He was the player I was most excited we signed. After a rocky start to his tenure here he quickly stated showing his quality. Hoping to see a few more screamers which he used to do regularly for Leicester, but he is clearly absolutely class. Great vision, passing and has the perfect weight of a pass. Integral for us. Keen to see more of him next season.

I was so excited when we signed Youri and games like last night show his absolute class and ability. Needs a run of games without injuries to find some rhythm and momentum as that’s where he’s struggled. But as others have said, his vision, sense of space and weight of passing is fantastic. Think Watkins could really thrive off having him in the side.

No VAR is bad for us. Our whole defensive set up through the high line requires VAR to confirm the offside traps we play for.

“Basically full strength”

Starting to show his quality. Was our best player overall tonight and continually drove us forward. I gave MOTM to Luiz as he made a huge difference but Tielemans is such a good asset for us.

He has a great knack of timing his tracked back last ditch challenges absolutely spot on. Love to see it.

Doesn’t score. Doesn’t assist. Gives the ball away far too much.

100% and it shows so much. We miss him dropping to collect the ball and dragging opposition players out in the process, then finding Watkins or the wide forwards with a pass through the lines. His strength and aggression and overall combativeness and competitiveness is missing. I imagine a player like Diaby would benefit from Beundia.

Which channel? Looks like Sky are showing Palace v Wolves?

Was he signed in time to play tomorrow?

omeletting you off for that one

Think this is indicative of how he’s perceived by some. A lot of his good work goes unnoticed, as people only look at goals and assists. He creates plenty of chances that aren’t converted. It’s much more worrying to have a play making midfielder who doesn’t create, Emi does. I think he is guilty of having his weak spots are more easily seen than his strengths. The throwing up of his hands in the air when he doesn’t get a foul, him giving the ball away when trying too hard etc. but we’ll miss him a lot. He finds gaps, always moving, always hungry for the ball and has a lovely touch and great vision and can score. He’s also good defensively for us through his tenacity. All traits not easy to replace especially with the likes of Bailey who is woeful. Critically, we’ve lost quality squad depth losing Buendia and subsequently lost a strong option for Unai to use across the front line. His injury, along with Mings, is a huge dampener to not only the optimism within the club, but the momentum and cohesion built since Emery arrived. Could take a fair while to get us all gelling again.

Happens all the time mate. Keep your pecker up.

It's naughty and I like it.

Really love our Winnie the Boo. Such a player.
