Anderson and Lanzini playing well together already.

Add in Nasri and Arnie and I’ll be drooling over their play!

Vorselaarhammer

Lanzini makes the ball tick..

Some lovely stuff by the boys in that half..

BBC commentary: “lets see how Longstaff does compared to Rice”

1-0 Rice scores

Longstaff got a Yellow Card.

Plus the ref said he has to write 100 lines 'Declan Rice is better than me.'

Diop is a beast. Brilliant tackle to stop a shot at goal

I'm worried a big team will be in for him in the summer ;whistle

Bazshuayi

Had we had Lanzini all season, we would have a lot more points, IMO.

Love his budding bromance with Felipe. Slightly lacking composure when he gets to the box, but that's to be expected.

I'd like to see Arnie fairly early. I do think Hernandez has tried, but he offers very little outside the box. We've had a lot of great build-up which falls flat because nothing is being offered from the striker.

And Rice and Diop ;bowdown

I think we might need a third.

thorn

Of course you do. ;wink

Thought that half went about as well as we could have hoped. Newcastle will have to come at us, and once Arnie is on, they will be vulnerable to our counterattack.

thornburyiron

I was joking Grey or at least I hope I am.

Bazshuayi

Theres no getting away from the obvious. Arnie is much more of a presence physically and in terms of being mobile His link up play and skill level is higher and he's both an assister and scorer. Hernadez just hasn't got anything like the array of things Arnie has and, despite being a famous poacher, hes (IMO) looking a bit past it in that area too

#bye at the end of the season

grey_til_I_dye

Me too, thorn!

OldCastleSwift

I actually do think we need a third ;biggrin

OldCastleSwift

Because we're prone to defending like that ;doh

I laughed... Looks like Im the only one so far who did think you were joking ;lol

Kiss of death but we will NOT be needing a third (despite actually getting a third)

OldCastleSwift

Snodgrass in acres but neither Lanzini nor Hernandez could find him

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Great energy and pace from Fredericks

Bit too much for Hernandez to turn it in

OldCastleSwift

Masuaku has actually played very well since coming on

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

Get Arnie on, please. And/or Nasri.

Bazshuayi

#Chich-Eeyore-ito (possibly my fantasy handle for next season)

OldCastleSwift

Arnie coming on for Hernandez

OldCastleSwift

Lanzini with the rabona.

Probably not advisable having suffered an ACL ;sofa

OldCastleSwift

Masuaku defending well with his face

alderz

Get Antonio on to drive at them a bit

OldCastleSwift

Obiang coming on for Noble.

Conservative.

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

This hasn't been amazing. First half was good, but we've done hardly anything this half.

OldCastleSwift

Great challenge by Ogbonna ;clap

Sometimes...it's pays to just enjoy yourself

We are comfortably winning 2-0, who cares if we haven't had a great 2nd half, just being in this position is amazing enough

So smile coyi

OldCastleSwift

We keep taking the wrong decision in the final third. Could have buried this game if we got it right
