Arguably our best performance of the season thus far given the opposition, which have made things very difficult for other “big” teams since being promoted. Reckon they are a better team overall than all but us, Arse, and Villa at the moment. They deserve a lot of credit for where they are, even after their loss today.
I think most of our lads played well, but special mention to O’Reilly, Doku, Phil, Donnarumma, and, of course, my MOTM, Cherki.
I shared this in the match thread: When we were rumoured to be in for Reijnders and Cherki, almost all of my mates were very excited about the Dutchman, but I said that I thought Cherki was the real potential star people pay to see.
Nothing against Reijnders, who I think will come good for us, but Cherki has the potential to be our new Kev. Not a direct replacement by any means, but the sort of player that can breakdown stubborn defences we most often face and chip in with opposition morale-destroying assists and goals that swing momentum in matches.
Really looking forward to how Pep molds him over the coming years!
