Matched Brighton physically today I thought. He was getting tighter to players and then as per, his passing and use of the ball were great.

Absolute class today. Assured as always, but defensively excellent as well.

I'm just gutted that when he broke through his pass wasn't quite there to put Diaby in, brilliant play. What I really like about him is that you can tell he's a really smart player who's thinking 1-2 steps ahead. He's needed a bit of time to settle but the quality is there and starting to show now.

When he came surging forward at one point I was thinking/hoping he was going to do an Alan Hutton.

Classy player, getting up to speed with the pace and physicality of the PL.

In one respect he did, by giving it to an opposition player! ;)

I love watching this guy, his technique on the ball is absolutely superb, and he is now showing signs of getting to grips with the defensive side of the English game.

Classy player and starting to read the game well.  I like his passing and the way he brings the ball out of defence.  Very good player who is still finding his feet and we have to be a bit patient with him.  Was really good today apart from their goal, but that was a wholesale screw up and I can't understand why Fati wasn't given offside when he was behind Martinez and came from an offside position to play the ball. Oh well. 6-1!

I can only assume that the Brighton player didn't touch the ball when it got played. It was impossible to tell on the telly when I was watching.

So easy on the eye. He reminds me of someone....it might be Alan Hansen, no less.

I was very impressed with him today, by far the best I’ve seen him play for us.
Some of his passing is sublime.

Put a lot of concerns I had after Anfield to bed in the last week, which is nice.
