Forwards’ race

At least donkey can pass the bleep test

I’d be shocked if he didn’t stop after the first beep and look to the skies to see where the noise came from.

Next up, probably the worst team to ever play in the Premier League.

Didn't we beat them with a last minute pen at their ground?
Well, with the gap being 14 pts at the moment, maybe Slot should consider rotating the team. Can't blame him if he doesn't though, after that shambolic performance in the FA cup.

Diaz I cannot for the life of me figure out. The past two games he's been incredible, workrate, tenacity, skill, everything (bar goals obvs). Is this him back in his purple patch of form? We've got all 6 forwards fit at the right time really.

Comparing his performances as the 9 to on the wing is a pointless exercise. Much like Cody, the guy is and has always been a winger.

He's not a 15-20 goal a season winger, then again there are very few out there who are but he's always been important to the team with maintaining our defensive shape and also carrying us up the pitch whilst holding onto the ball waiting for others to get up in support. Absolutely incredible yesterday until Jota went off.

Diaz is such a shithouse when attacking, will run towards his man, fiddle with the ball for 5 seconds, then pass it sideways or back. Ad Nauseam.

This is what makes Mo great, he always, always takes the defender on when given the chance. I think his mentality is at worst I’ll get a throw-in. Often in games he keeps losing the ball but after 8th or 9th attempt finally gets through a defender and boom.
