Virgil looking like his pre January self, composed on the ball and dominant in the air. Excited at our prospects for the season with THE back 7 of FF, CS, WH, VVD, RB, OR and ML

 

As long as we can restrict the opposition to shots from within 6 yards and stop them shooting from outside the box we'll be fine.

I know this question's been asked before, but can't remember the answer.... why don't we have the club's sponsor on the U23s shirt? (Stoke have theirs on theirs)

What's McQueen been like in that role...? Given how many times Redmond turns back.. was wondering whether Sam would make an alternative?
I'd rather see McQueen, Gabbiadini or Sims ahead of Redmond.

Ridiculous IMO. Redmond isn't Mane but is miles better than McQueen as a winger (he didn't stand out as a first teamer against a poor Stoke team tonight). Sims is injured and Gabbiadini is a striker.

Watched the whole stream and obviously paid particular attention to Virgil's body language.

 

I felt he was very professional and not 'up himself' at all (unlike Boufal who stormed off in a huff when he was subbed in an U23 game last season).

 

Virgil spent the evening in total control of the defence, shepherding the youngsters, always making himself available and generally encouraging those around him. This is not a man with a resentful chip on his shoulder and whatever happened over the summer I hope those who apparently booed him on Saturday watched his attitude in this game.

 

If he plays on Saturday lets all get behind him.

Totally agree with those observations. When one of our youngsters went down injured he was the 'father figure' going over to them to see that they were ok. As you say, hardly the demeanor of someone who is dwelling on recent history. Good to see. (I reserve the right to change my opinion if he starts to throw his toys out of the pram again in the January window!)

Right now we need a winger to push on, get past the full back and get a cross in... personally think there's more chance of that from McQueen than Redmond..

 

Not that I am necessarily disagreeing with your main point, but at whom should this cross be directed?

I believe we're cloning VvD in the laboratory as we speak :)
