    Not as easy a match as the result suggests. But still a good showing in the end.

    I’m so happy to see Gyokeres get some goals. Truth be told it wasn’t an easy one for anyone to score in. But he took his efforts really well. Great instinctive punt while under pressure on the first, and good positioning to make the second one a fairly easy tap-in. He’s now our top scorer in the league! And while he’s not setting the PL on fire, he’s doing pretty well considering he’s still new to the team and making a big step up coming from Portugal.

    Saliba did very well containing Brobbey. Silly conceding that yellow card, but he made several critical interceptions.

    Lovely goal from Zubi. He, Rice and Havertz did well in midfield, especially him and Rice.

    I hope Trossard is okay. He had an excellent game. Probably his best for us in a while.

      Yeah very slick performance from Gyokeres.

      If he and Jesus wish to rotate class performances I’m good with that.

      I’m personally really happy with gyo. I need to see more of it before I’ll be content with him being a nailed-on starter but it makes me more comfortable seeing him come off the bench. Still can’t forget how he got the ball in the dying minutes against man u and put it out for a throw-in on the other side of the field though.

      Havertz might be really good for him to play alongside though so I am excited to see more from those two.
