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.
My brother text me about 30 mins in saying I think he's maybe a bit S**t, I say yep does seem that way. Next message was a laughing emoji after he scored. :Funny:
He's got some pretty elite competition though, don't think it's a foregone conclusion he's the starter just because he was the first one in the door.
