....this was the last one so you have to take some signs at face value.
Left back aside we are super solid at the back. Hopefully Adam grows into the role quickly but the signs are its a premature introduction at this point thanks to Myko's injury.
Gana and Garner for me were a bit off today but we complicated it with both KDH and Alcaraz playing central roles too. They both played well I thought as did Dwight who played central also when he came on. He's the most incisive of the three IMHO but of course also a bit less dynamic.
We know Ndiaye can do it but today wasn't his day.
Barry looks raw but exciting, Beto is what he is. We won't be signing anyone to start ahead of them.
Overall I think we look solid, but need to be patient as fans. I felt like Moyes set us up today almost in recognition we won't be getting our starting right midfielder imminently. It kind of worked, but was congested at times.
Roma obviously a decent side but were beaten 4-0 by Villa the other day and are probably a week behind us on fitness.
