I didn’t see the game but two of you have given Winks 4 and other people I’m listening to have him as MOTM!

Winks was subbed off for being awful so obviously not MOTM

Son has scored/assisted 7 goals in the last 2 games, but somehow I can't quite bring myself to give him MOTM for either game. Deserves MOTW though.
I'm going for Ndombele tonight. I'd say completing 90 minutes without fading was as important as the quality of his performance. By Christmas, everyone will be pretending they never wanted to offload him to the highest bidder (for a fraction of his value).
Lamela had a good game. If it wasn't for Bale, I wouldn't have been shocked to see him force his way back into the starting XI, ahead of Moura & Bergwijn.
Positive performance from Aurier too - especially considering being displaced as first choice can't have been great for morale.
Dele showed good movement and vision at times, but it still feels like nothing is quite going for him.
Week?What os MOTW? Im wracking my brains here
Summed it up perfectlyLamela for me. Can we stop criticising him now? He's a really excellent squad player to have.
Ndombele first half was out of puff again. Incredibly, in the second he found some and was pretty damned good. He almost looked like a fit footballer, almost. But we got a real taste of how good he can be.
Aurier had a really good game. If he played like that consistently we wouldn't have needed Doherty. He put in two phenomenal crosses in succession.
Son is in a rich vein of form and continued tonight. He is razor-sharp right now.
Lo Celso, as we know, is a classy player. Him and Kane came on and changed the game.
Dele worked hard, should have scored. But I've just forgotten what he brings to us. It's such a long time since he was good and I don't know what his role is.
Hart had nothing to do and had no chance with the goal.
The rest were pretty average with Davies and Winks poor.
We are strange to watch at the moment, I can't work out where we are at.
Week?
Sorry, Man of the Week. Not sure why I didn't type it out in full...especially after moaning to colleagues about acronyms earlier today haha!What os MOTW? Im wracking my brains here

You just do not like him do you?It's unfortunate that his crossing is so inconsistent. Last season something like 80% of them were misplaced / blocked (someone posted stats on here during preseason).
The other problem is that, even when he's having a great game, he always has a mistake in him. He was one of our best players tonight, but almost gifted the opposition a one-on-one scoring opportunity with a sloppy pass inside to the CBs (it was almost as bad as Davies' last week) - fortuantely he got away with it this time.
Ndombele had a reasonable second half. But i dont think it was much to get overly excited about. News flash, professional athlete plays poor first half, better in second and lasts a whole game? Ndombele doesn't do half the work and graft he needs to. I'm sure there is more to come.Only caught the first half. Was pretty laborious. Ndombele must have had a great second half was shocked to see he got motm above son who scored one and assisted 2. Again not seen second half, just commenting on poll results.
That's really not the case. I'm actually in the camp that would like to keep him as back-up (assuming Doherty actually proves to be better) - although I'm not sure that's financially viable. Back in 2018-19 when Trippier was off-form, I was frustrated that Aurier didn't get a proper run of games to earn the starting spot.You just do not like him do you?
