He’s skillful, confident, and tested Wolves’ defence throughout the game. He beats his man almost every time once he pulls out the stepovers, and it usually leads to a corner or half chance at the very least.



It’s not a case of whether or not he is more effective than Cody Gakpo (for what’s it’s worth, if both played every game, I still think the Dutchman would produce more G/A), but waiting until his body is developed enough to be starting every week in the brutal and physical nature of the Premier League.Anyway, that display will do wonders for his confidence going forward, which already seems high. But the Scotsman’s performances are vastly improved from last season, and I can’t help but wonder if the increased rotation has helped him, although he could just simply be playing better than he was in 24/25.A real fan favourite, this season will probably be his last, but that was a pretty memorable performance.

Jones hasn’t featured as much lately, possibly related to transfer speculation around him - but I’d hope not.He’s the club’s only local first team player at this point, and someone who fits into Slot’s style of play really nicely, with his tenacious pressing and comfort on the ball when being pressed. Technically, he is a joy to watch when he is in that kind of form.
