What the hell? What's been good about it so far? Its been ok. It's a pre season game on a poor surface in an extremely humid country. This isn't gonna be some overnight revelation, relax.

Defence struggling to distribute but thought Townsend and schlupp been great. Can see why de Boer targeting so many defenders.

I'm forever grateful for what Delaney has done for the club, but he is no longer good enough in my eyes. Some good individual performances but nothing dramatically different from last season so far. Milo looks like he'll be key again and Zaha and Townsend are going to rip a new one for some PL fullbacks this season.

Not bad for a first game. In spite of the Wayne haters, he's looked good except for one punch-out. This is not the back three we'll be seeing once the season starts. Commentators said Cabaye isn't fit enough yet, no word on Tompkins. Salah for them has been an eye-opener.

It's to try and progress as a club but we've played far more defensively than most would expect anyway. Either way I'd say it would be best to hold off judgement for the time being and remember we've limited them to not much. Good to see Zaha finally being given a more free role the cut in from the left and play off the striker, I've said for years that's what he needs to really get the best out of him, rather than so many managers who've tried to make him an out and out old fashioned winger judged on how good his crossing ability is.

Essentially FDB is living up to his promise...he's looking to change things bit by bit. We look like a BFS team when the oppo have the ball, but when we have it, we're looking to beat the man breaking through the lines before then looking for the pass....encouraging. I'd take nil nil in the 2nd game of the season, when we play them next!

Such a big difference from the "let's be avin ya" hoof to Bolasie and run Pardew type s*** that was supposedly "progressive".

Named as captain !!!! He is one of those players. Appears hopeless... until he is out of the team. Provides that anchor or gel or solid base or whatever on which the rest of the team tnrive. Truthfully I have no idea what he provides... but it seems to work. And successive coaching teams seem to agree.

Interesting that there hasn't been any comment on Schlup. Thought he did pretty well considering how alone he was and how little support he has had.
