    Looks like a back 3 of Davies, Alderweireld and Foyth. Sessegnon and Fernandes playing wingback or something similar.

    1-0. Sessegnon. Ipswich give it away with an unforced error, Alli picks a decent pass and Sessegnon takes a dodgy first touch, then puts it in.

    2-0. Another silly giveaway and this time Hojbjerg wins it, gets it to Alli and he sets up Son.

    Has sessegnon been hitting the weights, looks like he's bulked up on the upper body( Mrs Conn pointed this out :emoticon-0165-muscl)

    3-0. Foyth plays a lovely through ball from the back to Son, who chips the keeper.

    Sess looks like he’s got that yard of pace back that just seemed to disappear last season. He’s not rapid over the first few yards but after that he looks quick again. Lovely smooth running style.

    Mourinho having a tactical discussion on the bench with one of our youngsters, who looks extremely nervous! <laugh>

    A couple of other things so far:
    • Gedson at RB might not be the most shocking idea. Looks like he’s got the engine to get up and down and he’s technically good as well. Maybe Jose has been working on him for that position and that’s why we haven’t seen him.
    • Højbjerg is showing glimpses. You can see that he likes to lead a press, most obviously for the second goal. He’s also shown some nice touches and passes in traffic that I don’t think Winks would have made. He’s also asking for the ball (if not always getting it yet) in situations where Winks wouldn’t be comfortable doing that.
    • I still don’t know where Foyth should be playing. CB makes me nervous though he’s good in the ball - he was an attacking midfielder in youth teams and it shows. Still looks more like a RB to me.
    Looking forward to seeing some of the youngsters in the second half.

    3-0 HT. Ipswich weren't that bad, but they struggled badly whenever we presses high up the pitch.
    A few defensive disasters hurt their confidence early on, so it's hard to judge either side from that.
    Unusual setup from us and it's clear that we're missing a focal point up top, in my opinion.

    I shouldn't curse myself by adding this, but the stream quality has been remarkably decent, so far.
    Surprised that we picked one of the usual commentators, too.

    Solid first half from us but the opposition is nowhere near our level.

    Gedson showing signs of a potentially decent RB. Made some brilliant runs but his final decision making had been poor right up until 41 mins where he finally knocked a cross in which Son should’ve buried. With Aurier on his way and a new RB surely coming in, he may be able to provide cover and competition for the role so long as he/ Jose works on his decision making. Hard to see a route in at CM for him right now so this could be a good chance.

    Hojbjerg looked decent breaking up a couple bits of play. Great pass by Foyth for Son’s second. Sess and Alli moving nicely. Defence untroubled.

    Ledley going through notes with CCV, you love to see it.

    Sounds like CCV, Cirkin and Clarke will be coming on. As will Hart.

    Out here in the US, I paid just under $10 for a month of BR Live, which will cover all three initial games and maybe even the Watford game as well.

    Don’t mind paying ~$3 for each game tbh, wouldn’t pay the UK prices though.

    Looks like Cirkin, CCV and Clarke on.

    Hart, Carter-Vickers, Cirkin and Clarke replace Lloris, Foyth, Son and Davies.
    Ipswich make 11 changes, including Andre Dozell and Freddie Sears.
