    I noticed it against Sevilla as well - we seem to be pressing a lot higher than normal.

    Talbi's willingness and ability to defend is a real positive. The speed and angles he presses at are excellent, clearly been drilled into him at youth level.

    First game I’ve managed to watch this pre season so looking forward to it.

    Clear straight away the energy, pace and athleticism through the team. It’ll be how disciplined we can be and how much quality we’ll have to hurt teams which will be the tough part.

    This is exactly what I meant on Saturday. The midfield 3 and the pace of everything is unreal

    Really impressed with how Talbi and Adingra have got into the 4-4-2 shape easily

    Noticed the same, kind of surreal isn’t it even from 3 months ago. Obviously very early days that you can’t take a lot from but there’s a clear step up here
