Not exactly what we need. Could be worse, Murillo doesn’t seem to be on their radar yet.
I’m pretty sure we haven’t allowed Danilo to go.
I doubt Danilo will be allowed to go if we have any say. He is starting to grow into his role (albeit he needs to recover his quality on the ball a bit) and will with time be massive for us, just as Murillo will.
That said, both had stinkers yesterday, but most did.
I'm so confident we will be in FA Cup final that today I stopped my Mrs booking Fri May 24th or Sat May 25th departure for a weeks sunshine-delayed it until 26th. Deluded me? Just a feeling I can't shake....

Dominguez getting back to his best.
Murillo I prefer to talk about all the things he does so well instead of one or two mistakes. His class is there for everyone to see but he's just a young boy and learning his job in the toughest league in the world.
Danilo still not the player of last season but I think it will come with more game time. Like Murillo still very young and still learning in the toughest of leagues.

For a lad of 20 thought he not only showed good touches but he put himself about against a fairly physical L1 side. Think thats what impressed me more. Has a real chance now due to injuries, would like to see him on the right cutting in.

I’ve seen Christine twice now and both times he has really impressed me. Has a good touch, is pretty strong and has a good cross / pass on him. Loved the way he had a go from his own half when the keeper was up from the corner. Looks forward in everything he does. He is not a winger and probably an 8 but I’d give him a go in the 10 if MGW is injured.

I was crossing everything for that hit and hope to be on target

So looks like Montiel will be staying now because of Nuno.
I am happy with that.

Bloke cannot defend.
Watch him properly, his movement and positioning, not just whether he puts tackles in.

I think I will back Nuno’s judgement !
He has played very well since Nuno bought him back into the side at Newcastle.
Him and Aina our best 2 options currently for the full back positions

Just my opinion, not saying I know better than Nuno.
Think he gets done for pace, Lewis Potter all over him on Saturday and he is far from the best winger in the PL.
Then he goes wandering up the pitch and gets caught when we lose possession and Centre back gets dragged out of position to cover him.
All of this has happened repeatedly whether we concede from those chances or not. Like I say have a look at what he does properly.
