Absolutely great performance today, no doubt about that. But I thought I'd point out a couple of other things I noticed.
Mkhi has obviously shown he has the skill to make our first team, but another amazing thing is his movement and positioning ability. He's always, always, making great runs in and around the box. If you look just before Ibra's goal, when he's on the byline, Mkhi's movement is terrific. Ofc Ibra gets crowded out, but before that Mkhi searching for space is something you'd see only from world class forwards. Really happy for him, showed great desire today, and hope he only gets better.
Carrick. I know there's no lack of appreciation for him on this thread, but other than his passing ability and obviously his defensive positioning, his adaptability is amazing. I know he's played CB multiple times, but I've noticed that whenever Jones goes on a run forward, Carrick is always there covering at CB. I know this might be a bit obvious/not required to be said, but it says a lot about our free form of play right now. Even our forwards have a lot of freedom to drift and for me, this is great to see. Plus Jones at CDM is something I've always wanted to see since SAF first played him here.
Anyways all this might be me just saying obvious things, but it's still something I appreciate, and thought I'd say it out loud.
