Where do you think the most work is needed?
I think the USA tour was good for the fitness side of things, the hot weather and teams in the middle of their seasons would have helped, especially for the players who were injured at the back end of last season.
I was more interested in how the lads adapted to Poch's style and I think the attacking side of things have adjusted quicker than the defensive side. The front four at times have looked the part at times in terms of pressing high and counter attacking with Lamela, Soldado and Holtby looking like they're enjoying it most.
Obviously we've now got the World Cup players to come back but I still feel like there is a lot of work needed (as usual) at the back and we still probably need to buy a player in the middle and move on the likes of Ekotto and improving on Dawson if we can.
I don't think we'll do much more in the window, center back and striker I think is only places we're short. We've got an abundance of midfielders (again, as usual) and unless we sell some I can't see us doing anything in that area.
