Man of the match I reckon. Plays and looks a lot like Dembele, although apparently with a better shot.

cant remember the last time we successfully brought an academy player through to EPL level although he would have to produce a few more of those games to say that he has made it as an EPL player

we may not see too much of him when Sandro and Paulinho are back

Is Kyle Walker always that bad fellas? Bloke looks like he has the biggest chip on his shoulder. I've seen him do some good things in game for you lot, but gee he can be dog ordinary as well. Was given an absolute bath overnight .

he was injured early and went off at half time, he has actually been surprisingly good in games leading up to this one

he is very attacking but his crosses are pretty ordinary but in the last month or so he has been hitting his targets which is a huge improvement from him

he's still a work in progress and PSG have submitted a bid for him in this current transfer window but he aint for sale

Yeah read there was interest from PSG. Blokes got obvious talent just seems to drop his bundle pretty quick. Guessing injury played a big part in the terrible first half I saw. Looks the sorta player who needs a rocket every now and then to keep his head sorted.

Also his palace opponent was different to a normal premier league winger, very powerful and physical as opposed to the majority of wingers that use speed and run directly at wing backs

All I've read about lately is Sherwood wanting to "trim" the squad. It seems like an ok idea at the moment because we've only been playing one game per week for a while. Soon the europa league comes back and we will be playing three games a week. That depth will be invaluable then.

The only player I would consider selling is siggy (bit sad, because I like him),

This situation was always going to come up when we got knocked out of the league cup. It was pretty important we stayed in that to ensure our whole squad gets game time. I think avb understood that and took those cups very seriously. Hopefully we can go far in the europa

Europa is probably the weakest its been for years but we still need depth.

15 out of our 25 man squad are mid fielders so that is TS's point, the squad is unbalanced. HE wants to shore up the defence and obviously a decent striker wouldn't hurt.

Another hangover form the AVB era is our declining home grown numbers so I expect that may have something to do with any movement this TW.

Still undefeated since Sherwood took over and huge improvements by Ade and Ericksen over the past few games.

Interesting.

Played like a man possessed, never seen him play like that before.

Got more mid field possessions than alot of our mid fielders.

Eriksen has been our best player every time he has played this season, regardless of the manager. I still can't fathom why AVB dropped him early in the season in favour of Siggy.

All Adebayor needed was someone to say to him "Hey, you can do it, you can be our leading man". His poor last season started with him not getting a goal early on, then proceeding to lose all confidence he might have had.

Sherwood made a big statement by, in his first game, immediately starting Adebayor who previously looked destined to sit on our reserves. Clearly it was the confidence booster he needed.

Nice to see you guys turning it around.

Laughable the amount of praise that Loserpool were getting earlier in the season and how much s**t was being dumped on you guys. Now you're even on points and you're in way better form.

As long as you don't turn it on for the NLD you've got blessing to keep churning out the W's :)
