A couple of things he did in the second half today were outrageous !

That tussle with a player of theirs in our own half which resulted in him powering through two challenges and playing a great pass to lukaku.

Then when he somehow skinned 2 players inside the box, that was unreal !

need gifs !
 
This boy is special. Michael Ballack in the making. His pace, strength and trickery are fantastic. Can notice him getting better week after week, think this was one of his best performances, dictated play for us in the middle.
 

He went back to his early season sleepmode for the goal when he lost the ball. Still plenty to learn about the defensive side and tracking back. If he stayed with his man the danger wouldve been cut back.

These things will be common when we give so many young players so much responsibility. A lot of patience required with our young guns.
 
Thats cos of the flat back 9 Stoke played.

He drop deep too often. Even in the first half when stoke didn't "park the bus". We struggle to find a player to receive a pass in the final third. He was pushed further up when Osman came on and his impact at the final third was much better.
 

Been excellent, but has been served two guilt-edged chances on a plate in the last 2 games. Got to finish them, Ross.
 
Picked the wrong car park and only just got home! Ross had a good game today but untimely as a front 4 we tended to overplay it to often. Gaping space down the centre of the pitch on more than one occasion and the ball was passed from one wing to the other and back again without any really threat. We could have done with Ross playing closer to Lukaku as he did at the start of the season at least that way he'll be close enough to control lukaku's first touch!
 
Love the young lad...bags and bags of talent...oozes 'the future'...

That said...needs to reign in his diving/drawing fouls...it's one thing to be good at drawing fouls (Peanuts is usually very good at it), but it's another to be doing clear dives...don't want that rep young lad.
