    BUT if we can’t mention other players who are intrinsically linked to Hugo - in Wirtz’s case - as he plays often in tandem with Hugo…. in a thread about Hugo - then we’re getting a little anal.

    Wirtz had a quiet game and Hugo wasn’t at his best. I suggest that in their first season there is a link between the two. Of late when Hugo has been at his best Wirtz has been bang on it.

    I remember Mo's pass because it's the only thing he did all game. And yes Hugo should have scored from it.

    Premature to be rating him as he has been needs to show consistency and put away more of his chances Mane Mo Bobby and Jota didn’t miss many in the positions he has

    Not as bad as Nunez for that but half as bad he missed 2 massive chances v City

    He's light headed because he's fasting.

    Great finish he was very physical today we were looking to play into him and supporting the ball with a run, did well at it

    French Nando is a treat to watch when he shifts the ball from foot to foot.

    Hopefully we can manage his minutes appropriately to keep him fresh and injury-free until the end of the season and fingers crossed he can get the winner in a key game in the Champion's League.

    I’d like him to get the development Nunez should have had have him able to move through No9 LFWD and false 9

    Nunez was actually better at LFWD for me than he was at No9

    Ekitike dropping off some games getting hold of it spreading it wide and getting in the box with be a treat too

    There was a bit of rotation today, like to leave him up and see him pull onto LB for the long diagonal at times too
