Fantastic performance. Won virtually every tackle. Controlled tempo of game and made a brilliant assist for Jackson's second. He did a similar pass for Jackson last season in our demolition of them at the Bridge in the 5-0 game. I always said once he settled people will see the best of him.

Midfield General.

Excellent performance today.

Immense 

He is a machine. One man midfield like Kante was for us in the past. His tackling, passing and positioning has improved tremendously this season. Lets hope Fernandez can do the same. 

Was cracking today - and gave the ball away far less than he has done in other recent games.

what a game from him. top

Since you are from Ecuador how do you think Paez will do at Chelsea next season?

he is absolutely class. Handling his psychology will be key in developping him properly and making him work ambitiously

I would love if we could ease him in gently without the pressure. Nurture him and Estavao slowly without taking risks.

Reminded me of kante again today.

Easily the best player on the pitch for the whole of the west ham game.

Horrible buy. Overrated. Flop.

Hold Caicedo to a high standard. Was immense vs West Ham. Today he seemed slow/off, very careless in possession and some massively under hit passes. I’d like to see a higher level of sharpness week to week.

Agreed it wasn't his best game at the weekend with some sloppiness but its probably the only game so far this season he hasn't been perfect. 

Didn't do enough for me on Forest goal.

He gets himself in a good position, goalside of wood so he has the option to either throw himself to block the ball, or better yet should to shoulder wood so he is off balance and misses his crucial touch.

Here's faster than Wood, I mean he hast to be most grandfather's are. So he should have kept on him and lost his concentration at a key time, imo.

Proper captains performance from the lad.

Covered every blade of grass to use Roy Keane's words.

He reminds me a bit of Dessaillly... proper rock forming in our midfield. Bossed it today. 

I think he should be the captain 

Worth every penny he will be monstrous for us years to come.

Very good today. I’m not sure if it’s me but he seems to be at his best the few times he’s played with Lavia.

Because he's not doing the work of two people like when he has to cover for Enzo.

Same reason he looked so much better next to Gallagher than Enzo last year.

It’s not only you Lavia/ Caicedo is our future midfield two. Unfortunately we are also saddled with Enzo who has to play with his price tag.

Forced Gravenberch to his worst game of the season. 😂

Travesty if he doesn’t get team of the season at this rate. No one giving him his flowers. Dominate all 2024.
