Solanke is an animal. Don’t think I’ve seen a centre forward work as hard as he does.
Bentancur has bullied McAtee and done all the dirty work needed against City. Broke up the play great.
Their wingers have the beating of our full backs so the most annoying part is we don’t defend the next bit well. For Nunes to have a tap in there is criminal.
We need more from our wingers when we get it and they need to take us up the pitch. Deki and Sarr working hard and have obviously contributed to the goals. Romero and Dragusin have done well.

City always going to have more of the ball and at times we will have to hang on but wide boys important and have to contribute when we have it.

They will bring on the big guns but it’s still here for us.
 
I think Gray has plenty of quality and plenty of potential, he’s just not a RB.

He’s a ball player, his movement gets him away from players as does his footwork, but he doesn’t have a lot of pace. So put him in the middle where he can play the ball and he’s better, put him at RB where he ends up in a foot race with wingers and he’s better struggles.

Good player, wrong position. Don’t write him off.
 
That 40 million is looking expensive because that one pace issue isn't great for a player wants to excellent as a 6. He's young but of the kids Odo Sarr Bergvall Moore.. I'm least excited by his potential
Stick Rodri at RB and I'm sure he'd get rinsed by most decent wingers too.

Gray may well have a future as a 6 or at CB. He's clearly got quality and plays with a maturity not usually seen with 18 year olds. But a RB he is not, at least not for top end Premier League football.

They're only missing Haaland, Silva, Rodri, KDB, Grealish, Kovacic, Gvardiol, Doku, Walker, Anakji and Ederson from the starting line up.

Oh look there's two of them on now.
