Really liking this lad, a very good centre back. Has never put a foot wrong since joining us and definitely deserves to be considered a great free transfer for us.

He was good again tonight.  Really useful 4th choice centre back as we can trust him.

He's ace and gives up the option to rest Konsa without panicking when the two left sided centre halves come back.

Starting on Saturday hopefully.

4th choice? He's ahead of Mings by miles.

Victor Lindelof completed all 85 of his passes tonight, which is the best 100% passing accuracy figure by a player in a Premier League game since Aymeric Laporte for Man City in February 2022. https://x.com/johntownley11/status/2009019225168560477

United reject wah, wah, waaaahhhhh.

He's absolute mustard. There's a case for not taking him out too.

A few things from looking at his wiki page that surprised me. He's only 31. He's 6ft2. He only played 48 games across 4 seasons at Benfica before ManU paid big money for him. If we dont offer him a longer deal, there will be plenty who will.

Looking a shrewd piece of business - international captain whose reputation was dragged down in the mess that is Man Utd, shouldn't be that much of a surprise he is half decent.

He has been terrific. He seems very precise (in a way that Diego Carlos was not, for example).

Not his fault, but when he plays on the left, we are more limited in our passing. In the earlier games, he'd made a few sallies with ball at feet, which compensated. We didn't get that last night, though.

So, he's been brilliant, but we need Torres back in that position when fit.

I was randomly watching old highlights yesterday and he's right there in the first significant point of Emery's first game, getting spun by Ollie at the start of the move for Baileys goal.

I think I'd watched that highlight so many times that it had got into my head that he was shit. How very wrong I was.

I'll hold my hands ups and admit I was disappointed when we signed him. He has been an important addition to the squad.
