Think he must have already been giving him classes: Ellis, remarkably, won numerous headers / flick ons through October! He was like a different player.

Considering Vik went for £17.5m (initially), any bid of +£25m and I imagine Doug will even throw in a 50th Anniversary Shirt (#1/1975) for free. Haji is a good Championship striker, but he isn’t even close to Gyokeres’ and is wildly inconsistent.

That was class - there was another one out to EMC in the second half, which totally cut them in two, we played about 6 one-time passes in succession. By far the best passage of build up play.

There were a few first time balls that were filthy. Dare I say Hamer-esque…

One thing I noticed today is that EMC looks like he’s dropped some weight, and his fitness levels are therefore better too. When he first came, he looked heavy legged - he had great upper body strength, but struggled to beat his man for pace - the coaching team have clearly got him to a much...

Think these are spot on. Would maybe give Bobby 7.5 for his covering tackles; bailed us out a few times when they threatened to break, and it was his header that led to the goal. MVE must still be recovering from his illness. A week of rest will do them all good.

Referee was fine today. Linesman was abysmal though.

Rudoni has been abysmal. His return has changed our style of play, and not in a good way atm.

What a ball that was from Saka.

Depth of the squad is starting to be a real concern; at least Rudi is (almost) back, but definitely a worry for the busy weeks ahead.

That was absolutely Premier League filth from Grimes 😍

Thierry Henry seems to have borrowed Simms’ shirt 😂

Decent. Couple of small tweaks to help the rhythm… Last Christmas we brought in Lampard And the very next May, We nearly went all the way. This year, to save us from tears We're going to go up as Champions.

Ma-tty Grimes Your our Captain We’d be lost without you… 🎶 Ma-tty Grimes etc.

Think we’ll be unchanged; Rudoni and Asante on slightly earlier to freshen things up when needed.
