2 are passing along the back line to each other and then back again. The other is making assists and setting up goals. Slight difference and proof that football stats are meaningless. Watch the games and see who plays well. Possession, xg or whatever it's called as well as the above cannot possibly tell the story of how players or teams play.

Agree but thought Smith was very good yesterday, forwards and making tackles, interceptions at the back.
Obviously Lewis was the MoM though. So good to see the way he has played last 7-8 games as was worried the injuries had caught up and he was finished at this level.
 
So glad to see Lewis getting back to his best having suffered his bad injury fortunes….and to be fair Parker has stuck by him when some (myself included) doubted his ability to get his form back.He was pulling all the strings for us yesterday and by far the best player on the pitch IMO….also thought that Massengo their late sub looked decent and I know that we have been linked with him for a summer move.
 
Lewis Cook has gone from looking like a bang average championship footballer to our best player and easily top division quality in the space of a few weeks. For a player in that role, when on form, he has it all. Great at working the ball in tight situations, can carry the ball well from deep, good range of passing, reads the game well, can put a tackle in ect ect.
 
Never underestimate the impact that two very serious and potentially career threatening injuries can have on a player. Even after physical recovery the mental challenge of believing that you can play at the highest level again is huge. I am so pleased for him as he has always been the best player by far for the role he is in at the moment. I hope Kilkenny is watching him closely as it will do his progression good to learn from his ball retention near his own box in particular.

Personally, I'll go as far as saying its one of the most complete Lewis Cook performances we've had. Good interceptions, tackles, quick passes to keep the tempo high, runs forward into space. Everything you'd want from a player in that role.

Spot on.

Amusing how many fans write someone off, particularly with his pedigree.

Will no doubt say 'well I can change my mind' which of course they can, but does make me laugh sometimes. They then get upset about loyalty when players hit a vein of form and decides to move on.

He has been superb recently and seems to have added that knack of anticipating and intercepting opposition passes regularly. One of the things Surman did brilliantly, despite half our fans thinking he was carp!

Surman’s reading of the game was good too. The two areas that Cook absolutely betters him in are carrying the ball at pace and tackling (I love Surman but he’d struggle to tackle present day Paul Gascogne.)
 
just watched his every touch thingy on cows, all seven minutes of it :clap:
most impressive

chelsea should have done the same for lukaku when he touched it 4 times in that european game :LOL:
 
It's abit embarrassing really when singing the Lewis Cook song as part of it trails of into ' erm, err, , erm, never gives the ball away'. The original lyrics were ' plays with Andrew Surman' but obviously that doesn't apply anymore so....here we go it's not difficult.
