De Bruyne and perhaps Alexander-Arnold probably the only two I can think of that are in his league in terms of delivery.

Superb footballer. Such a shame the Wood header was disallowed a finer cross you will not see this weekend.

He looked happy to have Taylor back but it’s a special day when all 11 turn up.

The whip and curl he gets on his crosses, must be a dream for strikers and a nightmare for defenders. As soon as he picks that ball up and runs at them, you always feel like something could happen. I would be gutted if we let him go, he is such a creative outlet for us.

The best thing we can hope for is that he gets himself into the England squad next summer for the Euros.

If he does that, then given his age, and that he's English you would have to be talking £50+ million.

Hopefully we’ll get a year or two more out of him. Inevitably one of the big clubs will sign him.

The balls he was digging out today even in tight areas under pressure - world class. Was shut out totally last week and Burnley created nothing, this week he shines and we’re creating chances at will. Special player for this team.
