Great game for him today
I thought Baleba was majestic at times today, a real class act. Yes, the levels dropped at times but he finished very strongly.

He really looked like the Caicedo replacement at last. Good game.
Outstanding. Probably unpopular but I prefer him to Gilmour…..
I reckon he can work well with Gilmour. A more exciting player, definitely.
I think stronger on the ball, better going forward, passing wise from a range perspective, perhaps not quite as good, but a better tackler….
You’re right though, perhaps they could work together and free up Pascal.

Think that is incredbily harsh. Thought he was very good, MOTM and comfortably his best game for the Albion.

I want to see Gilmour and Baleba starting together in CM, with Pascal further up (either as 10 or wide right).
Bart in goal for the rest of the season too.
He was my MotM today but I get that he still has a lot of learning to be done.
However, the potential is obvious. The when he is Mac’s age, he’ll be top level. Without a doubt.
Happy to watch him learn and develop with us over the next few years. The good news is that no one will who wants him can afford him for the foreseeable so he is our boy for the next few years.

MotM performance for me today.

Definite MoM today, but still naive at times and needs to work on his decision making.
Then again, that's why he's signed for us and not been snapped up by Chelsea as part of their plan to sign every full international aged under 21 years on the planet.

A good game to-day, and deserves a run in the team to develop further, but will RDZ give him that.
I doubt that he will, as focus will be on securing a European place, therefore unless either are injured Gross/Gilmour will start as pair.
Best he is likely to get for the rest of the season is 15 minutes or so from the bench.
However, I expect him to feature more next season, particularly when (or if) we are playing three games a week.

Baleba best player on the pitch today albeit faded a little 2nd half but so did the rest of them.
I think he may play the 3, Baleba, Gilmour and Gross in front (Moder on the bench).

And those two key aspects will only be improved upon with increased game time.

He seems to get better each game and deserves more game time. He’s very skilful but he’s also a bit of a bulldozer which is what we need in midfield. Exciting prospect for next season. For the gamblers on here, he’s usually a dead cert for a yellow card in your ‘build a bet’!
