Late to the Cunha discussion here, but I must be watching a different player to a lot of others. I think the blokes brilliant. He's vital to how we play. Strong, athletic, quick, powerful and all those other words. He's so important in getting us up the pitch and he pulls defenders all over the place, opening up space for others. Because of all the other stuff that he brings to the team, his actual goalscoring record can potentially be overlooked (unlike Fabio), although I think it's obvious we'll expect more goals from him eventually. For me, he's one of the first names on the teamsheet. Plus he seems like a top bloke in the dressing room and the others seem to love him.
That front three of Cunha, Hwang & Neto is quite dynamic and has the ability to scare a lot of opposing teams - especially on the break. At the start of the season I think most of us wanted a proper number 9 (Sasa?) ahead of them, but given how we played against City and how solid we looked adding an additional defender in to the side, I think I'd be happy with that shape moving forward (with the ability to add Bellegarde in there for the additional defender against teams sitting in against us) with the hope that we can regularly get points on the board.
