It's been a long time since I saw us pinch and break up play like we did. Yes Kante did some but Matic, Oscar and Costa did brilliantly to close down avenues and pinch from nothing.
He did well but I am certainly not getting ahead of myself, we have seen this honeymoon period before with him and others. Needs to convince me and others over a season and not one game.
Nice solid start for the little dynamite. I was furious the ref booked him for the foul on Carroll yet the one on Diego outside the box was allowed to go unpunished.
Fucking get in.
I thought our speed to win the ball back was immense. The ads looked hungry. I'm not saying we were immaculate but overall a very good performance with a lot of positive points.
Sell him, don't keep him- he would fetch about 7M. The loan is pointless because he will never be first choice or close to being picked because of what is ahead of him.
Don't prolong the agony...just sell.
