Yeah, possibly.
Like you said, he is a young lad.
I know the lads at West Ham think the world of him.
He's going to be a real good centre-half.
But coming to a place like this, your first real season in the Premier League, and to perform like that... By all accounts, he's done it in a lot of games where he's been the stand-out player...
Like I said, everything he did today, the composure, the way he won the ball back, to me it looks like he's got everything.
Yeah, Jamie touched on it.
I thought Noble was, for me, one of the standout players there.
No, he's one of them players that goes under the radar, you know, unless you know what Mark Noble can do.
Me and Jamie were talking about the little balls around the corner.
They go unnoticed, but, you know, he's so good at driving the team forward, knows what it's all about to play in these games, and I thought he was magnificent today.
Yeah, a lot of people would probably be surprised by that, but until you play with Nobles and know what he does...
the way he keeps the ball, the way he controls games of football.
He's such a big player for West Ham and probably never has got the credit he really deserves.
That's clever defending to read.
It's gone over his head to get back on the line and
and block it, it's really clever.
We talked about Diop, I thought Balbuena was superb again as well today.
The General, yeah, by all accounts.
Is he living up to it?
