Onana/Kamara looks something we can build on to help stabilize the midfield and add a layer of protection to the defence. Hard to see Ollie getting back in the side right now. Duran is getting better each week and taking chances. And when he came Ollie spurned his opportunity.

Obama/Kamara is what it’s all about.

Onana, despite being very young is already a really good leader. To call him Obama is a step too far.

Very democratically put.

Near perfect. Tielemans the best player on the pitch, Rogers a close second.

Tielemans, Duran, Rogers all contenders for man of the match
But No bad players today great team performance all over the pitch

I’m Durans biggest fan on here and I thought he was immense with the ball and without
Anyone thinking his all-round game isn’t great needs to watch the match again

It’s not, it’s really easy to see him getting back into the side. Weird attitude.

Attitude? I wouldn’t say it’s easy. Duran is getting picked to start in big games and taking his chances. Ollie will get selected but the scales are tipping in favour of Duran the longer Ollie wastes opportunities or simply doesn’t look the player of the last 2 seasons.

Just need Brentford to beat Forest by a 2 goal margin and Bournemouth to fail to win at Man United and we'll be in the top 4 at Christmas. Happy days!

Clumsy mistake at the end, but a nice illustration that if the midfield balance is right then our defenders start to look a lot stronger. Pau and Konsa did very nicely today.

Duran has the shirt now and can see why . When he goes off we seem to lose a lot up front . Watkins came on and missed his usual one on one .

Duran and rogers seem to really compliment each other. Their linkup was brilliant  at times.

I thought mcginn on the right was also excellent

Youri needs to also stay in this position he was superb

Duran is improving his all round game every time he plays. 21 years old and he's already one of the best forwards in the league.
A great team display from everyone today which could and should’ve been more.
