Everyone!!!!!

Notable players of course, but that last 3 games in Europe have been the ultimate team output, not about flash or overcommitting, but about each man running himself into the ground for the cause.
We've looked like a team, and a team that believes.
Contrast that to utd last night, club that wins trophies, the team with players with the experience and know how to get it done.
They never looked like they believed.
 
Romero for me. A captain's performance.

I have a load of time for Johnson on the night. Perhaps he didn't make the goal saving clearance that VDV did but he made critical clearances himself and run himself into the ground. Bents and Biss were awesome as well.
 
I thought Udogie had a huge game. He was everywhere and, more importantly, he was one of the very few players who still had the energy to come forward in the second half. He did very well to set up Solanke for what should have been our second goal and he was defensively sound.

As I watch the game, I couldn't help thinking that Richarlison is now a shadow of the player he was at Everton, but one thing you can't take away from him is his heart. He defended like his life depended on it and left everything on the pitch. It's such a shame his body can't keep up with his head.

And, of course, van de Ven's save was as good as a goal for us, but on the full 90 minutes, I really think Udogie deserves it.

Imagine if he'd taken another two strides and had a crack, instead of playing that brilliant ball to Solanke. He made the correct decision, but he could have had immortality.
 
Richy was a thorn in their side. Bissouma was awesome. Romero did Romero, he needs an enemy every match, and he choose slab head Maguire who bit on the hook so hard and it worked a treat.

Richy gets it for me. We weren't as good when he went off
 
tough call for this match, all the players put in a good shift and did well in the roles assigned (it wasn't the usual angeball!)

for me it was bissouma who seemed to excel in a crowded midfield and putting in a strong challenge or his body on the line when required.
