As much as our preparation has been disrupted, there has been some more time spent on the training ground when has been possible and things are beginning to take shape.
Now there are question marks about whether Dele,Winks, NDombele etc do have futures. I will also shout out to Sanchez who defended well again, and has done for most of the PL season despite the ridiculous vilification after that appalling Conference league performance from the whole team.
I like Royal, but I think if we had a more dynamic RWB we would really be cooking. I’d have Royal as a right sided CB, defensively he is really solid.
This was our first real test opposition wise in testing circumstances and we came out of it well all in all…..
