    He is our most direct attacker right now. Looks like our best option through the middle.

    Agree that he looks his least potent on the right ( why I was miffed he was stuck out there early first half ) but as an incoming player - and having played in all 3 positions - I think he has shown the tendency for profligacy that has become the norm in our otherwise spectacular attack.

    I certainly didnt think he was this sort of player. It's been a great start and adds genuine depth to th esquad if he can sustain the performances if not the numbers.

    I didn't know anything about him, whereas I saw Sarr as more of a FSG type buy.

    I wasn't upset when we signed him, more perplexed that it just happened. No fuss.

    No winner, you still get your chicken dinner for now !!

    Thought he did alright tonight, botched a few breaks, 3 heavy touches but contributed elsewhere.

    We could and should have won about 4-0 tonight, we kept getting in but fluffing our lines.

    I knew what we were getting, he was Wolves' main man, I watched a lot of their games last season when they didn't clash with ours, I was made up when we signed him, I thought he'd prove a great signing, I didn't think he'd have the instant brilliant start he has, I think that's surprised everyone

    It's going to still take time and to actually get Thiago fit and playing in midfield with Hendo and Gini to see the very best of him, made a lot of great runs for Wolves that were picked by Moutinho, we're more direct than that a lot of the time and our whole side has evolved playing more direct without that type of passing in midfield and our continual runs in behind by our forwards supported by our full backs made for certain types of ball, so all the players will need time to get used to Jota's different movement and we'll need Thiago back to pick the runs out
