Not physical enough to do anything but the job he has now though. I dont think you can play him deeper regularly at least.

He seems to get into good positions consistently and has been a reliable goal scorer (outside of today).

I dont like how Moyes never takes him off (likely related to him being a big contributor of goals) and he has matches where he is totally bullied out of the game.

I like him, but I think next season we need to be able to rotate him depending on opponents, I think we’d all like to see Grealish in the 10 too. I think with a fully functioning squad we’ll see him rotated more.

Nah he's a lynchpin in the team, has a couple of bad games in him but get the right players either side of him and he's sound

I think he’s a mid table midfielder, as is Garner.

Gana was a top 6 player, but he’s understandably on the wane a bit.

I think Iroegbunam has a few attributes of a top 6 player already.

But that back 4 (with job at rb) is bottom-half at best, so I hope we prioritise trying to rebuild that defence before upgrading anything else, including the striker department.

Agreed.

Out of all the midfielders we have we should be able to find a combinations(s) that improves across a season, taking into account opposition and home/away. That's assuming Gana and McNeil go and we can bring in at least one other with more pace/creativity/goal threat.

He’s about the same height as Inchy

Could have well took this ages ago , New kits come out and then he changes. Meh. We haven't had a no8 for 2 seasons

The proportions seem off on that number to letter ratio. That 8 looks enormous.

The number is the correct size, they've just had to use tiny lettering because he's so damned small.

What a player this lad is. Feel like 10 minutes before his goal that he decided he was going to make a difference. Quality.

Best player on the park today by miles.

He’s great.

Be screwed without him.

Most effective player we have had in a long time.

Spends long periods doing very little then pops up with a goal or a chance.

Can’t knock his goal output but I don’t think he is good enough to never be substituted/rotated, now we have depth in the middle.

Do we need him to do much more than score and or create chances?

One of the few that can consistently do that for us.
