That's a bit better. Agree with Sterling, expected the Hart scenario and as the season progresses the full backs will take to their roles a lot more comfortably than what we saw today. Don't think Delph did much to warrant too much criticism though there were a couple of occasions where he had the opportunity to overlap Sterling and give him an option and failed to do so.

Buzzing for him today. :-)
Did he get boo'd by the Sunderland fans? Bar I watched it in was full of Irish rags going on and on so didn't hear the TV.

Asking Clichy and Sagna to do the things that Alaba and Lahm did for him at Bayern might be a stretch. Surely Zabaleta would be more comfortable than Sagna seeing so much of the ball in central positions?
Probably for the best that we played a well-organized, disciplined team that we struggled to breakdown as our first game, it's a good insight into how a lot of teams will set up to frustrate us and Pep will be busy devising ways to break down teams that play so defensively against us.

I thought both full backs did well positionally in the new system, the main problem was their distribution, Clichy in particular made 3 poor passes in the second half in good attacking positions. Early days though and the nice thing is we'll get better as the season goes on and the players adapt.Asking Clichy and Sagna to do the things that Alaba and Lahm did for him at Bayern might be a stretch.

Quiet but its his first game in a new side, new league and new country.
Think its only fair we give him a little more time before we make him the next boo boy.
I like the look of him. Yes, he cuts in and has no great pace, but he's clever, has a good touch, links play well and appears mature. Good addition.Opinions on nolitos performance?

yeah, it's nosebleed territory for them though isn't it? Perfectly capable of making the exact same passes in our half, but everything looks different in the final 3rd.
The more familiar they become, the more quality we will see - same goes for the ball-playing 'keepers.
