Looked much more comfortable when Botman came on, he's a big lad too. Tempo went up when Linton and Bruno came on. Pressed much better. Good for the win but they weren't up to much, dirty tackles though.
Basically, we've improved one central defender. Every other problem the club had is still there. ASM blind alleys? Check. Fraser no end product, legs flapping whilst he's not moving? Check. Murphy just a bit ****? Check. Almiron bumbling possession with his head down? Check. Dummett long balls? Check. Krafth being, well, Krafth? Check. Wood stumbling around, rarely in the right place and passing up a chance to score? Check. And so on. Bruno, Joelinton, Trippier on another level. Botman certainly looks like he can be part of the new look team. Targett, Wilson, Pope/Dubs appropriate. Willock/Longstaff/Shelvey are probably good enough. But we are still shy of exactly the players we said we would be on 1st Jan - a right winger, a centre forward.
