Key passes for goals 1 and 4. Was surprised how match fit he looked, expected more rustyness.
Same contribution record to Sangare for the amount of goals scored during the time they played

That midfield pivot of Anderson-Danilo-MGW can take us to the next level with quality on the bench as needed.One of the best passers in the squad, along with his many other attributes. Love this lad and hopefully he feels the love here.
Yeah I can see this happening. Probably a wise move. Got to give him credit though, I thought that was his best game for us since May 2023. We absolutely do need a big upgrade in the middle though, and someone will have to make way. We have to keep possession better and stop these turnovers under pressure, it's cost us many points. I'm not talking about changing our style, just evolving it a bit and giving us more options to cycle the ball when we need to take a breather and make the other team do the work.Here comes the controversial post again...
I reckon we sell Danilo in summer.
We paid £16m for him, 6 year contract, so £10m left to pay-off on the books. A sale around the £30m mark which I think is possible nets us £20m on the books.
Not bad for a player who has been shunted down to 4th (at best) in the pecking order of CMs and has been injured for most of the season.
At this point he's possibly more likely to go than Sangare, as even though Sangare is even further down the pecking order, the'res almost zero chance of a +ve net sale on the books with him. Sangare will just become that 4th choice that doesn't see much game-time apart from cups.
We'll use that £20m to put towards a new CM in the Sangare/Yates mould, just an upgrade of both combined, and that'll leave us with that new chap, Yates and Sangare as deeper CMs and Anderson, Dominguez and MGW as the more mobile, box-to-box options.
Having seen how last night played out Maxi I think Sangare's time here is done. He didn't even trust him to come on for 20 mins in a game which was made for a player in that position.Here comes the controversial post again...

I understand the thought process and I think it may happen, but I hope not.Here comes the controversial post again...

I wouldn't describe it as chuff, but I didn't really see anything that stood out. Fairly anonymous I thought, and miles behind Anderson in terms of contribution.I'm a bit confused by all the positivity around his performance last night, I honestly thought he was chuff - gave the ball away a number of times, still a bit weak (understandably) in the tackle and a few completely missed passes. I really don't see what he brings in his post injury performances. Not trying to be divisive, just don't get what he is or what he does.
