The almost non existent pre season means I don't think we should expect particularly big changes to formations and tactics. Not sure that bodes well for the defensive side of our game. 

Timo is very deep all the time. He is like a ten here.

Werner with his very first touch.  Great ball from Ziyech found CHO who stuffed it up but it fell to Werner who buried it.

Thank you

Such great signs lets go!!!

Are the spectators not wearing masks or am I just blind?

Watching on an iPad plus point;

I can take it with me when I need a piss.

I heard the commentator say that but it wasn't his first touch, he'd come deep and touched it a few times in the build up in the first couple of minutes.

Old age, @Munkworth would say 

Interesting that Clarke-Salter gets a very low squad number ... #6 ... suggests he might be getting a squad place this season ?

No chance. 

May not be worth looking into numbers too much but I can’t help thinking if Zyiech will take 22 indeed and Puli switches to 10.

You could use signal flags, I'd probably see that. If you would stand 10 feet away.

Werner messed the header up but that was a wicked ball in from Ziyech!

Ziyech was 22 at Ajax, and Werner was 11 at Leipzig. Wouldn't be surprised to see Havertz (assuming he signs) stick with his #29 ... 

Great attempt by CHO

Either side of the keeper and he would have really been struggling.

Ziyech first corner ?

Didn’t we retire 29 when Morata left?

I never thought I'd see a good ball from our set piece again. Brought a tear to my eye

Yeahhh. It needs a little work

Hahaha - Tomori wore it last year but his last game was so long ago that you are forgiven for overlooking that ?

I can tell you i am not missing Willian taking the corners.
