nuts repeatedly.

He’s really important, particularly against sides who set out to defend, because he just sees passing opportunities that other players don’t.
It's where we also really miss Buendia
Haha! Injured player hero syndrome strikes again.

And why was Moreno booked after he'd been taken out by the corner flag?

Lenglet was booked in all that too.

Referees haven't a clue lately - clueless pricks.

In the first 33 goals this season, he had a direct hand in 11 of them. Some of the assists wouldn't be attributed to him (the shot that bounced off the crossbar, the dummy for Luiz, the defence splitting pass before the pass for the goal) but yes, we do miss the running around the box. Obviously when he didn't do anything, he also sometimes didn't do anything.

Wonderful strike ! For the 4th goal

And that set piece routine just before was fantastic!

It is no coincidence that his best performances have come when he’s playing behind Watkins in the 10 ot whatever that’s called.  Can we please keep him there?

One of my favourite moments from yesterday's game was how he won the ball in the air to help set us on the way to our third goal.

Agreed, I don't think he's got the legs to play further back.

Yeah, I've liked him there ever since we moved him there second half at Spurs. Makes a big difference. Diaby's got enough with having to adapt to a new country and a more competitive league, let him play a position he knows (wide) than trying to make him into a number 10.

Yep, play him in the #10 role and we'll do well.

Yes I spotted that too, excellent header and very brave.
