Positives:
- High press, what a breath of fresh air to see
- Good passing and movement, particularly 2nd half
- James was so exciting to watch and will definitely be a fan favourite
- Tuanzebe solid throughout, nothing got past him
- Don’t think Perth Glory had a shot
- Both Young and Lingard dome really well, which is something I haven’t said that often
- Gomes was outstanding and I really hope he gets given a chance this season
- AWB was fantastic at RB and hopefully that’s that “problem” position now sorted, he’s going to be a key player for us
- Geat to see Garner score his first goal
Negatives:
- Martial still looks so one dimensional, you just know what he is going to do when he has the ball
- Matic was as slow as a week in jail and hopefully is not an automatic 1st choice starter
- We still lack creativity in the side
- Disappointed with Chong, looked like a rabbit stuck in the headlights out there
- Evident in the 2nd half that our midfield is so much better when Pogba plays and who knows if he will still be here
Overall good performance and result. James and Gomes the standouts. Still need a couple of new players brought in.
