The one thing that new signings will affect is that they push the youngsters back down the pecking order, not a problem if some need more time to develop.
I also think Long had a very good game. Always in a thorn in the oppositions side and you can see how Hull are doing without him. His leap for the second was superb, he just needs to put away a few more.
Yoshida is getting a lot of praise which is uncommon. Perhaps he is more comfortable in a back three/five as perhaps that is more normal in the Netherlands.
To be fair, he's looked pretty solid this season either in a three or alongside Fonte. Only one word for Alderwereild's performance on Saturday though - bloody magnificent. (Okay, two words).
http://www.mirror.co.uk/vauxhall/left-back-ryan-bertrand-knocking-4840014 Article suggesting that Bertrand is close to an England call up, though does point out the competition he is up against in that position. We may have to say no anyway as he has to stay at home to look after Corkie.
To be fair, I suspect England could do far worse than consider Cork as well. When they are readily picking Henderson, it makes a lot of sense.
