Milenkovic absolutely owned their number 9 who I could see being half decent after he has bedded in. Aina totally locked down their left channel too- his defending yesterday was very impressive whilst Neco again put in an immense shift- supporting and underlapping/ overlapping CHO constantly - he also took a card for the team on Sharde. It was as complete a 45 minutes of football that I have seen from us for a long time - even more impressive than the destruction of Brighton last year.
The one touch football around the box was superb.
Dan Ndoye- an intelligent footballer and great goal. I don’t think he trusts himself yet - he had a number of opportunities to have a go at his fullback and seemed to not give 100% in his running. Maybe he is just more of a footballer than Elanga and has had keeping the ball drummed into him from his other experiences. I also think he’d prefer to play on the left.
CHO was good too.
However, wood - what a finisher! He was excellent all match and his hold up play was great. He gives us so much. Bargain of the century and his numbers are really elite in world football.
Brentford- so poor but I think we were bloody good. Take that you xG weirdos. I can’t stand that Thomas Frank and Andrew’s is just as unlikeable - he hated us on co-comms in the championship. But I actually felt sorry for him yesterday - as he tried to give instructions. Almost!
Ndoye I thought was just a little off the prem pace. You can see he's talented. When he works out the speed of the english game he'll be top drawer.
