Football is a game of opinions and I have had my fair few. Tom Davies was exceptional today in all he did. Really excellent distribution and technique to match the drive and determination I had witnessed previously.
I think if we will continue with 3 at the back and based on Holgates performance why not, a midfield dilemma is arising and it's great! When Gueye is back what is the 3 in midfield now we have Schniederlin and McCarthy back.
I have said many times on here that Mirallas is the best player we have, I just wish he did that for an hour every game. Maybe Koeman will use him like Leicester use Okazaki and say go nuts for an hour and don't worry because we'll take you off after.
Finally Lookman. He looks like a 14 year old, although I have been told by a Charlton supporting mate that he has a feeling the kid will be the next Ian Wright. Imagine that.
What a performance. Truly brilliant today. The most interesting stat, 71% possession to City, 38% of the game played in their last 3rd 19% in ours. Brilliant

15 Jan 2017 19:22:24
We need a deep Squad, I. E. two first Team players for each position, especially the style of football RK wants to play. Besic is a cracking player but again his style means he is going to be injured a lot of the time. Probably need another 3 CB, support striker and Goalkeeper (although I don't think this is a priority in RK's mind) .

It was a great game today. For me this is were Koeman is showing what a great manager he can be.
How different our midfield is looking. Davies has added a nasty and tenacious streak and provided more ammunition for Barkley.
On Barkley. Two assist today but for me each week we are seeing him chase and tackle more. He must have done 10 tackles today and he never gave up the chase.
Morgan had a good run out but little Lookman looks an absolute steel if his 5 minutes are anything to go by. I literally just looked at him for the time he was on the pitch and he doesn't stop moving. You would hate marking him because you'd end up running a marathon.
What next then. Well it's more of the same. We can still catch the rest and our next few game could see us move closer.
The season we finished 5th last we were 11 points behind Arsenal in 4th with 10 games to go. We then caught and overtook them

Icing on the cake to see 7 year old Lookman making it a thrashing. Pep's heaviest league defeat ever as a manager. Always been a proud blue and it's days like this that make it all worth while. Add one or two more quality players to that squad and who knows?

What a fantastic result today. Congratulations to the whole team who put in a really solid performance of teamwork and composure.
Also, i was made up by the attitude of Rom today. When young Lookman was about to come on, Rom was straight over to the sidelines and looked to be giving him a warm welcome, and when he scored, Rom seemed genuinely pleased for the lad, really congratulating him. Has he taken him under his wing so to say. Anyway, i thought i would bring this up because he doesn't always seem keen to work for the team but this was especially praise worthy.

How about this for a theory or off the grid thought. Our fortunes under Moyes lost direction once Irvine left to try Management and he (Moyes) brought Steve Round in. Irvine for me was always a 2IC, about the same as I view Martinez (a good coach that needs an overseer) , Steve Round a typical looks good on paper coach. Look how it turned out for all of them.

There is no way this fella could have been playing football and picked as player of the year in Russia, it just defies belief.
