Gunnar

Was great in out promotion winning season, struggled in the prem with ball retention and was never same player after injury! Now back to his best, strong and hungry and a key player in my opinion!

Got tired and sloppy towards the end but he has been excellent since slade joined. I think it's more about knowing his role in the team. Under ole and at times under malky he looked lost.

I think Slade has tied an invisible rope to him and Whitts, they are now playing as a pair. The only break in the first half was when gunnar was miles upfield of Whitts, it didn't happen too much in the second half

In my opinion I would give him the captain's armband, Marshall is showing no signs of leadership on the pitch.

Now they are playing as 2 central midfielders, before it was attacking mid (Gunnar - bizarre idea) and 'quarterback' (Whitts -stupid idea and stupid term )

Not surprising they are looking more comfortable.

Only worry is if one of them gets injured (as happened last week)

Agree playing really well. Whitts also looking better there. Which makes u wonder how was it so bad with ole??? Gunnars energy and work rate last few weeks phenomenal ( predicted text) never of spelt it otherwise
