It's funny that the two smallest players on the pitch today (Lookman and Bernard) were the most technically effective ones. I really like Bernard, his touch is so good. But He's Brazilian, Standard. Whereas Lookmans touch is amazing for a very youthful Brit. We must keep this guy and develope him, he's going to be one of the best players in the league. Left foot, right foot, first touch, two touch. The kid has it all.

{Ed025's Note - i agree on ademola ace but bernard does not fill me with confidence though i must say, he loses the ball too easily and though he certainly has the talent i think he is struggling with the physicality of this league, hopefully that will change the longer he stays and im certainly not giving up on him just yet mate..

Got to agree with Ed25, Lookman showing what he can do today, always knew what he could do, watched him in Germany and had good reports from family. Bernard better off as an AM if we need to play him. Much rather have Richarlison where he is most effective in my view and Lookman on the other flank. Little bit worried about Gomez to be honest, does not look anything like the player that started his season. Mina as well for me, in my humble not worth the money we laid out. Maybe better alongside Keane with Zouma in front of them (if you can envisage what I am getting at) . Poor very poor first half, started slow but unlike Leicester game, gained in confidence and held it for long periods until the panic for a result kicked in toward the final minutes. DCL, an enigma, should we give him a few games, I mean we have 16 games to go and now have 30 points.

I see your point Ed. And I think it’s evident that he needs to improve physically as Silva never plays him beyond 70 mins. I do think he is technically very good though. DFS, I just think Gomez needs a rest. He is used to having a mid season break. He hasn’t had a proper pre season. He hit the ground running like nothing I have seen before. So taking your point about where we are points wise with games remaining, I would likely give him two weeks off so as to get the most out of him for the remainder after that of the campaign. DCL is a bit inconsistent for me, although he is young and my goodness he took his goal well. If we don’t sell Tosun in the TW then I’d give him a run. I just don’t thing we have given him the run he needs to get into the grove of scoring.
