Things I feel we learnt from last night.

He made the goal on Tuesday.

He doesn't get a relatively meaningless 'assist' stat for it but his was the key work.

He didn't get the relatively meaningless assist stat because he didn't assist.

He tackled the player in midfield, the ball sprang free, Emi put the excellent pass for Idah to develop, Vrancic slotted it in off Idah's toe.

Yes, it was a timely tackle in midfield, no he did not have control over where the ball went to, yes Emi did a fantastic pass, and we'll never know if Idah would have scored but we're all glad Vrancic did.

You might also say that Emi or Idah or even Vrancic did the key work. 

Watch it again. Yes he made a tackle but he's not the Messiah.

How many assists/goals has Emi provided this year? Not many more than that.

Probably best not to compare Emi with Rupp.

The difference between a Council painter and Monet.

Everyone who's claimed he's the Messiah is looking pretty foolish right now.

You've won the internet today 😁

I don't think I claimed he was the Messiah.

Just to say 'he doesn't make assists' is meaningless.

He played a key role in making the goal happen and I'd argue did more than Idah who will get the assist stat next to his name.

I'd probably say that Emi made the goal happen with his pass.

As Bethnal suggests, I'd like to see Vrancic start a game as a number 10; but I think we'd have to leave out either Cantwell or Buendia to accommodate him. Stiepermann gives us more of a first line of defence in that position, as I think Pukki would if he was fully fit and firing.

What we do have now, which we didn't have last season (or even the season before come to that) is a huge number of options. We haven't even mentioned Josh Martin and I'm still convinced this will be a big season for him.
