He provided the leadership we have been so lacking.

His will to win is second to none, and as others have said that inspires those around him. For me one of the first team picks for the rest of the season.

Is he ok or injured? I think it was clear to see the drop off when Akanji came on. Fingers crossed he is fit and ready for the rest of the season.

We’re a better team with him in the side. He loves a challenge which sets the tone for the rest of the team. If you got players like Dias who are willing to put their body on the line, it rubs off on the others.

I celebrated that tackle today like a goal. It’s the first time I’ve seen one of our players do anything like that in months.

You know Rico wouldn’t have been picked on as much and I’m pretty certain, put in the same situation as Akanji vs Rashford in the derby, we wouldn’t have had an offside debate.

Welcome back Father, how we’ve missed you.

Welcome back Father, how we’ve missed you.

Indeed! he's a leader and he slotted straight back in, him alongside Laporte and we look a lot more solid at the back. The team just seemed to have more confidence today.
I hope he can play on Wednesday.

I said at halftime I'd take him off for akanji given he was on a yellow and our defensive options are light to say the least. I'm almost certain this is what happened, think we would have heard by now if it was anything but that.

Absolutely love Ruben and what a difference he made coming back in! Same again against the Arse please Pep

Pep said in a post match interview that he took him off because of his yellow card, as he didn't want him to get suspended and lose the Arsenal match. So it was purely tactical. i agree, clear drop off without him today. He has to start every game
