I thought the body language was poor from a lot of them in that first half it's not what you'd expect in the first game of a new season with everything to play for.

I thought we followed on from the last performance in Holland. We were just going through the motions in the first half. They must have had the hard word at the interval because they upped the tempo somewhat in the second half.

Gueye is such a poor header of a ball. Being big or tall means nothing.

He's 6ft 5in plus, and trips over his own feet. Waste of money.

We need to gel as a team, or it will be more of the same.

Axel looks like he can ping a few in from outside the box, not really evident on Saturday but going off his previous goals.

That and our awful set pieces are 2 huge problems for us, both things that teams who will struggle for goals should have nailed.

Even watching Sheff Weds yesterday and despite all their issues, their set pieces were 10 times better than ours.
