Nkounkou wow! Not one for the hype train but how did we manage get him in on the cheap? Lad looks class n has a little attitude in him too. Pleased for Kean, Bernard and Iwobi tonight but back to normal for Pickford.

He's our weak link at the moment and I think tonight might be last straw for Carlo. Also, don't understand why bring on Davies if Saints are interested and Walcott is available to come on unless we've had offer for him as well?

Davies was brought on for Delph as a holding midfielder. Walcott is not a holding midfielder, in fact I’m not really sure what he is.

Cornerflag - Marcel Brands. He’s the reason we’ve unearthed the gem Nkounkou.
Totally fits in with the way he does business getting these young players in with the potential to sell on at a profit in the future This is what he was brought in to do and he’s finally being allowed to do it. Hopefully he gets his contract extended.

Totally agree with that sentiment GD, hope we see some more Brands Gems come in and shine
It’s been smart business by the club in my opinion, James, Allan and Doucoure for the here and now, gives us 3 seasons to be bringing in new talent and integrating them into the first team.

I meant bring Walcott on for Ricco instead of Davies on for Delph. The games was won and I woulda protected him from injury and given Delph a full game/ protected Davies from injury with the Soton link.

It was 3-2 at the time, the game was far from won. It was a tactical substitution.

Delph had been out for 7 months. I'm not sure I can remember any player anywhere out for so long to come back 1st game and play 90 mins. Or was that your plan? Hoping to get him back to sickbay? If there is one thing we all know about Rikky, it's that the guy is made of hardened steel. I don't really wince anymore when I see him getting kicked repeatedly. He gets up, gives his death stare and gets ready for the free kick. I'm sure once we get waist deep into the season that subbing players off once games are won will be the norm. It was only the 4th match of the season and one with 1 warm up match? Its still pre season in the fitness race. Won't be full tilt for another week or 2.
