1. Giles - Great getting forward, put decent crosses in, did his job at the back too. 2. Hughes - Cleared everything put at him, didn’t really have any involvement going forward really, but that’s not his job. 3. Ajayi - Defensive top 3 sums up the game really. Good debut, as long as he keeps fit, I can see him being Hughes’ partner at the back.
Perm any 3 from 4 of the back 4.... for different reasons they were all fantastic. What I love to see is the back slapping, hand slapping and covering for each other.. 1. Ajayi what a steal. 2. Hughes a captains performance 3. Giles as he got forward more than Drameh. An honourable mention for Ndala. Not what he wants to show im sure but did exactly what was asked of him...likely...
Ajayi Giles Lundstram Drameh and Hughes also excellent. Crooks was unplayable for twenty minutes then went off the boil.
Hughes Ajayi Giles Giles getting votes on the season-opener MotM thread, wouldn't have expected that at the end of last season.
Watched from a bar in Crete. Obviously more to come in attack but really impressed with our defensive performance, shape and pressing. Ajayi - I've always liked Alfie but keep this guy fit and he's different class. Giles - His redemption starts here. Hughes - Gets better and better.
Hughes Giles - defensively solid, our main threat going forward Drameh - thought he dealt with a difficult threat well.
Can’t vote as didn’t see it, good to see Giles getting so many votes. Fingers crossed we finally see the hype he came with lived up too
Ajayi Drameh Hughes would have added Giles too but he had that one moment to remember when he almost missed a header from a cross which is his Achilles heel
Got all the first half and the last 20 + the extra year on my life lol…. If I’m allowed I’d say 1 Hughes 2 Ajayi 3 Giles And as every one else has said a bit harsh on the others but oh my god if these back 4 stay fit the sky is the limit….
