Was a a absolute machine yesterday. Hassled, harried, ran his heart out, and showed surprising bursts of speed and physicality at times.
I agree with @MKSpur - his passing is just a lot more incisive when he has to quickly spin and play it around a corner. No time for thinking, just instinct. And that was on full display today, alongside defensive tenaciousness and obviously that lung-bursting run to get Zinchenko sent off.
He's my MOTM, no doubt.
YepWas it Winks that for Zinchenko sent off? It looked like him (I was watching it on a phone). The way he took the ball from a poor City corner and ran with it was immense. That red card changed the game obviously. Credit for Jose for taking the handbrake off the bus at that point too.
Double the pleasure.

I’m not sure fans do love him do they? He seems to have become the spacegoat this season.
I don't think fans dont like him, but, he can frustrate at times due to not playing to the level we know he is capable of. He has it in his locker to control the tempo of a game and has done against some of the biggest teams, he has it in his locker to play progressively but opts to play it safe too much. He has the talent and ability to be more then he shows and i think that's what most people pick up on.I’m not sure fans do love him do they? He seems to have become the spacegoat this season.
Definitely been some on here that would rather have seen him launched into space rather than play.I’m not sure fans do love him do they? He seems to have become the spacegoat this season.
It’s a fact that he is the most progressive passer in the league for his age and in the top 3 in EuropeI don't think fans dont like him, but, he can frustrate at times due to not playing to the level we know he is capable of.

I think he has largely been called quite fairly overall but most.... some bad performances and some very good ones.I’m not sure fans do love him do they? He seems to have become the spacegoat this season.
That’s fair enough, but I don’t think anyone could suggest the fans love him by any stretch.I think he has largely been called quite fairly overall but most.... some bad performances and some very good ones.
Agreed. It was a bit of a snapshot of the season that game. We were dysfunctional as a team and Winks struggled to impose himself on the game, apart from some key moments like the pass for the goal and some defensive work.Thought he got better as the game went on, there is no doubt that he is returning to form and that is a good sign for us going forward. He was everywhere and MOM for me.
Helps he is playing with another footballer when playing other Lo CelsoCan barely believe no one has bumped this thread in this long.
Winks deserves so much credit at the moment. Playing every game, so much effort, showing real quality. Seems to really be finding his form again.
