Tielemans has to be one of the best if not the best central midfielder in the premier league, he just oozes pure class.Onana, Tielemans and Kamara are possibly the best three out there at the moment. Ollie is so so disappointing, he is no where the player of the last two seasons, Emery is obviously persevering with him hoping fortunes will change, unfortunately not sure it's going to happen based on the last couple of months.
I would imagine we could pick up a class striker in January and use the Elliott money if and when we dip him.

Absolutely great run of results and long may it continue. My only concern at the moment is the situation regarding Emi Martinez. He is vital to us at the moment but I sense he may be angling for a move in January. He has started missing games with “a back injury “ and has reportedly let it be known in the media that he is open to a move to Saudi Arabia in the best interest of his family’s financial future.
As others have commented, Bizot has been less than impressive recently and I just hope that if Emi does go, the powers that be have a capable replacement lined up.
Only time will tell whether this is a genuine concern or pure conjecture on my behalf. 🤞🙏

I tend to agree re Martinez particularly as we are still in danger of breaching squad ratio costs which if right means we need to offload one or two of our big money earners to bring us into line .
Martinez would be one of the more obvious candidates because of his age and the fact there is interest but to my mind that would be a mistake given where we are and the contribution he has made getting us there.

The good thing about the run we are on is we are winning all sorts of games, ones where we are great from start to finish a la Bournemouth, games where teams ask us to wear them down like Wolves or games when we fall behind like today and at Brighton. Irrespective of our start it's been superb season Emery continues to get the best out of his players, his substitutions have been fantastic and in most cases game changing and we have shown with the squad we have we can win in Europe and in the subsequent PL game.
The pundits seem to think we can't win the Premiership and whilst they may very well be right, if we keep Martinez, add a quality centre forward plus a quick winger in January then I think if we can't win it we can certainly run the Cities and Arsenal's of this world close. I may be biased but given the tools he initially had to work with and the rapid progress made in Emery we have the best manager in the Premier League. UTV

Good post Lotm, think we have our winger with the guy we signed the other day, we definitely need a striker, don’t know what has happened Watkins he works so hard off the ball then when he gets it he’s got no idea what to do, every other player we have will shoot when they get a chance except our striker, it’s mind boggling.
I can’t speak for anyone else but as soon as Roger’s got that ball today in the space he had I knew he was going to bury it, you can’t give him that much space and expect nothing to happen.
starting to worry about Bizot also, he looked very shaky today.
mediocre performance but enough to see them off, great result, great to keep up with the top 2 and keep the distance to those behind. I do expect a much better performance next weekend I think we will be well up for it!
and some of the teams close behind us are going to drop points so if we can win it will be huge in terms of top 4 credentials

Lotm with our upcoming games, those 3 points today, could end up very useful UTV

I agree re Bizot I was concerned against Basel when he bottled coming for a ball which ended up in our net but was subsequently disallowed and the way a small guy like Summerville bullied him on a couple of corners yesterday was poor, that’s why it’s critical in my mind we keep Martinez until the summer at least.

Great result another 3 points what a strike from Morgan! Had to look away everytime they got a corner not convincing from Bizot. Hopefully we can keep this going but what a run we are on

Some games Rogers is so frustrating, but when he's on it he's brilliant . Two great goals, just imagine how good he can get . Felt sorry for Ollie, great run and brilliant pass by Ginny, but flicked in off defender . We had to work so hard for that, after two completely stupid cock ups by Konsa .
Fantastic player but has this casual streak, that at times appears to be arrogance, seems to have got worse since his England call ups . What a run we are on, it's like dreamland at the moment, got to keep it going .UTV

As a PS just how good was Lidahoff today, defensively and also going forward . Said on Thursday, he been a good squad player signing .UTV

A wins a win even though we were not at our best, I found it a hard watch at times.Just hope our Bogey side don't spoil our run next Sunday.

Bizot becoming more like Olson with every game constantly flapping and conceding 2+ goals every game we can't afford to loose Martinez
