Klich - we lost control & possession of the ball once MK was subbed
Saiz - back to his very best
Cooper - wow where did that come from including a delightful glancing headed goal
Roofe - ran his socks off, great movement off the ball
Phillips - so many tackles & interceptions, impressive in his new role
Douglas - lovely debut from a proper left-back, the kop already have a song for Barry

Pablo was also superb, every player in the first XI played their part in a memorable performance

Roofe was everywhere yesterday had their two big Centre halves in his pocket
Coops Afobe only got away from Coops by been subbed
Klich we lost our way a bit when he went off
Phillips perfect foil for Klich big tackles when it was needed
Saiz immense first half but disappeared a bit in the second half
Douglas liking him already

I've already voted, but the more I see of Klich the more I like him.
I imagine him orchestrating Roofe and Bamford in front of him - the future with him can be so bright if we only will use who we have been given.

Exceptional performance all round, with many of these guys making me eat my recent words - very happy to say that too lol

1) Roofe, led the line as well as I have ever seen him do with some brilliant runs both on and off the ball. Gave everything
2) Saiz - back to the Samu that we loved pre Newport debacle
3) Kilch - revelation since pre season and continued that form yesterday
4) Cooper - much maligned by all but thought he was superb , especially with that block for what looked like a certain Stoke goal
5) Douglas, wand of a left peg - great debut - I dont even think it was a pen when he was judged to have clipped Ince.
6) Pablo - class deft touches throughout and really put in a shift.

Could Klich/Roofe/Bamford be our version of Ericksen/Alli/Kane?
I know I'm getting carried away but I just can't stop the images of our potential. Roofe and Bamford haven't played together yet but if we can consolidate them with Klich and potentially Saiz, the potential is limitless - until we meet Millwall, but Bielsa's seen that game and will have something worked out I'm sure.

[The Subhuman]

Sorry Norm I can see Roofe either getting sold on the back of that or moved to the bench..I honestly don't see us going two up front (and being successful) with only two starting CD's. If we had 3/4 CD's then 352 maybe on.

Once Bamford is in (10M pound man remember, he's playing) Roofe is competing for Alio's place and Gianni has much more experience there. Roofe will be expected to be an impact player off the bench, which he's not. He's not a cameo player imo, he needs game time.
