That was one of the moments where the commentators on Prime were just relishing the fact that they get to watch such joyously brilliant football. 

I like the Prime commentators. McCoist is quality. Comes across as somebody who genuinely loves what he’s seeing. 
 

A welcome change from the analytical commentary Sky & BT provides these days.

Not if we want to play with high press and our defenders on the halfway line you couldn't. Watching him running towards his own goal chasing the likes of Traore, Son, Aubameyang and every other quick, counterattacking forward in thr PL would grow old pretty quickly.

 

Immense player, and him getting back to CM will give us much more control in the middle, especially in the away games.

 

He won't be chasing them when he nips in, gets the ball, and fucks off

[VladimirIlyich]

Fabinho is ace. No coincidence that he was the first signing after the Kiev debacle and what a difference since then.

Traore just played against us and got nothing. 
 

Vardy just played against us and got nothing. 
 

Werner played directly against Fabinho and got nothing. 

I forgot...

 

Lewendowski played against us and got nothing.

His versatility is a huge bonus. I’m looking forward to the machine we can become with him and Thiago in the midfield, in front of Virg and Matip.

100th game for us today, £39 Million and cheap at twice the price.

See you back in here in 3 weeks when Vardy(who is back just in time) injures him a week before Leipzeig and Everton.

[No2]

What a player this lad is. 

[an tha]

A monster in middle of park.

 

Leave him there.

 

Get some proper centre half cover in summer and never pull the lad out of the midfield again.

[VladimirIlyich]

He was great but I'd have Gini MoM myself. And what a difference when Thiago can play alongside two quality players for a change. Good call by Kloppo tonight.

[ZonkoVille77]

Stupidity moving him out of midfield with actual CBs available but it's done now so let's not move him to CB for the foreseeable future.

Yep, monster ,great performance tonight, also he allowed Thiago and Widj to play.

[J-V]

We dropped a nut leaving him in defence as long as we did.

Huge mistake in hindsight

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

What a player.

[Tj hooker]

Midfield looked like a proper functioning midfield with him doing what he does best , don't wanna see him in the back four again .

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

Brilliant performance, man of the match closely followed by Thiago and Wijnaldum. 
 

Probably a lot to do with balance as well, those three fit very well together. I think other combos could work well also, the key is probably Fabinho in the DM position.

[Ant 2 Threads]

If we can keep these players fit and in position, string a couple of results together, then those lighter evenings are coming. In all respects. Literally and metaphorically.

Nice to escape the grim today. Happy for us all.
