I get the feeling Miguel might be in goal after the break. Or he will at least be no 1 by November.

Good few weeks for the newbies to impress

There’s lots of inaccuracies here. 

Firstly, great is a stretch. He’s doing certain aspects to a good standard and you’ve highlighted those with his stats elsewhere but that is the not the complete remit of someone in his position and so far this season he has been beaten, one on one, too often for someone in his position. 

Secondly the suggestion that he does, or tries to, pass the ball forward every time he gets the ball is an utter fallacy, the stats don’t back this up. 

Interesting that you highlight Yates in comparison because when he came on for Danilo against Bournemouth he was by far our most progressive midfielder in terms of both ball carrying and forward passes. A fact you seem to have omitted.

Agreed on all of this. I think the point about him getting beaten is what was worrying me the most. It just looked so easy, often and this was against Wolves. The fact he has been subbed early is a bad sign, I understand sticking with him but the signs are definitely not pointing in the right direction.

Yeah, but the one that when through Sels' legs may not have got a touch and slowed down, hypothetically speaking.

Yeah, I guess… but then he did get low and wide to save with his legs in the 1v1 with Tonali in the cup to keep us in it.
Doesn’t really matter but if he’s settling in I also expect him to be starting soon.
