The Dutchman is fast becoming one our best players so good to see someone who can pass the ball to his own team and work hard .

Great result obviously. But I dont like the way we surrender possession so readily. I can understand it against the big guns but against lesser teams we should be more pro-active and make THEM defend. We are giving teams the opportunity to get back in the game. Fulham only took one chance but they hit the woodwork twice and it could have been a different story,

It is very difficult to alter a defending system especially when all the players are playing it so well, but the way we play allows teams to pass the ball around too well because we don't get close enough in the way Townsend did today especially in second half, perhaps if we had played with more of Townsend's determination of today we could've upset Chelsea and Brighton A little bit more allowing our forward play to actually appear.

I don't disagree with you - Riedewald has had a really tough time to get any sort of run in the team and we are now starting to see the best of him. Max could potentially show the same sort of progress given the chance. I just think he is a bit lightweight for the league and I'm not sure where he would fit in? I don't doubt he is a very skilful player though.

Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.

Townsend has this amazing ability to fool people into thinking he played better than he did. Sometimes it’s something as simple as chafing down a back pass when he’s got zero chance of winning the ball. He was very good today but never a 9. Jairo was better than him.

Personally I'd say that the difference is Riedewald can get away with his shortcomings whilst Meyer can't.

Riedewald is a bit too heavy and slow, slightly cumbersome. That explains why he hasn't ever been trusted at centre back or left back, where sharp wingers and forwards would skin him. In midfield that's less of an issue, and he can even use his bulk to good effect from time to time.

Meyer is skinny, weak, and slow. There just isn't a position we could play him in where that wouldn't matter. Even with our policy of extending contracts to preserve the value of failed players, I'd be amazed if we offered him a deal, and surprised if he then ended playing regularly at a good club in a top league.

But that's just my opinion.
