Well that was an interesting watch, 1st half thought we looked like we could score everytime we went forward, but how good are the three behind the striker working out, Grealish/ KDH/ Ndiaye all fabulous today, Grealish was immense again and is never phased by anything, wins us free kicks, breaks the flow of the game when needed and gets us going forward quickly.
Thought the two goals could of been avoided especially the second when it looked like Keane and myko left it for each other but going forward we looked great, it's amazing when we attack with this new team, gone are the dinosaur tactics and hit and hope rubbish. Still miffed about the Leeds game as we should be 100% or at least 7 points, Enjoy your weekend ED25 and fellow blues.

It frustrates me why we wait until the opposition makes a handful of subs to freshen it up. Being 2 goals up we should of freshened it up so our players are already in the game before opposition bring on subs. But a win is a win. Just a shame its the bloody international break. Dunno why they don't put these couple games before season kicks off. Breaks up all momentum for winning teams.

Dont mind this break as it gives us time with injuries and new players settling in. But your right normally they are a pain.

Refreshing subs would have done nothing about their two goals. Who was Moyes going to bring on for Tarks and Keane. Both goals our two CBs did not pick up or close space.

Spot on with the subs Dentie.
Brass makes a great point as it means we can get JB back. Personally, it is always Keane that should make way but I think Tarkowski has been borderline dreadful tbh.

Really is great to see some actual footballing craft for once, 3 open play goals!
Think our issue will now be balance with the defence who for years have played with everything in front of them - under the cosh for 70-80% of most games - now needing to adapt to playing with much more positional awareness and concentration, Tarks has had some ropey moments already but i'm sure they can sort it!

As good as the bench is with attacking players we are a bit short on defensive players to sure things up. But we can't expect everything to happen in one window. Hopefully when JB comes back things will change.
Ed25 has got his Beto shirt on down the pub tonight.
{Ed025's Note - if a player does well i will tell you Chris, if he is poor i will tell you that as well mate, but SUPER BETO was amazing.. :)

This is progress. Who can ask for more than that.
