He’s tweeted this at 3am as well. The entire thing conjures images of him just laughing sinisterly reliving it like a cartoon villain, I love having him in the team.

I don't know was it his intelligence or under the instructions of Mourinho, when he came on, he was all over the place, in a good way. But regardless, he executed his play very well. Not just was he willing to run, but the spaces he ran into actually disrupted all sort of discipline from Burnley when they were so easily shutting up Moura who only ran up and down the right flank.

I hope the coaches coach him further on releasing the ball earlier while building up some tactical play with the core group of the forward players. Because he has the tenacity, vision, athleticism and technicality (of course shithousery very importantly as well) - if he grows into the awareness and intelligence like Kane, or into a no. 10 like player, he will be very valuable.

I'm not pinning too much hope on his fitness, hence I said valuable instead of integral. As and when he's needed and value add like his game last night, and the corner he took for the winning goal, I think that is already a very good return.

Made the difference for us when he came on. The energy and urgency he played with. We went up a gear with him on the pitch. .

Even if he doesn't play every game, score or assist a whole lot, hes exactly the type of player Jose loves. Should be in the squad every game. I'd probably absolutely hate him if he played for anyone else.

It’s even more funny because he seems like such a shy and soft spoken person off the pitch (e.g. when he does interviews), then he turns into a right bastard on it

The classic Baby Faced Assassin.

I wish all of our players had his fire and fight.
