What I was expecting when he signed - but too late the hero

Was nice to have someone in there who can pass a ball a bit.

Everyone's fave Duracell bunny getting away with murder on the ball all year for me.

Love the swing

Frustrates the crap outta me great on the ball sees the pass can work hard when he wants to and links the play…today being the perfect example. Where’s that player been when we needed him ?
Come on Andre keep turning it on for us you could be the catalyst we need.

As great as our midfielders have been this season, they aren’t really ball players, so he’s got a role to play. I think Dyche has got him fitter then we’ve ever seen him before integrating him, so be an interesting few weeks ahead for him

He is head and shoulders above every midfielder we have based on ability it’s tying actual work onto it is the key

I dont think his workrate is really the problem. He just shouldn't be part of a double pivot. The most advanced of three CMs is where he belongs.

It’s a rare type of footballer that has ‘first game syndrome’ where they play amazing in their first game and then rapidly drop off to nothing. It’s an even rarer player still who has first game syndrome then is out injured for so long that it kicks back in on his return to football with the same club.

Still, found this pic amusing this morning. Some people’s heads will fall off no doubt.

Think it's quite a common effect.

You often find young players play above their level if they're dropped in to a side, adrenaline has them 100% focused and running through brick walls with a bit of impudence on the ball in regards to what they should or shouldn't try. Then before long they find a level.

That's how someone like Brandon what's his name can be a first team right back for a good period at a club like united then before long end up circling the champ.

Long may it continue

The pass to Harrison was truly excellent

Yeah, he was way better than he usually is

That was his role during the one good Valencia season he’s been trading off for basically his entire career.

Use when needed but do not renew his contract under any circumstances.

I know you are not at all a fan but even you must admit that he was excellent on saturday?

Don't disagree with your cmts, to be clear. Absolutely should not be renewing.
