    Odds on us bringing on Oakley-Boothe for Sissoko in the 89th minute?

    Oakley-Boothe on for Alli.

    Both fans in the stadium applaud.

    A full game with Sissoko on the pitch? I'm scared...

    Glad that wasn't streamed.

    Rubbish. I'm also very worried when a newcomer misses a sitter like Llorente.

    Does not auger well for the squad as a whole for the
    first half season PL/CL campaigns.

    Is it possible we could play incredibly well in the CL with teams coming at us,yet go down the tube in the other comps at Wembley with teams parking the bus with their brakes on!

    It says a lot that, having trawled various Twitter feeds, subReddits and blogs, this is what I can say about the performance

    THE GOOD(ish...)
    Foyth, Vorm

    THE BAD
    Llorente, Dele

    NO IDEA WHATSOEVER
    Everyone else

    Levy's thoughts on the matter...

    No. The goal was our first shot on target.
    Lots of players lacking match fitness and confidence.

    Llorente's first touch was appalling all night.
    Alli didn't look particularly interested.
    Son spent the first half taking 50 touches every time he got into their box.
    Sissoko did alright.
    N'Koudou was bright when he came on.
    Walker-Peters was pretty comfortable.

    We're through and that's the main thing.
    Hopefully the rusty players will have shaken some of it off now.
    Bloody empty stadium, too.

    Around 23,800 at Wembley
    Around 15,000 less than when Cleethorpes played South Shields there in May:shocked:

    POSITIVES
    * Winks and KWP both getting 90 minutes
    * Foyth seeming to fit in nicely
    * GKN looking lively when he got on the pitch
    * Another reason to slap any hack who brings up the Wembley Hoodoo

    NEGATIVES
    * Remember the League Cup match against Newcastle in the 2 points from 8 games period in a 2/3 empty St James' Park where there was a feeling nobody should have bothered with the match in the first place? That's what tonight's match felt like, not just based on comments from people who were there, but how the match didn't seem to exist

    Happy with the end result, but not the alleged performance.

    I had envisaged a similar starting XI being used for
    the Apoel CL game and getting a decent result, but
    I cannot see it happening based on tonight.
