Thought Aleix Garcia had a great game, deep lying playmaker lots to come from him superb passing ability keeps the ball ticking over!
Was was it was in the end. We really should have done better against a 9 man team and there were some moving parts that didn't quite fit together. Alex Garcia looks like a belter to me and his touch/technique/vision is fantastic but the midfield around him weren't really on his same level and much of his time was spent down dark allies.
Ambrose had a pretty bad day in front of goal. Numerous chances were miles away and he scuffed the majority, he's usually much better in that regards and probably had a bad day.
Man of the Match for me was definitely Patrick Roberts with a goal and two assists after dominating his wing with pace and trickery the whole game. Looks a step above everybody else there and he probably is.
Grimshaw showed good mental strength to pull himself together after his early mistake and our centre backs were solid as a rock though is to be expected from quite a developing partnership.
The result flatters our performance and we lacked a bit of zip today but we're top of the group after the first match so you can't ask for anything else. Interested to know why Grinshaw was chosen over Gunn as that was a surprise.

Thought juve looked much more solid with nine men tbh.
Imagine on Roberts on the right and Barker on the left, really hope we get to see that some time this season.

Crikey, that's some goal by Roberts. Looked like he'd overplayed his second touch, but got there first and seemed to just magic the defenders out of his way!
