    It’s not far off full strength for them, they just a bit **** at the minute.

    They have no stars. Marcia the CB is decent, as are Ejuke and Isaac, but in the main they average to poor.

    Could easily have gone down last season without a well timed good run.

    Sadiki is a lot bulkier than I first thought. Built like a little brick **** house but quick as!

    I’m starting off believing everyone who’s fit will stay fit …

    … pointless pointing to previous injuries that have cleared up.

    Lot of fun watching this. While it’s only a friendly of course, there not one of these who I’d not warmer to see play pl footy. Loads of talent and mobility on show.

    Diarra is ****ing impressive. Just little snippets of what he will be and it’s superb.

    Great strength, turn and sharp ball there.

    Diarra for me, but just - love that Sadiki has a bit of neddle about him, isn't backing down. Tbf Enzo has also been class

    This midfield 3 has been impressive so far

    tbh he didn’t give a foul but stopped it as he stayed down. I think cos it’s a friendly he’ll just let them start up?

    They aren’t great but I’ve not heard of most of these lads.. are you sure? They’ve got Lukebakio, Bade, Saul, Agoume, Vargas etc none of them are on the pitch.

    Potentially stunning trio.

    I agree Diarra just looks levels in the way he does everything.
