Going back to check X for 2 minutes before scrambling back here for safety:

He’s got to be close to making a debut if he’s regularly on the bench and training with the first team. The problem now with us doing so well this season is that if he does debut it’s going to make keeping him away from prying eyes a lot harder!

Tom tops the list, but watching ESR drive through a pack of defenders gets me all misty eyed for when we had Mousa. It really did feel like he could start a game as the only midfielder in a team and he’d still take over the game. We really have been lucky! Hopefully ESR continues this trend!

(Mika’s an oddball choice but watching him completely swan through the championship that year was majestic, and I’m a sucker for a great comeback story)
