    I know most on here would say that Neil could do with playing a bit more like Sadiki, but there’s times when Sadiki could do with playing a bit more like Neil. Chase it a bit less, be more secure etc. Will come with time no doubt.

    Diarra has some serious running power

    Sadiki has been too eager to win the ball tonight, noticed him moving towards the ball too much when he should be holding his position

    His pressing is impressive like but still very very raw

    Going to be a ridiculous player for us imo

    Get Xhaka's experience in there with him and the upside is huge

    Just reminds me of the ultimate rat TBH. Will learn over time but his press and desire at all times look very good

    You can just see what Xhaka is going to add to Diarra-Le Fee

    That midfield 3 it just looks like Xhaka is the balance.

    Im excited to see it (hopefully weekend)

    Diarra shoots straight at the keeper

    Press has been good. Hull decision making has helped us but adingra elf and diarra especially causing problems.

    Sticking with that high line mind and couple of balls over the top have caught us out. Clear as day the left side of defence needs some work.

    Lot to like with the midfield though

    Diarra is quality. Sadiki not as good as tonight, seems too eager as a few of you have mentioned

    Great cross by Talbi, really liked the look of him tonight - him and Hume linking up well
