Amadou Onana

It was getting Tielemans the ball in the right areas as his touch and range of passing with both feet are his strengths.

Having Onana with Kamara seemed to take the shackles of the whole team to play, Torres as well was able to his stuff in comfort as well.

It doe and it’s certainly what a few of us have been saying, the midfield balance is absolutely essential to us being better at both ends of the pitch.

I’m so glad he’s back, we’ve missed him and I’ve been so excited to see him play alongside Kamara with Tielemans further forward and it seemed to work a treat.

Frustrating that he's been injured so much this season, as I think that he looks quality and is only 23 to boot.  The number of times those long legs make tackles and interceptions, mean we win the ball back more quickly and then can hit teans on the counter.

Yep, we’ve really missed his presence in midfield, if we keep him fit, him and Kamara could be great duo. Dougie and Kamara were ace together and we’ve missed that combination, this however very different could still be just as influential.

Great to be able to play 2 authentic DM's together.

For those highlighting his age, see also Rogers and Duran. To a lesser degree, you can add Maatsen and maybe Nedeljkovic in time.

The partnership was very impressive and was perfect for the game, if we needed a goal I still thought we maybe lacked an 'out ball' some pace on the flank. Which is hard on McGinn who was excellent but we do seem to miss that in the squad.
