The header gets better and better each time I watch it. What the **** is he thinking <laugh>

must have watched it a fair few times since and i am convinced he was ready to celebrate a goal (watch his arms before realisation hits) and that is the problem with having a striker defend, his instincts are to head for goal and i think in that split second he literally forgot which end he was at.

Talbi was a going to be special

You could see he could play from day one looked a little low on self belief with the step up.

That’s passed bow and he tries things, great first touch. Some decision making growth to go and he can be exceptional.

He was always looking to give the ball initially, now his first thought is to carry it, exactly how a winger should be.

I proper rate the lad.

Yep he's coming along nicely. I'd like to see him do a bit more with his left foot, but I'm sure that will come too.

All good signs.

Just watched our match on MOTD, god Walcott is fast becoming a jumped up little prick as a so called pundit.

Asked what he thought of the us taking a picture at the end replied " I wonder if they do that in the return fixture". Knob

Especially after Xhaka said we wouldn't do it at an away ground in the post match interview, in a kind of thinly veiled "were not like those clowns" message. We done it to prove a point, I said to the mags at work it would come back to bite them in the arse...and it has.

We won't drop to their levels.

That's what I thought. He didn't need to jump up and head it like that.
