Wilo was an absolute G last night. He’s such a menace to attackers. Not saying it was the perfect performance but to me it was an exhibition of some of the fundamentals of how we want to play. Cough up the ball, force them to clear it long to Big Wilo who just says ‘nah bro, not today’. Then we build again. 0 shots by them.until the 96th minute. They were putrid, don’t get me wrong, but was a fun performance.

We all know we haven’t been our sparkling best so far. But right now I’m just thinking how incredible it is to go from having a team with Sok, Torreira, Pepe and Willian to Saliba, Rice, Saka and Marti, all of whom are in the conversation for best in their position, in the league at least.

Not the best opponent for him, but last night is why uf ypu forced me to pick one of our players to win a balon d’or, it would be Marti. He’s electric. If he finds that le cut inside, or better still, actually moves to cf and finds consistent finishing, it’s over.
