    Not brilliant but much better than he has been. Lovely assist for the first goal.

    Thought it was much better from him today. Mooy was a bit of a bomb scare at times and thought he picked up quite a bit of that slack.

    Thought he was better today, but couldn't replicate Hatate's role. We were so disjointed in midfield, but when he got in the pockets he did well enough.

    His 38 pressures is a major match high btw, Kyogo is next with 29 then Maeda at 25.

    That’s how good he was at that.

    He had a very good game. That was more like him.

    A hugely underrated part of his game. He was far more like himself on Saturday.

    He is at the thick of all of our high presses when he is playing. He is really clever positionally which unfortunately seems to go unnoticed by a lot.

    On a day when we had quite a few players playing below par O'Riley who himself has been below par in recent weeks looked much more like himself and I thought he had a good game and was one of our better players on the day. So hopefully he can build on that for the run in and we see the best of O'Riley in the up coming weeks.

    He’s been inconsistent this season but that’s expected - he still only 22.

    I was calling for him to come off at halftime but he was excellent second half. It’s a tough role in our midfield too.

    I hope he can have a strong finish to this season.

    Thought first half he was better than 2nd as well. Funny what people see.

    Defensively he's been sound all season tbf. Its just other parts of his game we know he can offer much more....even though he's still got a shitload of assists lol

    I've just gone right off him for ages now and it probably is blinkering my opinion on him..

    Want better in during the summer..

    Looked confident, two cracking finishes and some sharp passing today.

    Much, much better..

    His movement and passing in general. Plus getting numbers again in the final third..

    More like it. He should be flying and if he produces next week against Motherwell, likely nails the spot for the semi..
