i was really hoping we wouldn't be their first home game back in the big time after the atrocity at Forest last season, but we handled it well and over the course of the game we were the better side, despite the late scare and VAR oversight for that possible penalty. If there's one criticism its that we have to put games like that against a poor side to bed sooner and not leave ourselves open to the sucker punch.
All is well tho, the result is what matters and we can go into the city and dippers games worry free, in form and with some real hope of getting something from them.

Not willing to pay to buy a striker is criminal. They bought good players in, Alvarez and JWP both excellent and maybe Kudus will be a revelation. But Antonio's hamstrings are one twang away from us not having a striker up front. Shame as the other incoming have been excellent.

I don't have an issue with Soucek getting the nod over benrhama especially against man City. I think paquets did a better job on the left. If kudus is half the player he's made out to be, I'd like to see him although I don't think he plays on the left.

I'm saving that for after the inevitable victory against Man City.

Good win at a potential banana skin (first home game blah blah)
Comfortably the better team although there were moments of trouble- mainly caused by them having some absolute bruisers.
Areola still worries me. Not convincing at all with crosses/corners and command of the box. I’ve had this criticism of him from the first EL game I saw him in for us. Good otherwise but there’s a rickett waiting in there.
Can’t complain too much as we were by far the better team. Just need to be wary that any team no matter how poor can steal points from you if you’re not careful or switch off, or have an individual error even if you’re well on top. Good lesson after being the underdogs in two games and having those EL games on the horizon.
Alvarez looks like he’s going to be very good. Paqueta was excellent. I also like the combo of him Emerson and Benrahma. It’s clearly somethjng Paqueta likes as well. I actually thought JWP was a little quiet but still what a tidy bit of business and another assist.
Dare is say Declan ‘who?’ just yet?

He was always going to play Soucek against Man City. He will also play Alvarez and drop Benny...

Looking at the early posts are hilarious usual doomcasts about how we usually lose to bottom sides. I was worried about this one but loved how we dealt with it. We have a good side here

Where did you see this interview with Moyes Zoso?
I have listened to 4 interviews with him and in every one he is full of praise for Alvarez and JWP, not one mention of any slight disappointment.
If you could let me know I can then listen to it 👍

Without checking the BBC website I’ll predict that 2 of the top stories are about Spanish people being upset about a kiss and an alleged rapist joining a Spanish side.
Oh the irony.

Isn't it part of a new pattern and trend where we see 8'ers capable of picking out brillant passes (with quite a few mistakes) but also put in a good fight? They are different to Gerrard and Lampard.
Bellingham, Tonali, Kimmich, Barella, Paquetá etc.
Oh, Álvarez is a beast. Fantastic signing.

I thought Alvarez did well, and the midfield three were an improvement on the lumbering Soucek.
Moyes didn’t though and took it upon himself to point it out
'You have to deal with the balls up and the knock-downs and I think we missed Tomáš Souček for his stature.’
So, straight back in next game then and leave out one of the new boys, so predictable and lame.

Benrahma is hugely frustrating.
Fantastic at Brighton last week but no end product yesterday.
Having said that, the combination of him, Paqueta and Emerson is often our best route to creating something.
