What a hard earned point! Defensively solid, keane an mina superb for me today. Gomes worked hard an put himself about also. My criticism is bernard an walcot have been wasteful in possession for few games now, i beleive lookman deserves a start, just to see if he can be as effective from the start. And Richiarlison, when he's up against tough centre halfs i would like to see more fight an take the game to them instead of always looking for the foul.
Please don't all say this is a negative post, i'm delighted with the point and our progress, but these little things could make us even better. The difference in this silva side to the side of last season is night an day . i'm back to looking forward to our games and expecting a result against whoever we play. Happy days.

Said this morning didn't think we would get anything out of the game and that we would see if Mina could cut it. Well the lad did agree on Walcot in particular, needs to up his defensive and tracking back. Lookman should replace him, put Ricci back on wing and bring tosun back as a Rondon like front man. Said I would eat my words if we got anything out of the game. Glad to put that right pass the HP.

I agree about Tosun, i think he deserves a run in the team the way we are currently playing, Richiarlison i'd not a striker, he would still get the goals from being on the wing the way he plays.

Why change something that ain't broken, were in a run of results that would have us challenging the top 6. Tosun isn't going to come in and score 2 or 3 a game. Stick with it lads, we will only improve with time.

Looks like a few players come out of that game injured, sig s Richiarlson, so maybe a few forced changes will happen either way, if so its down to them lads to take there chance. Tell you what though boys, its good tha we have some genuine quality to come in if needed. We can all remember some of the squads of old, i'm not going to name and disrespect previous players, but this is our best squad for a long time.
