Fornals is involved in the build up to many of them.

He is not a left winger.

Play him in the #10 between Bowen & Antonio with Haller in front of him and Rice & Soucek behind him and we will see a player.

He won the Spain U21 tournament nearly on his own playing there.

I forgot what a good season Snodgrass was having pre covid and injury. He must have led the team in assists or close to it with those set pieces. Good to know we have McMessi coming back as squad depth and way to motivate the slackers in this squad. Wasn't he a Moyes signing?

Nope a board signing as a replacement for Payet, Bilic apparently asked him what position he played...

His positioning when covering lb has been outstanding in the run-in, it's the reason we've barely seen a peep out of fit again Anderson. Noticed again this weekend how quickly we transitioned from attack to good defensive shape, Soucek, Rice, Fornals, Noble and Bowen all had a good idea what their jobs were at both ends of the pitch. This credit has to got to Moyes, it was something severely lacking under Pellegrini.

Fornals is linking nicely with his passing too, started a few moves that led to goals and I think he's going to be a piece to slot into a creative mid, but must be surrounded by like players. His link-up and almost 6 th sense understanding with Cebellos in the U21 WC was fun to watch and I would love to see him continue his growth with our squad.

So, we sign a young, attacking Spanish midfielder........because he's 'outstanding' at covering the left back.

I really have heard it all now.

Fornals 45 appearances, 6 goals 6 assists.

So in a team that scored more goals and creates more chances Mount has similar stats to Fornals.

What you make of that Numbnuts?

I know what I make of that but I’m interested to see the views of the numerical one
