It is only Romero's first game but on this evidence how was he CB of the year.

sorry, but I would expect a lot better than what we've seen so far.

Imagine being his sodding estate agent. I'm surprised he hasn't shoved the for sale sign up his arse.

Do have to retain some amount of perspective, imo. As Nuno alluded to in some of his pre-match stuff, at some point you have to play these kids and give them the experience of playing in games that matter. There are some very inexperienced players on the pitch, playing against professional men. It's going to be unbalanced, and that will affect the more experienced players too.
Didn't expect much from this game more than gametime for people like Scarlett and John, and pre-season for a couple of others.
Winks and Lo Celso in particular need to step up though, as they're both experienced (internationals) enough to be able to compensate for the inexperience of others.
Got to go change formation now, really and kick on.

This is why I was not happy with the squad. This isn’t some useless competition, this is now really important if we wanna get back into the CL and it’s a way to do so even if we finish outside the top 4. Granted it’s still 3(?) years away from the revamp, but still.

I can’t remember the precise details but starting in a year or two the top two clubs by coefficient points who did not qualify by normal means (Top 4, EL champions) will qualify for the CL. It was basically a sneaky way of making it easier for clubs of exactly our stature — a bit shit but with major global television appeal — to get into the tournament.CL qualification

After a promising first 10 minutes we looked pretty clueless after that. 11 strangers on the pitch - there's just zero chemistry.
You could tell Nuno had started to coach the system, but with that many players unaccustomed to playing together it was always going to be tricky. So many loose passes under no pressure and moments of miscommunication.
