Morishita looks a tidy, skillful, composed player. Plays with his head up. He's slower than many of us thought he'd be though - maybe a step quicker than Dolan? Gudjohnsen was the real eye opener I thought - looked excellent when he came on.

I think there's an absolute Rolls Royce of a player in there, I just doubt it'll ever be unlocked.

Tronstad for mine, by some distance. Wharton was good - although he should have scored.

He's going to struggle to find a more energetic partner than Tronstad. Sondre absolutely put us on top in that game - he dominated the centre of the pitch.

I like the look of Miller too - think he'll be our starting CB before long.

He has that in him every game - he got absolutely done by a touch before that pass too. Loved his brother, but I think Scott is a liability.

Say it very quietly, but Gudjohnsen looks the part.

Where the hell has he got 6 minutes from?!

Oh bollocks, we can't afford to lose him.

Unless he's protecting Tronstad (we genuinely ran him into the ground last season) it's a strange one.

Already holding the ball up better than Ohashi. Makes a world of difference when your #9 poses a threat.

I'd be annoyed that two of our players sandwiched an attacker off the ball.

He loses most physical battles - that's the big problem. His movement is often very good, but he just gets bullied. Alebiosu put in a pearl of a cross earlier - I reckon the 6'2" Gudjohnsen or the 6'5" Gueye would have scored it had they taken up the position Ohashi did.

And that's not a penalty because... ?

3 at the back?

How the hell did Morishita play as a FB? He's been stood up and done for pace a few times by attackers just pushing it past him.

There's loads to bring on.

Tronstad, very quietly, is just fantastic at this level isn't he?

60 mins, desperately need a change now - we've lost momentum.

That was deflected?

Lovely composed finish that.

There must be some unwritten rule in management "You've done sod all for 45 mins, but I'll waste 15 minutes in the second half giving you a chance to show something". Get Ohashi off and get Gudjohnsen on.

It's the pace for me RE Alebiosu - lets him make mistakes and recover. Brittain never got back once he was beaten. His crossing seems pretty good too. Think you definitely need a competent understudy for him though - he gets through so much work he's going to be burned out if you don't sub him a lot.

He's a funny one is Cantwell. He wants to be the creator, often drifting out to the left wing. However he's playing at the #10, which means there's nobody in the box - it's really hard to see where the goals are going to come from.

Right, that's enough Ohashi for one day. Get the lad that scored twice against France on, please.
