Wes looks like a bystander in this one. Expect another signing.

1-1 Poor goal to give up

This is a really good test. The other games have been far too easy. To go into Spurs on the back of those would have been foolish.

Agreed, I reckon there's not a massive difference in quality between these and spurs (3rd in the bundesliga and in the champions league) so this is much more like what we can expect.  That there's nothing much in the game says that we can definitely be competitive against most teams in the premier league.

I doubt we'll come across many teams with a better attack than Werner and Poulson all season.

I think he's done a decent job so far, I reckon he was in if he hadn't been fouled for the free kick we scored from.

Maybe heresy but McGinn looks a little poor against this quality...

He's keeping the game flowing - by just ignoring all fouls.
