He worked hard, cut out passing angles for the opposition and once he'd got his eye in was picking out some nice passes to the wings. Taking out our most solid central midfielder when that was a weakness seems bonkers.
The sudden frothing over Gibbs, who was fine, but not better than Lungi, feels just like the thrill of the new.
The area that most clearly needs changing is the three behind pukki.
I'd be tempted to swap Rashica for hugill and play 442.
And bring onel on earlier (or for Sargent, though I see merit in sergent wearing them out for 50-60mins and bring onel on for impact) .
