We've definitely grown into the half. You can still see it's a work in progress, a lot of players running into similar positions at times. Richarlison has got better as the half has gone on, but we've not really created anything for him to go after.

My big worry is how alone Bissouma looks in there, not just on the transition. Even during slow buildup UTD are finding men either side of Bissouma and it's looking like neither Maddison nor Sarr are close enough to him.

Sonny still been better than Kulusevski who just passes it back to the keeper or hits it against the defender. 0 end product

That half pretty neatly summed up the pros and cons of Porro for me.

Potential of brilliance going forward but is it worth the chaos at the back?

He looked a bit nervous and lacking rhythm so I think he can iron out the silly giveaways but Royal is much much safer pair of hands (feet?) atm.

Our attack just doesn’t seem to be at it, we really need to shake things up there, whether it’s personnel or new signings.

Richarlison is so obviously not the answer at centre forward. Once again can’t get into the game and offering so little threat.

Think he’s better wide left.

Not criticising Vic but what does he bring the party? I thought it was his passing but not seen that.
It was his shot stopping I think. The save he pulled off kept us in it. His footwork is ok, definitely not been bad so far. Strange player to pick out from the game so far.

Bissouma is such a baller. Love him.
Front 3 needs shaking up. Richarlison has been pretty shite.

Richi is the biggest disappointment on this team. He's the one that needs dropping for a few matches, maybe that will wake him up

Still not sure how Son and Kulu work in this system. Son from 3 or 4 years ago definitely but not now. Too predictable.

Would prefer Son through the middle and Perisic and Solomon on the wings.

This is what's most disappointed me. I wasn't expecting Kane-esque magic or precision from Richi.

I was, however, expecting constant movement, haranguing the defence, putting himself about, making life hard for them.

He's done essentially none of that.
Would disagree: his pressing’s caused problems and he was unlucky to not convert the rebound - slipped. When it’s not going for ya etc.

Kulu’s been the best out of the front three. Son & Richy very underwhelming. Son’s looked better than last game though
