Just the one assist actually, but should have had at least one more... great at carrying the ball (playing central suits him far more than out on the wing), unlucky to hit the post, great ball for the assist from him and nearly scores a worldie with his left foot but it smashes off the underside of the bar. Playing in the champions league against Plzen on wednesday and got a Moscow derby against Spartak on the Sunday.

Still only 20 as well, definitely got a future here

Looked to run that game. I'm not surprised by that at all. We saw glimpses of that towards the end of Koeman's reign when he played him a couple of times through the middle. He's never been given an opportunity there since.

If you look back at the time people like myself and @Eggs were saying he needs to be played through the middle because he's the only player we had who can run with the ball from midfield and pick a pass, and that he could become a proper replacement for Ross Barkley in the team. We still don't have that type of player this season (unless either Gomes or Bernard show they have that side to their game).

I'm delighted he's doing well. That's the sort of form that saw him get into the Croatian squad before his career stalled with us and wouldn't be surprised if he's back in their squad to play England in October. He could save us a lot of money in the transfer window next summer.

With him, Okenyuru and Robinson we have some real young talent to come back into the squad next season.

Starts on the left tonight v Plzen.
 


CSKA thought they’d equalised there but it got disallowed, Vlasic created the chance cutting inside this time
One of the worst decisions you will ever see. Clive Thomas level bad. Normal contact and goal, defender writhing in agony after fair challenge. Disallowed.
