Great performance, wonderful flick to set up Cullen and a fabulous finish for his goal. Impressive.

Delighted for him. Took stick in the early days and was seen by some as a Parker favourite but he got better as we got better. Finished last season on fire and sounds like he has had a great match.

He was great second half, I'll add that Tchaouna looked very impressive when he came on too - big lad !

I almost started the same thread, thought he was superb but he was one of many. Cullen and Walker also stood out for me.

Anthony and Cullen today were fantastic. Both scored good goals and had good assists

Felt last week that Anthony and Hannibal needed to up their game a touch to potentially have the ability to play in the PL. Today they did, granted different level opposition however both performed well.

I know it’s early days but the performance against Spurs was decent and they gone to City and won today.

Nothing to be getting carried away with however this team / squad / manager has a lot more about it than the previous feeble attempt at the PL.

Thought every player made a positive contribution today, and as he hasn't had a mention yet, I'd like to say that Joe Worrall came on and did exactly what was required of him.

I can see why. Incredible work rate, brilliant first touch and has that moment of magic in his locker.

Great composed finish to secure the points for us yesterday too.

Anthony just seems to be thriving under a manager that loves him and a club that appreciates hard working players.

If he can keep developing at the rate he is, we will have a very solid premier league performer on our hands.

There was a night match last season, can't remember which, where Anthony was playing on the right, and he just looked devoid of confidence in the first half. Didn't look like he could or wanted to beat a man. At that point I was wondering if we'd signed a dud.

Since he got switched to the left permanently he's been a revelation, and he's only improving. He's only 25 and got the best years ahead of him. His work rate is also phenomenal, and you can see why Parker wanted him.

I'm a big fan and hugely appreciative of the work he puts in for 90 minutes+ every single match. A goal and assist yesterday was richly deserved with the quality he showed in those decisive moments.

That awful poster who says that Parker has blood on his hands for not selecting Koleosho over Anthony will hopefully have the humility to recognise that he's backed the wrong horse. Again.

I thought he was starting to look at little tired and was thinking he should maybe have been replaced and then he went and did that.

A really good performance and his work rate is phenomenal like a superpowered George Boyd.

Really great player for us, involved in pretty much everything positive that we do.

Recall someone saying he wasn't worth 2.5m, no rewards for guessing who.

At the reported £10m I really hope it's not an obligation, isn't worth a quarter of that.

That's clearly an exaggeration and in the contect of JBL being available for £1.5m. But even so, at that point I don't recall anyone challenging that. He'd just been moved to the right after even Parker tired of giving him chances on left after 12 straight games there.

At the time we signed him in August I'd said £10m was too much but £5m I'd be happy with.

:lol:

If that's clearly an exaggeration then so are all of your posts :lol: me thinks the poster does protest too much.

The ones amongst us who have a good memory know why you're slating Parker for letting Koleosho leave, you spent a good chunk of last year saying Anthony was rubbish and Koleosho should have played instead of him.

It wasn't an exaggeration on your part - you clearly thought it at the time and have once again been proven wrong.
