We looked much better 2nd half... despite 0-0 half time and losing 1-0. I'm unconvinced about Greive relative to Kosta/Rojas and even Waine. Does having more control of the midfield second half mean Lewis is in contention for a starting spot?

I think so re Lewis. He was there in 2017. An older head. Both Bell & Stamenic are hugely promising but young. Marko gave ball away alot in that first half, but he'll be better for the experience.

Wonder what CR got out of this game. Given our midfield was overdrawn esp in the first half, and then we give away a goal with a keeping error. Do they play with a higher press, stronger midfield presence rather than just sitting deep like they did in CONCACAF qualifying with a back 3/5.

But for me apart from the goal giveaway (which he'll learn from), Sail went pretty good. Mostly got it right coming out of his box. Garbett, Libby strong games. Was it just me (watching with Spanish commentary) but did Garbett win it clean in tackle, ball first and potentially release Wood on goal, but get wrongly pulled back for a free kick? Anyway MG is clearly developing well in probably an intense high level training environment at Torino. Best 2 AWs player were the 2 at Serie A clubs.

Bell better as game went on, and AWs seemed to play with less fear. Pijnaker went pretty well. And with AWs only winning one corner all game, alot of value of Tuiloma starting was diminished. His passing was often poor.

Wood was pretty subdued. Hopefully that achilles is not bothering him much.

All in all almost the perfect hitup, if Waine had stayed onside! As it was, a hugely valuable warmup.
