....it’s good to see Brands/Silva’s requirement for ‘ball carrying’ midfielders being realised, just a pity Gbamin hasn’t been seen. Finally we appear to have a transfer strategy. Buying players to fit the way you want to play rather than just buying players.

When you look we have Gbamin and Delph to come back into the centre options...you suddenly see good strength in depth in that centra area. Davies could take shone shifting though....if he keeps this up.

He was excellent.

It also helped having the players he did either side of him too.

Support and runners from midfield - Walcott keeping the width and Sidibe offering another option.

The main thing was Richarlison. His runs opened up so much space.
Yes, can't help but think Gylfi would have had a better game today given the runs from Richy, Bernard and Walcott

I'm not arguing Gylfi should have started, he shouldn't. We needed to switch it up and Iwobi played well and going forward I have no issue with him playing there if we play 4-2-3-1. But Gylfi not being in wasn't the only reason, is all.

His missed that guilt edge chance which overshadowed an excellent showing.

But if Iwobi can run the show for 75 - 80 minutes and then Sigurdsson can come on and score the goals that is a potent threat.
 

I hope he keeps his place and that miss doesn't dent his confidence too much. There will be Sigurdsson fans saying that he has more end product but sometimes it's about what benefits the team. With Iwobi at 10 the front 4 can be more fluent so makes them more difficult to mark. Sigurdsson could make a good sub to bring on when we need something different.
 
Was important to how we played yesterday we finally had runners yesterday, everything didnt come off but he was constantly involved,
Plus is a great option to bring sigs ok off the bench which will motivate him to get back into the team
