Decent first half. Young and Welbeck have been gash although it was a good finish by Kid for his goal. Zaha has been the main man again.
My boy asked me yesterday whether Buttner should be starting ahead of Evra next season. I said categorically not and will have to show him a clip of Kitchee's second goal to emphasise why!
our defenders/mid have been so causal defensively in all the matches so far .. hope they be switched on when the season starts
In this season, regardless of how we do, I hope to see the younger players given a chance. SAF in his final years only played them in League cup fixtures. Januzaj, Keane, Wotton, Powell, Zaha, Fabio are names that I would like to see fighting for at minimum the bench or starting 11 opportunities. On another note, I happy Anderson is getting fitter but we need a midfield enforcer included when he plays because Anderson is all about going forward. I know we love 4-4-2 but perhaps it could be adjusted to be 4-4-2 when we have the ball and 4-5-1 when we don't have possession. Flexibility. Lastly I hope we actually see a team that presses the opposition as a unit, something that we never really did of late.
As much as I'm pleased to see these youngsters impress, its worrying that we aren't active on the market. The defence is quite old now, needs one excellent cover there. And just one strong impactful midfielder, that's all we need.
