Looks like he has made the step up from championship with ease, seltz looking a bit more assertive behind them does also look to have helped

Totally disagree with the Omobamidele Supporters. The issue is that the player's positional (situational) awareness is creating additional pressure on Murillo as Omobamidele fails to correctly man-mark the appointed players especially in set pieces and doesn't do the fair share of defensive tackles. Unlike Niakhate to whom has shown to be totally dependable, steps up to be the integral key player in a defensive partnership, Omobamidele currently hasn't show that ability. Of course we've shown this season and early last year defensively we've been fragile against set pieces, and / or counter-attack but in the few game it's undeniably worse. Yes the African Cup, Yes the usual crippling injury list, but if Worrall, Niakhate, or McKenna were involved would results be worse? Sorry I don't get the adoration.

I don't think we've been worse at defending set pieces in the last few games. And as much as I like Niakhate, I'm not sure I could say he's 'totally dependable'. As for Worrall and McKenna, I'd say you have a short memory. Omobamidele is hardly the finished article but given the context (ever-changing back 4, the 2 worst goalkeepers in the league) I think he's looked very capable personally.

Didn't deserve to be on the losing side today - did really well, and put the error last week behind him.

Yep Gyros, credit to the lad he bounced back well.

Thought only Boly could sort the aerial issues at CB, but Omo looked very decent in this area on Saturday. Wouldnt be sad to see Boly come in, but this lad deserves another go after the Liverpool performance. These players are seriously pissed after Saturday, Id play every one of them to take it out on Brighton.

Really interesting and brave selection ahead of more senior CBs like Felipe and Niakhate I thought, but you can't argue with the performance. Keeps his place for Brighton for me.

(I also thought his mistake against Villa was not quite as bad as some made out - it wasn't a helpful ball into him and it was slightly unlucky how the ball broke across for Bailey in the melee with Watkins, Omo and Sels.)

It's far too soon to make a proper judgment, but early signs suggest that Ross Wilson possibly may have unearthed another potential gem, as he clearly has done already with Murillo. The lad just needs games and it's encouraging to see that Nuno seems to have plenty of trust in him by including him against the top teams.

I know Murillo catches the eye but this guy is no slouch on the ball, is mobile and is decent at the defensive fundamentals. Looking like he could develop in to a very very good player.
