That's a fresh take on ancient history matty. I like that.

well we’re finally letting a manager do his job mate, he’s had to start from scratch with like 5 previous managers players.

he’s building his own team a young team and i’m excited

Well to be fair to Matty , it's a blend of youth and experiece like all decent teams tend to be.

What I do like is that Frank clearly saw enough last season to decide , quite rightly , that in the words of Edwyn Collins it was time to "rip it up and start again" and like all really good teams he has created a sold base with the defence and midfield making us very hard to break down and beat.

Obviously we need a bit more creativity and better striking options that I suspect will come next season when some more high earners are out the door.

At last we have a plan , a plan that is sustainable , and you can see what Frank is trying to achieve .

Fingers crossed this season will be one of consolidation with real progression next season.

Very impressed so far.

Iwobi played well but Idrissa was imperious. So much class.

Gordon deffo off the pace today. Great game from Patterson too.

What's the back story on Calvert lewin... thought he was fit?

 

[brian labone]

For me it was Iwobi and not just for today, I know the season is very new at the moment but for me he is proving to be a top-class player.

 

[Runub]

What's the back story on Calvert lewin... thought he was fit?

Don’t know but I suspect that the international break and more recovery time will have something to do with it

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Nate Dogg for me. Shaky first few minutes but otherwise had a great game. That tackle on Cornet is as good as a goal.

 

[Tommy Chong]

I don't know what's gotten into Wob's this season...

A new bird, jazzercising, a life coach, yoga, whatever!

Keep it up son!

What's the back story on Calvert lewin... thought he was fit?

Probably ease him back to full fitness rather than rush him back just for him to break down again.

The colosseum anyway

 

[Librarian]

My vote goes for Gana. He was immense today. It was completely different midfield that not only wasn' t overrun but dominated possession for big parts of the game.
Great game for Iwobi, Gray, Tarkowski, Coady and Patterson too.

Game changer
