You can put some of it down to early games and rustiness but we need a big improvement of Sabri persists with low possession.
The new midfielder wasn’t great - some really poor decisions and goes to ground too easy. Colback will improve the midfield. Carvalho really needs to be in a team that has the ball.
Distribution from the back was so poor. Riberio was so rusty. Gabriel did OK.
Da Costa probably our best player and I’d only give him a 6/10.
Da costa didn't create any chances or really look like he would. Running around fast with the odd nice touch doesnt make him good. Its not like he was constantly threatening to play a nice ball or make a great run either.
Carvalho looked solid, made some interceptions and played some decent forward passes.
