I have to say the performance was amazing. But what has surprised me most this season - so far anyway, has been that 5 of the most important players from last year have gone, and so far the team has looked as good as it did at its best last year.
On the face of it we should be really missing Green, Bartley, Taylor, Bridcut and Wood but because of a huge improvement in O'Kane, Phillips and Cooper allied to the amazing starts made by Alioski and Saiz. The team has not really suffered up to now. Is it a bit much to expect the improvements to O'Kane, , Phillips and Cooper to last all season? As for new arrivals TC has intimated that he does not really need a new C. Back. He may just be deflecting of course. I'm not sure that Pennington will be as strong as Bartley, but adding Shaughnessy as a 'developing' player has helped the numbers. I think Ekuban and Grot were signed as improvements/potential over Doukara and Antonnson, so I imagine a more experienced Wood replacement is on the cards. In midfield Klich gives the option of more physical presence in an area where they were all midgets last year and Anita is capable of doing anything Bridcut could, as well as being an excellent right back, and a decent left back too. I hope Dallas stays, as he looks sharper and quicker this year. Perhaps his exploits in the Euros affected him last season. He is certainly above Sacko in the pecking order right now, who looked pretty shocking in his cameos. Looking forward to the next round of games already, with Berardi and Pennington coming back to add a bit of cover in defence. MOT KOT.
