Don’t be negative. Sometimes he doesn’t. Classic you this is.

I said a few negative things about Sakamoto earlier in the season but he’s completely proved me wrong in recent weeks and again tonight. Pleased for him - he works so hard on the pitch

This is the other thing..he works so hard for the team.

Let's face it we have always had players who are hard working and run their socks off. Which is why we can't carry players like Ayari and to lesser extent Haji.

It’s players like Tats that make you love football.

He can beat a man either way, works hard, defends, low ego, team player..

All true, but on top of that is his technical ability (touch, vision, weight of passing). We don't seem to have paid much for him, and you've got to hand it to the scouting team, although did I read that he was almost an 'accidental' find when we were looking at someone else?

We need at least one other striker. We had four midfielders on the bench last night and no forwards. A couple of injuries up front and we are really struggling.

His fitness level vs the start of the season is incredible. Looked like he could have played 2 games last night.

I've criticised his final ball but he's improving that, it's still not as good as his approach play but decent.

The wing back system he wasn't truly a viable option .. sure he can play 10 or wing back but he's clearly not first choice of either

Even so, we could do with another back-up striker with some experience.

Yep. I think we need another striker. If the youngsters aren’t considered good enough yet.
in the very little I’ve seen of him I thought Obikwu looked a better prospect than Tavares but hasn’t had a minute on the pitch.
Who was the lad who literally had a minute vs Middlesbrough? He’s not been seen again either.

Kai Andrews, I think…pretty sure he did pre-season with the first team squad. Tavares is the same age as Simms, so not sure he can be described as a youngster!

If Tats had scored with that bicycle kick last night it would have been the main talking point today.His skill and his application of it is what makes this septuagenarian (old git) love watching him.

Saka was immense last night. As well as his tricky wing play and providing a wide attacking option ; he tackled back everywhere including the left side of the pitch on one ocassional!
He also produced some great longer range passing.
His combination with MVE is working brilliantly.

What a gem Saka is , a proper breath of fresh air. His fitness levels have improved immeasurably since the start of the season and now we are seeing his potential. He has terrorised the full backs he's up against since being switched to the wing but his tracking back had been equally impressive. So exciting to watch.

The song sounds awful 9 times out of 10, just mumbles until the doodoodoo bit. It’s never changing now though, like the awful Gyokeres song.

“Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah-blah-blah-blah-blah, Tatsu on the wing, Sakamoto on the wing”.

Is that right?
