Really good performance. He was unlucky for the penalty, if a little naive, but Sa looks a quality keeper.
Kilman outstanding again. Safe as houses and good on the ball.
Coady looked much better and like his old self.
Saiss was ok but still makes me uncomfortable.
Semedo is a quality player but offers very little going forward.
Marcal is a safer Semedo but offers even less going forward.
Neves was fantastic apart from the stray, blind pass that cost us the penalty.
Moutinho was great on the ball and had a quality game but would still rather somebody more mobile.
Trincao is improving all the time and just needs to learn the pace of the league before he becomes class.
Traore was fantastic but, again, cost us points with the miss. I feel like it’s impossible to judge him the same as everybody else because the chances that he misses tend to be ones that only he would get on the end of.
Raul was ok. Good link up play but I’m very slightly concerned that he might not return to the player pre-injury. It’s completely understandable and might take some time but I didn’t feel that he was a goal threat at all today or last weekend.
All in all I’m happy with the performance and am sure the results and goals will come if we keep playing like we have (maybe not against Utd).
If I’m Jeff watching in the stands I’m thinking that the team/squad is only a few signings away from challenging 7th again. I’d be more inclined to put my hand in my pocket and make signings after watching that rather than if we got outclassed. A big week in the market and we can really kick on massively.
