Veliz showed a lot of energy and fight when he came on. Did really well in his few minutes.Veliz was great when he came on.
Aerially a beast with good movement

Romero’s growth this season from a yellow card waiting to happen to a calm and considered player has been such an important part of our overall improvementActually some very mature performances out there for us today, Vicario, Romero, VDV, Kulu..
Last 20 minutes really. From the moment Emerson and Skipp came on and we went 3 at the back we took control of the game. Very niceHave to say we've actually managed the last 10mins very well under the circumstances
he had a Jekyl and Hyde performance. in a 1-0 game, you can't pass to the other team in the transition to the middle third giving them an attack with numerical advantage while everyone tries to catch up to the play. Brilliant moments for sure but some dismal moments tooI did not understand why nobody else saw this. He was our most complete CM all match. Great all-around game from him.
Ended with 2 tackles, 3 interceptions, 3 successful dribbles - and just bags of energy when we needed it.
ETA - and 3 Key Passes
Yeah but they didn't, that's my point. It'll come in time but Ange himself just said we haven't won a game comfortably this season yet.Richarlison scores his two chances, Porro too and that is a very comfortable game.
But you have to see the big picture - you can't pin point a few wayward passes and decide he played poorly.he had a Jekyl and Hyde performance. in a 1-0 game, you can't pass to the other team in the transition to the middle third giving them an attack with numerical advantage while everyone tries to catch up to the play.

Feels like a massive result for me mentally let alone the players. Mickey, what more can you say! Thought Kulu was great that second half too. Such an engine. Football is about moments that are usually spectacular but when he was all on his own up there and had the courage to trust himself and keep the ball and lay it off was a moment for me. Not spectacular but was in its own way. He’s got his faults but what an engine. Loved it.Feels like a massive result mentally for the club. can drink that in over the international break.
It's like he knows what he's doingFair play these changes have calmed things down a tad. We look more solid.
It’s all about the mix on the pitch. Yes, we could swap out Deki for a quicker player, but you lose something else. Same with Richy, easy to say we need a more clinical player, but he brings other stuff. I like what I saw from Veliz, but I’m not ready to drop Son just yet, for all his limitations.Kulu really took responsibility today. Impressive. Not just a good player but intelligent and mentally strong. Ran all day too.
