I know I said a bit on Mainoos quality the other day on a post and I know some do not agree with me and that's okay.
But today, he was brilliant again and just want to acknowledge the fact that we are so lucky to have him and glad he is back in the starting line up.
Also, shout out Dalot, another player that gets an awful lot of flack but his consistency and professionalism is very good.

Think sometimes we forget angel that kobbie is still only 20 and learning and improving with every game he plays.
We can all criticise a player we're fans every ones entitled to an opinion.
The real fan admits when a player's performance is good and can acknowledge it.

Mainoo is getting better and better. Looking stronger and fitter too. Team is playing well, hopefully it continues. Was not a fan of dalot, but he has played well back as FB and under new team. Still think we need stronger full backs. We also need to sign a few in midfield.
Mainoo is young and developing, should not play 180 wins per week. Bruno has been stronger this year, with 90 mins per week. Casemiro is leaving - but also couldn't play 180 mins a week if we convinced him to stay. Being kind, the jury is out on Ugarte.
We are a squad in transition, and assuming we make Europe next year we will need massive investment. Dalot and mazaoui at right back plus our CB options are about as solid as we get right now. Plus our 10/wide forwards I guess.
Goal keeper, do we need a back up? Left back. CM and striker - although cuhna and mbuemo seem to play well there in a flexible front 3.
If casemiro goes I like the sound of tonali, mainoo and bruno midfield.

I love Kobe and he looks class, but I'd like to see more energy from him, more urgency perhaps as he does stroll around a bit too much. His confidence will have been knocked by being ignored for so long, so hopefully he will get better and better.

Jury is not out on ugarte,
He’s already been found guilty of impersonating a footballer.

He had a decent game nothing spectacular though, he is improving but still won't make that killer pass when its on, he takes to many touches before releasing the ball. Hopefully he turns into a top player.

Dio, most commentators are being really positive about him, you clearly see something different.
