I’m not really sure why people have brought dele and eriksen into this. For me neither are really midfielders however both can do a job there. My whole point was if Winks is going to play the more advanced in a 2 it would be nice if he could contribute some goals. We actually saw it on Saturday, he got in some very good positions but then seemed to check back or pass sideways on edge of box. I think on the whole he has looked great since coming back. But why limit his potential, I see no reason he shouldn’t start thinking about adding goals to his game. I get a bit sick of people pigeon holing players that they can only do this much and that’s ok and acceptable. Whatever happened to all round midfielders like Robson or souness.

He's going to become one very high commodity if he steers clear of injuries. Unless 2016/17 Wanyama is ever returning he will need another beast next to him

So pleased with Winks' cameo today and his recent performances, starting to get back to what we all know he could do. Let's hope this is helping him building confidence and get him starting regularly for the first team. As he is now, he should be one of the starters, but he will only go on and improve, we will just have to accept he will have his ups and downs, but try and remember at the time what he is capable of doing and not get onto him.
Really look forward to him performing for the first team how he did with the youth teams and start taking more controlling and creating more of an impression on the game. He needs to realise he is good enough and I think he will be fine.

As said definitely has to start. Question is with who and in which formation. A 3 may suit him better but I’m really not sure. And if it’s a 2 is he the deeper or more advanced. Would love to see him the deeper in a 2 would be brave. But would add so much to us creativity as opposed to dier.

We needed the Dier/Dembele combo to start v City, much as I'm not a fan. They couldn't bull us like they often do. Winks cameo was great to see, but the game had opened right up by then and he had the space to do his thing.

Think he’s filled out a lot the last 12 months. Looks bigger and stronger

Bet he wouldn’t have been so nice about him had they not won
If we had won and Kane had scored, he would have said that they were beaten by the team of two Harrys.

Never had any doubts about Winks, always knew he'd get back to his best and that's starting to happen now. Last 20 vs Barca and his 20 min cameo last night are evidence of that.
He's gonna be one of our most important players once he gets a regular place back in the first 11.
