Far too much space between our lines when we're defending. I expect Jose to close that up in the second half. Montero owning Ivan, he needs either Fabregas or Willian to give him some help. Attacking wise we've played with a lot of energy, having a centre forward that stretches the defence helps us a lot.

Great first 45, hopefully this dispels the doom and gloom from this forum and we kick on in the second half.

I know preseason is not really an indicator but the difference is like night and day! Thrilled, I really am.

Categorically disagree with brana being past it. We've seen 45 minutes of the season and already thinking he's done - come on!

He dropped off at the end of last season mate. Preseason he didn't really look great either. We'll see, maybe he will improve.

To be honest in some ways if it gets Oscar to step up and spread the load then I'm not so worried.

Yeah that's true mate, hopefully it'll mean when he doesn't have his best days we won't look toothless like at times in the past.

It's early days, let's give Brana a break.

Montero has Ivan in the tumble dryer 

Thankfully Gomis' decision making hasn't been good

Montero is giving us a lot of trouble!

He was exactly the same last year though. But since he kept scoring it was glossed over

Montero is destroying us.

Montero getting round Ivan so easily

How they getting all the shots? Where is our offense?

So when do you guys expect Ramires to come on to deal with our leaky right flank? I'd say 60th min.
