Decent first half with some good positives.
Amavi looks good going forward.
Gueye looks decent.
Kozak is much better than I expected.

This biggest disappointment, but least surprising is Gabby.
Gabby is just Gabby and being just Gabby is nowhere near good enough.

Not convincd by Sinclair

Me neither. I doubt we'll see much of him after September.

We are looking pretty good.

If I had to pick out those who are not particularly impressing, I'd opt for Gabby and Bacuna.

We look comfortable. Gabby is what he is and if things work out we'll see less and less of him as the season goes on. Bacuna is a strange one as he's not great at anything. Ideally I'd love for us to have signed an Amavi level RB. Early doors and all that but Amavi looks fucking ace

I disagree. He has a willingness to beat a man and always looks like he has a goal in him. I think he will get a decent chance and if he does he will kick on. He has the perfect attributes for an outside forward

Micah Richards has been everywhere tonight

That's generally not a good thing for a centre back.

Maybe; we'll see. I hope you're right because he certainly shows willing.

I meant it in a Martin Laursen kind of way.

really good defending from Clark there, that's why he's better than Baker, he reads the game really well.
