Danilo has certainly impressed again, reminds of Zab about 3 years ago.

I enjoyed Ederson coming out like that, it will cost us occasionally, but it will add far more than it gives away.

KdB looks hungry.

Back 3, first time I've ever felt confident about us playing it, I know they haven't done much, but it does look to have a bit of something about it.

Bacon Sane Read it back to yourself. Aloud.

If Bernardo play second half he also can be a little off pace, he just returned from vacation. I think that part of the extended vacation he had, was because of the Portugal games, but also to recover fully from his ankle injury.

Very comfortable but we're lacking any intensity and not really created much. This is where i think 3-5-2 falls a bit short against teams that we're so dominant against. Take a centre back off, Get Walker on, Danilo switch to left back and push Sane right up. Get Sterling on for one of the strikers and go to the formation we saw last season. With a sitting midfielder and 3 centre backs we've got players not really doing much when in possession which must be about 80% of the time today, we can afford to push one further up

Boring enough half

Looked like Eddie had his slippers on, and could swear I saw a pipe

Silva seems a little off the pace, hopefully this is getting him back up to speed..

Like to see the apprentice second half, could be tasty!

In 2-3 months the 'apprentice' will be seen as the better option. I honestly believe that. No dig on Dave, just Bernardo is that good.

After the goal they accidentally showed slightly old footage of an empty stadium in our half I thought he went for a pint

Plenty of positives this summer but don't think Kun and Jesus have been good in preseason

Not if silva plays like he did last season.
