    He’s Italys best player according to the Italy fans.

    We have an absolute diamond.

    I am so confident we will finish top 5 that I would put money on it.

    As he's Italian I get drawn to comparing him with other italian players. People try to argue he's Prilo but he seems more Gattuso to me - that's no bad thing, they were both outstanding players!

    I remember when Jack Colback was compared to Pirlo.

    Yeah he's absolutely class... only going to keep getting better and better... I don't think Newcastle played well Tonight... they were a bit flat at times and sloppy throughout, but Tonali once again steady away.

    Yes you’re absolutely right. He also has that strength and anger which gattuso had but Pirlo didn’t.

    Pirlo was a magician. Gattuso was a warrior. That’s what Tonali is.

    We were sloppy a fair few occasions. 3-0 when not playing our best. Lovely.

    He's very very good. Best in Italy is tricky to judge, their keep is excellent. I would add that Alessandro Bastoni has looked outstanding in the handful I've games I've seen him and probably better than any defender we have in the Premier League. They've got half a great team but the issue for Italy is they've also got some filler.

    I'm not sure, I think I just watch games thinking we're gonna be **** , and don't realise we're good these days. We've been **** for so long that I just see the errors.

    If you get out of that mindset, we're actually really good, we played very well throughout the team.

    First half I agree but second half we controlled the game.
    Isak in the media is going to get all the credit. But that’s fine. Let him. We know our strength is in our midfield.

    Gordon is world class.

    Murphy (I hang my head in shame) is practically irreplaceable because he’s playing so well.

    I literally have no complaints right now and I firmly believe Howe is going to deliver us Champions league football.

    I'm aware it's a good side but they weren't at their best tonight that's all.

    Wolves should have scored about 3 or 4 second half...thankfully they didn't.

    You probably need to see a doctor because I dont think you have a balanced diet.

    There is no nutritional in Hats mate.
