    Not enough risks taken all over the pitch for me. Whether it be Abada or Jota taking their men on or Turnbull and Bitton refusing to play a risky pass, we were far too safe. No wonder Stryjek had nothing to do.

    Love this guy ... puts bums on seats and gets bums up off seats, too. Another impressive performance from him today, weaving his magic on the wings and causing their defence a lot of problems.

    PS: Is he Enrique Iglesias‘s son??

    No easy feat to communicate with ESL, especially with a Scotsman.

    He seems a very intelligent kid, speaks well, head screwed on, and most importantly, appears to be enjoying himself here.

    Now I have that sinking feeling in my stomach...

    If we don't sign this guy it will be one of the biggest mistakes we ever make.

    He's been our best player in Europe this season by far

    Amazing player. Taking the * with his close control.

    Can see why he was so highly rated at one point in Portugal.

    It's scary to think how good he could become.

    I think his defending and tracking back is an under rated part of his game, he’s excellent at it

    The close control is top drawer. Genuinely as good as it gets..

    His skill is something else as well. Most game's he's sticking it through someone's leg's and late on the way he was turning their number 6 Brazilian inside out over and over by the corner flag was filth..

    He is ridiculously good..

    100% can see how Benfica rated him..

    Is that not the part of his game they claimed was his weak point as well coming here?

    Yeah, they've been great too.

    Jota shades it for me though, he was fantastic against Betis on just his second appearance for us and great vs Leverkusen as well. We've desperately needed someone like him for years who can take players on and stay composed in tight situations. His unpredictability is something we've sorely lacked in Europe for a while.

    £6.5 million. What a bargain.

    We’ve not had that since McGeady for me, somebody when he gets the ball and turns the defence doesn’t know where the * to go.
