I wasn't convinced by him last year and gave him some proper stick but definitely wrong about him.
Looks like an absolute boss.

Noble - I haven't quite slaughtered him but I did think he'd be looking over his shoulders this season. He was immense. Especially after the early card.
Zarate - I still think he is a bit greedy but that side of him seems to have been calmed down a bit and he is actually looking at options around him now.
Nolan - was superb when he came on. Seemed to roll back the years and actually had a little bit of zip when required. Actually have to admit that I think we'd be foolish to let him go - he is ideal for last 15/20 in games.
Jarvis - came on and tightened things up. Nothing spectacular but didn't let himself to the team down.
Maiga - even poor old Modibo did his bit when he cam on. Fair play.
It struck me that Bilic has given the team an almighty dose of self belief. Maybe this new positive attitude will roll the years back for a few players. No more hit and hope hot potato nonsense. Noble in particular today looked like he had the shackles removed. He was pinging balls all over the place. Fantastic.
As much as I was criticising our squad the other day (and of course Rome wasn't built in a day) - this result was achieved without our £30m strike force ! We have all allowed ourselves to get carried away a bit in the past me included but it seems like Slaven has instilled something with this lot. 2 or 3 more additions and I think we could be about to witness something a bit special.
Who was it said the other day that the players were laughing at Bilic's training methods ? That really looked like a team who didn't believe in the manager out there !!

Absolutely , well said - a lot of people have helped us get where we are today , I am convinced we have the right man in Slaven Bilic to develop us even further to the sort of team we have all been clamouring for , why another few wins like this one and we will be singing ' Slaven Bilic's Claret 'n Blue Army ' - just you wait !-DL- wrote:
, because it could be said that without the foundations he [ Allardyce ] laid, today may never have happened.
Aside from Oxford and Payet and Ogbonna, that was Allardyce's team out there.
I'm sure I heard that over the TV today already TOMOS.The Old Man of Storr wrote:
