Yep, I watched the majority of the game and it's a bit of a humbling score to Perth. They sat with 9 behind the ball at all times and the pitch was pretty narrow so it was hard going to break them down.

The new signings were good, I thought Daniel James in particular was very bright, definitely has pace but his movement is also very intelligent and as they sat deeper making it hard for him to get in behind, he was happy to drop off and receive the ball. Wan Bissaka looked solid @ RB and wasn't really troubled from what they threw at him which wasn't a lot.

We desperately need that CB signing, all Tuanzabe did all game was foul Fornaroli, that's not going to cut it in the EPL. Oddly I thought Jones was one of our better CB's in the game, he steps out well with the ball at times. 

The young lads, Greenwood and Gomes in particular were excellent also, they seem to be playing with no fear at the moment and long may it continue, they certainly have the ability to give defenders issues! McTominay is turning into a real Rolls Royce. Smooth, classy and seems unflappable.

I do think we'll get Bruno Fernandes and the rumour mill is really swirling now that Maguire is keen to move from Leicester, we're going to massively overpay for him, but we have no choice. I just really hope he's not another Smalling/Jones further down the track.
