    Turnbull’s scuff cost him the assist for the 2nd.

    Without trying to be hyperbolic I’d say he’s the best player in the world not to have won a Ballon d’Or.

    True.

    I liked Moi.

    A very good player.

    But I think Jota suits us better.

    I still don't know what Moi's most effective position was.

    I liked Moi too but as a winger he was terrible. A good footballer but incredibly slow and weak. He did have great movement and an eye for goal though. I reckon he's like a second striker in a traditional 442.

    Jota suits the current system better but Elyounoussi had some tremendous performances for us. He was one of few who performed for us last season and if not for him we’d have had an early European exit.

    17 goals and 8 assists last season (one where the general performance level was poor), and 7 goals and 6 assists the season before despite injury keeping him out for ages and only playing 22 games. I think fans don’t recognise how hard he works during games. His assist to Forrest for our first goal in Rome is a decent example of that.

    Totally agree with that. He would have been really good off a main striker. Basically allowed to roam about picking up areas he felt he could hurt teams. Sort of like Stokes did for us when we had him and Hooper up front together.

    What a boost to the whole squad and this rebuild it would be to get Jota signed permanently.

    Don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say he’s better than Mbappe, Neymar and Messi combined.

    Giving someone the last line might be the most generous gift on earth. Even better than giving somebody your last Rolo.
