In the 88th minute.

His goal was the finish of a pwoppa no.9 {like his headers are.}

Last to score 7 on the trot at home was RVP apparently. I wonder what his {and are all time} record is?

Whoda thunk he'd be doing this when he'd first joined us and looked like a poor-man's Fabio in the left inside forward role?

Downsides:

Jeez seems to have lost all confidence and unlike Kai last year and Gabby at the start of this season, we can't keep starting him until it comes good.

Raheem's still learning to fit in - we've seen glimpses of what he can do, he was great in that cup game. He's an upgrade on Reiss, esp. cos MA has faith in him. But we looked so much better with the normal {sans-Ødin} forward line with Leo and Gabby.

Other upsides:

Merino looked decent {though thank Ganpati he didn't get a touch to Saka's cross when Gabby scored cos he was offside.} I can't wait to see how him and Dec play in MF with Kai-Leo and esp, when Ødin's back.

Tomi being fit again. Remember how happy we were with him in his first season? How we felt we had a pwoppa RB again? With Benny Blanc and JT out, he fitted in perfectly comme toujours. Given he can play both sides {and CH} and Jakub can play CH and was fine as a non-inverting FB, if we had to lose a defender, I'd say ditch Zinny now.

BW, JT and Cala can all invert. Jakob can play a normal FB. Tomi's a great RB and could probably invert if needed. And all are better defensively than Zinny.

I don't remember when we ever had such good defensive options.
